This is explained here: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/wiki/Platforms > On a slightly different topic, does the 'category' in the package > Makefile influence the build in anyway, or is this just a way to > categorize packages? Unfortunately it is a combination of both. Some categories are just groupings (like "apps" and "lib") which are not used further on, some are real "flavors" which change the behaviour (like "cpan"). See here for details: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/gar/v2/categories Best regards -- Dago -- "You don't become great by trying to be great, you become great by wanting to do something, and then doing it so hard that you become great in the process." - xkcd #896 _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
