cool.

If you prefer one over the other I'll fix it to your liking.

I hadn't thought of that so thanks for asking. I would say that openthreads should go to OpenThreads-2.7[.8] but some people might prefer to have it all in one dir. Maybe there's a step we're missing. What about users that want files installed in /usr/local for example. Do we need to provide an install script or similar? I will eventually get to looking att the debian package generator but that won't happen before osg-2.8. cheers Mattias > > Thanks again, > > J-S > -- > ______________________________________________________ > Jean-Sebastien Guay [email protected] > http://www.cm-labs.com/ > http://whitestar02.webhop.org/ > _______________________________________________ > osg-submissions mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-submissions-openscenegraph.org > _______________________________________________ osg-submissions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-submissions-openscenegraph.org
