To be honest I don't think this is a very useful feature and I am against changing the build system to achieve it. Most projects I have seen auto-enable features based on dependencies. Then they show a summary so that you can check that everything you need is going to be built. That is exactly what we do. Frankly I think we have more important issues than this. -- Martin Preisler Identity Management and Platform Security | Red Hat, Inc. _______________________________________________ Open-scap-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/open-scap-list
