Binary releases, by definition, are not meant to be rebuild, so the hassle of collecting patches and making all work is only supported by one volunteer, not the average user that want to compile from scratch. -Fred ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

After about 1 second's consideration, I realized that of course this is the only reasonable policy. Unfortunately, now I remember why I changed to using crease: >Martin Spott wrote: >> "Curtis L.

We don't want FlightGear releases to have to depend on prerelease CVS versions of plib, so we have to wait until the next plib official release. By the way, are you certain now that the crease patch is in the plib CVS? Since the loaders are not an integral part of the plib core, one alternative would be to maintain our own AC3D loader in FlightGear, based on the plib one.
