Dirk makes a very good point, one we've thought about for a long time. It might be a good time, as we prep for the next version, to think about a contrib system. (In any case, we should either import the Qt4/5 tools or delete the Qt3 one though.) Dirk, is there a way for us to leverage pypi for this? Can it install tools into a dir that we could add to the site_tools path for instance? I don't know if we could (or should) build a web-based contrib system ourselves.
I don't want to install the contributed tools into the usual site_scons directory. They go straight into the SCons install, alongside with "doc", "src", "QMTest" there would then be a "contrib" folder. I can't offer any experience with pypi, so I don't know whether this is possible...but something like this should be the goal.
We can't be the first people on the planet trying to distribute additional software packages...there has to be a solution out there. Let's find and use it, instead of inventing our own. ;)
I am trying to get started on toolchain revamp ideas (which would integrate with the above idea). I'll try to put out some kind of strawman document soon.
Sounds great! Dirk _______________________________________________ Scons-dev mailing list [email protected] http://two.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/scons-dev
