After I posted this, I thought a Makefile (still to manage actual symlinks) would be an improvement over a shell script; you're punting on symlinks completely (using VPATH). How has VPATH (or the previous shell script) treated you as a symlink manager/replacement ? -bch > _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
