I'm about to commit a change to Compile to use type=<recipe_type> instead of is_<recipe_type>=yes.
I assume you have some facility for backwards-compatibility in there?
Before I commit I have some questions. The variable name; as it is inside the recipe, "type" should be clear enough, but as the word "type" is a reserved word, it can be used as a variable but I don't like it, maybe "is_type" or "recipe_type" is better?
My vote would be for recipe_type. It's less ambiguous, and won't get highlighted by vim :)
When I'm at it, why is one type called "compileprogram" and not "autoconf" or "configure", which is, imo, more natural.
That's a really good question. Unless someone has an objection, I also vote for
recipe_type=autoconf _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
