Yeah, I don't like it either. The main worry I've had, was that when a user executes "jhbuild -f jhbuildrc list", it would start a git-clone. But on a second thought, that can be documented everywhere, and jhbuild does for example create the prefix in that case, already. I'll revert to the None default for a v3. Either way, that might not be much of a problem soon, because I am writing on a proposal for a lightweight wrapper script -- x-jhbuild, or similar. One benefit would be a configuration directory, and the moduleset could point there by default. > Would be good if someone could update the wiki to reflect these changes. > > Acked-by: Dan Nicholson <[email protected]> > > -- > Dan _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
