I'll ask though - it does not seem to make much sense to have externally maintained source files in our version control tree. Maybe we could remove these, and have the bootstrap script install these files from a pristine source, like possibly /usr/share/gnulib/lib/getopt.c or something ? This would mean that gnulib must be installed on the computer where bootstrap is run. The tar.gz release files would not have that dependancy though. Or, there might be other projects we can depend on, I'm not stuck on gnulib, in fact I have never used it so far. I dont have the time or inclination to deal with this, but I'd be open to such changes if someone does. -- Michel "Walken" Lespinasse A program is never fully debugged until the last user dies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Libmpeg2-devel mailing list Libmpeg2-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libmpeg2-devel
