I don't see any problem in including it on CVS ... if it is useful to people, it's a good idea to do it :-) [obviously, the portable GNUmakefiles should always be there for 'standard' building] The main disadvantage I see is that there is a maintenance overhead which could back-fire! I mean, we're giving them xcode projects to make OSX building more 'click and build' - but if the *.pbxproj go out of sync and stop working, they might actually start putting off people instead of encouraging them! :-( People trying the software on OSX might try the xcode building, find it doesn't really work, think the software doesn't work or is poorly maintained and give up. If we told them to follow the procedure we are maintaining, we might have more probability of success. :-) So I'd recommend we only do it for projects where we will actively maintain the xcode port. ;-) Thanks _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
