Charles, I like this idea. I created a src/ tree in our cvs repository in the hope that something like this would be implemented. http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/leaf/ >The model David worked out for building LRP packages (ie a sub-directory >that would allow a "make lrp") would be updated/extended to make LEAF packages.

Right now we have unlimited space in our SF CVS repository. If this changes I'll let everyone know in advance, so we can make appropriate arrangements. -- Mike Noyes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> https://sourceforge.net/users/mhnoyes/ http://leaf.sourceforge.net/content.php?menu=1000&page_id=4 _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
