You continue to complain that the current dependency system is broken but you have yet to provide an alternative. >If there was a universal way of handling stuff as recommended in >Miller97 and most decent algorithm books. You also regularly references to Aegis - again with no explanation as to what problem Aegis would solve and how it would solve it. I recall hearing Peter Miller present his paper at AUUG'97 and I know I was interested enough at the time to install and experiment with Aegis but (for reasons I don't recall any longer), I have since reverted to make. -- Peter Jeremy Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour.
