Hm. I guess I'm of two minds about this; I can see the value, but there's also a bit of a question of the process here; if someone posts a patch, what's the process for reviewing it? I guess I'd like to play it by ear; I mean, we don't have a lot of committers putting wacky crap in there right now. Okay, sure, I committed the TLS support recently and that broke a few things, but I fixed them; seems that most developers take responsibility for fixing stuff they break. If it's something more complicated, well, we could always have people put stuff on a branch and ask people to look at it. And I'd rather keep the barrier for people who are actually writing code rather low.

I think our current >makefiles are fine, personally. Hm, okay, given the above point ... would you object to a git branch with the Makefiles converted over to automake? Would you be willing to take a look at it to see if you like it better or worse? I just ran into a whole pile of cruft when I was adding the TLS support, and I think switching to Automake would make things a whole lot easier. If the consensus goes against Automake, I'm willing to let that branch die. >No we don't, not if you mean GNU libtool.

Alright, that I will work on. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
