I will implement a facility to build an in-place orgmode without any support from make at all. It appears that this would be enough for your use-case, but I'd still still suggest to use GNU make. > At the very least a dependency on GNU make should be documented, if that > is indeed an intentional decision by the community. At the very start of my Makefile branch I stated that I will use GNU make since the old make file already used some GNU make features. This will be documented when it gets released. Using GNU make features helped to keep things a bit more maintenance friendly, but before other things, I have a reliable documentation of what it is supposed to do and can be reasonably sure that it actually does that across a range of platforms. > (I haven't seen any discussion, but I confess to not quite keeping up > with with emacs-orgmode traffic.) It seems a better idea to stay on maint rather than on master then.
