Fops, I have been thinking for some time now about the difficulty of doing distributed design; i.e., co-ordinating design thinking in OS projects with widely separated designers, and others who may like to make suggestions. For a start, I think that intermittent email communication is inadeq

Committers, Ok, I have my account. Now, how do I use it? I'm assuming that I set CVS_RSH=ssh, and use -d :ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvspublic to specify CVSROOT. That would mean setting .rhosts, wouldn't it? Which is painful because I get a dynamic IP address. Once I get that worked out,

Keiron, That would be just a matter of associating a value with the keep. The main thing about the approach I outlined is to provide a structure which allows keeps (and stacking constraints) to be expressed more readily. Incidentally, speaking of min/opt/max values, my feeling is that, in a

Soothed Foperators, I have been looking for a while, like everybody else, at keeps. I was looking for a way to unify the processing of keeps and breaks at the layout level. Breaks are easy enough; just create column-break and page-break pseudo-area and insert into the galley as a sibling of

Joerg, Thanks, it does answer my questions, and raises a few others. I'm heartened by this, because what you have described is the inappropriate use of global data in a multi-threaded context. I'm interested because I like statics. They are smaller and faster; what's not to like? Before c
