Hi,

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]"

I like this approach - it is simple. We are talking about the packages of three maintainers here. Phil, Peter, James: Would you be willing to commit
your recipes to the repository with these three entry points?

From there we can go forward.


Best regards
