Couldn't have said it better myself. :) indeed - i mean if it does cause problems in some obscure cases we don't know about - then you have a very good reason to have such a policy. some examples would be good. if you don't have good reasons i'd place the "policy" in serious doubt - i still dont see a problem in having an option to remove rpaths if spanky wants to add the options for us (thanks man!) - no work to be done then - saves distro's post-patching, but i'd still love to know why! :) -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [EMAIL PROTECTED] 裸好多 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tokyo, Japan (東京 日本) ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
