(and Studio's installer doesn't believe in symlinks for this reason. and for that reason, the existing contents are all tiny shell scripts rather than the symlinks you'd expect.) but more importantly, he's the only person in the world who would benefit from this... actual app developers would be actively harmed by anything that defaulted to the latest release. that's basically never what you want. (even for standalone toolchains this seems likely to hurt more people than it helps --- "i built openssl or ffmpeg for Android but it doesn't work on my device! help?".) _______________________________________________ Toybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.landley.net/listinfo.cgi/toybox-landley.net
