"intention" instead of "conclusion" is a better word here ;-) The goal was to have the file around when using source .tar.gz from syncevolution.org, because those are built in an environment where we ensure that rst2html is around. Let's go for option 2. README.packagers must be extended with a hint to packagers that they now (SyncEvolution >= 1.3) should make rst2html a build requirement. -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter. _______________________________________________ SyncEvolution mailing list [email protected] http://lists.syncevolution.org/listinfo/syncevolution
