I will point out that there are two things, currently intertwined, that dont neccessarily HAVE to be. that being: 1. our "source tree" 2. our "GAR build system" If there were a simplified published API, for the source tree, that would accept and interface build systems other than gar, then perhaps Peter F (and "others" *cough*) would be more inclined to check their stuff into it. for example, if there were a flat namespace in the source tree, and if it were always possible to do cd mgar/pkg/softwarename #and then one or more of make make package (?make clean?) Define an absolute top-level "API" that doesnt require GAR, and you might see more stuff in there, even from the "GAR-o-phobes" Right now, you have sort of a defacto one from GAR usage. But you havent formally stated, "as long as you follow [this API], its ok even if you're not using gar]" _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers
