If you'd ask me, I think that you should prefer the "explicit variant" option. This will be a significant and backward-incompatible change so the sooner you do it the better. The simplification would allow you to concentrate your efforts on something else instead of first merging variants for windows and then removing them when you go with explicit-variants. As for the variable, maybe just introduce a new variable $(TUP_TOP) (or something like that) - I guess $(TUP_CWD) is used only for this purpose like in 99% of cases. $(TUP_TOP) would be equal to $(TUP_SRCDIR)/$(TUP_CWD). Usage of $(TUP_CWD) should then be discouraged and $(TUP_TOP) should be preferred (update the examples to only use this one [assuming that this variable is used in examples] and update the documentation to emphasise the new one). I hope that I understand that correctly, because I'm not 100% sure about that - after all I'm just theorizing as I never used that <: Regards, FCh -- -- tup-users mailing list email: [email protected] unsubscribe: [email protected] options: http://groups.google.com/group/tup-users?hl=en --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tup-users" group.
