Cool stuff, Ales! Yes, I would like to incorporate this into the CD.
Thanks for your work! Let's talk this coming Thursday. I need to
make the Free Dog announcement for this month. . . .
Questions:
* Where does it put the .sos? Into the system's /usr hierarchy, or
into the user's ${HOME}/geda-sources (or whatever) hierarchy?
* Does it check for each package before building and installing it?
Also, how about different versions of the same package? That is, if I
have GTK-2.4.X on my machine, does it build and install GTK-2.6.X, or
does it just leave well enough alone?
* Does it require you to be root?
* How easy would it be to extend to install other packages, like
those required for stuff in the gEDA Suite, but not in gEDA/gaf?
I suppose I could look at the code, but it's easier to ask . . . .
Thank you again! I look forward to incorporating this!
Stuart
