i disagree - this change affects not just this specific version, but this version and *all* future versions, at least until this mechanism is changed again. and the reason for documenting it is that without some attention to how this new change operates, it appears as though the build is broken.
so, i'd second the motion that this be written in both the relnotes and the FAQ. the relnotes/changes happen automatically from commit messages, but the FAQ should be the place people look, instead of posting to the list. b On Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 3:26 AM, Paul Melis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Paul, > > Paul Martz wrote: >> >> I was surprised to see a change with such widespread ramifications >> discussed >> only on osg-submissions, so I'm cross-posting. >> >> I think I've now waded through enough of the posts in this thread to >> understand why this was done, and how to cope with the fact that OSG >> header >> files are now in the build directory. >> >> Mathias, could you take the time to enter a FAQ on the wiki regarding >> this? >> > > This should primarily go into the release notes.
