Yes, this is a point indeed. At least because there is another tendency amongst us, trying to keep both ADK in general and especially maintainer stuff (e.g. package makefiles) as simple as possible. So highly complicated, but as well portable makefiles are even worse than ones with lots of requirements. > (Conditional build is also possible, i.e. build it only if it's not yet > there.) Hey, wouldn't this be an idea? I think checkouts won't increase dramatically, and we can just remove it if GNU make 3.81 has become standard. This thread needs more opinions and dis-/aggreements!
