The last time I tried to work on too many things at once they got applied in an order I wasn't expecting so reports came back my patches wouldn't apply (which doesn't make me look so good). So this time I'll just wait patiently for things to be applied before submitting new patches. So far the list of patches I have ready include: - a way of passing any arbitrary "git" or "make" command from the cmdline to apply to all modules being built - centralizing the list-only, no-stop, and one-shot logic (I'd still like to switch the "no-stop" to "keep-going" the way "make" does) - implement auto-configuration (the script can easily determine when configuration needs to be called and can do it automatically, the user should have to specify a cmdline arg if they explicitly want it done again, rather than specify an argument to not have it reconfigure each time it builds) - implement auto-cloning (under certain situations, but not on by default) - this new "provide a list of modules to build" functionality which will build them in the correct order irrespective of the order in which they're given. TODO: based on the feedback I'll probably want to also allow pseudo-module names which would include various related modules as a group These patches are ready, all that remains is the inevitable style and portability discussions :-D (not to mention additional testing) _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
