I insist. It is a violation of a basic design goal of the plugin system. The main program can have no knowledge about any specific plugins. Packages, plugins .. doesn't matter. The problem is "specific" and to a lesser extent "external". Externals (including plugins) will come and go, often. The base package will change slowly. _______________________________________________ Gnucap-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucap-devel
