I'm sorry Uze, but we can't ignore a cornerstone of being open source. Files need to be contributed in the preferred form for modification. This is a hard requirement and we can't simply choose when to opt in or out. Additionally, there should be a freely available tool to translate those sources to the build form. We seem to be choosing solution #2 from my list, which is to declare the output of the generator the new, preferred form for modification. That is fine, provided that: a) the generated code is actually readable and maintainable b) no one EVER runs the tool again in those files I would still like to get a confirmation by someone about (a). -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center
