Not really. These changes turn opencog into an library/framework, but the MindAgents are still static. Nothing prevents you from creating agents as a static library, though; the inconvenience is that you'll also have to extend the cogserver to plug in your agents... :-( On the bright side, I already have a separate set of patches that adds support for generic-dynamically-loadable modules to the cogserver. I've finished the basic design last week and it works beautifully! :-) Once both changes are merged, we'll have the best of both worlds: dynamically loadable modules which can be built independently of opencog on it's own tree. Unfortunately the dynamic-modules merge will have to wait a bit. It was developed on top of the 'threading' branch -- so I'll have to backport it -- and worse, merging these changes to the 'libatomspace' branch will make the current opencog <=> petaverse integration even harder, which I believe is not really desirable right now. -- Gustavo _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~opencog-dev Post to : opencog-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~opencog-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
