yeah... that's my point actually. That we're currently limiting our thinking because we're using bash to interpret the raw PKGBUILD. True a selfwritten parser may not be *that* simple to write... (though its really not that hard to write a custom makepkg script to bash script translator) but if its a path that would be worth investigating, I'm saying we shouldn't limit ourselves just based on the fact that it is currently _directly_ intepreted by bash himself :) cheers, Essien _______________________________________________ arch mailing list arch@archlinux.org http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
