Principally the backend load method. QSF also requires a recent libxml2 that the 1.8 tree could not support which is why it was committed to G2 in the first place. > Is this a tree-sync > issue? i.e.: external QOF has moved forward to version w/o glib1, > therefore the easiest way to remove glib1 dep from gc is to upgrade > internal qof to new version, which requires massive factoring? All that work has already been done and copied into gnc. It is also in QOF and I merely wish to not duplicate such large amounts of code. G2 will work on glib-2 on those platforms that don't package QOF - I just want to make sure it's possible to use QOF on those platforms that DO provide it. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
