Ok, I'll try to come with something when I find time. > I also would like to ask your help to get Elektra accepted in the Fedora > Extras distro. I am allready doing that... Almost all the issues that were raised during the review are fixed, except for the compilation warnings and some issues regarding man pages and header files namespacing. However, there is the separate issue of you becoming fedora extra contributor. If I've understand it well you want elektra in fedora extras but you don't really want to be a fedora contributor. In that case you could just close the review, and wait for somebody to resubmit elektra. I'll do it myself if nobody else step up, once I think elektra is ready for fedora extras. > Can anybody tell me why we have a full ltdl library inside Elektra's source? > Isn't it the OS responsability to provide one? Does Linux provide one by > default ? There is one on fedora. But this code is a portability layer that may be required on some platforms that will lack ltdl. More portability layers may be needed in elektra, since it uses, among others memset nl_langinfo setenv setlocale strcasecmp strchr strrchr index rindex strtol ctime_r getuid getgid and also mkstemp. But it is not a high priority issue, since there doesn't seems to be a need to port on many platforms currently. -- Pat ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
