http://review.gluster.org/#/c/7526/ - this is a proposal to add a build time dependency on 'rpcgen' and get the files for XDR routines and co-routines generated during build time and avoid having them in the repository.
This is due to a fact that i observed recently that we have been modifying the auto-generated files alone rather than making respective changes in ".x" For example at commit "29bccc2ed18eedc40e83d2f0d35327037a322384" - this results in two things which leads to other infinite things - Divergent of ".x" files for future use and inconsistent codebase which is one of the most important pieces of the overall functionality. - ill informed person like me making changes and not able to figure out where the hell build error is coming from. I do understand that `rpcgen` as a build time dependency could cause portability troubles as rpcgen is a glibc tool, but OSX provides it with a default Xcode install. Can NetBSD and FreeBSD porters validate such a fact? -- Religious confuse piety with mere ritual, the virtuous confuse regulation with outcomes _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
