Exactly why I did it ... after yet *ANOTHER* complaint from a user on the mailing list about being unable to use GNUstep because of the issue of the default installation not working. I know that all the user has to do is read the INSTALL document or any of the installation HOWTOs etc and source GNUstep.sh, but the fact is that most people just don't bother. IMO we need a system that just works. > We can have a discussion about the patch, and I actually may be in favour > of making the change to use the native filesystem as default, but it does > require some discussion - and probably should be coordinated so that it > happens in a release. ;-) I strongly disagree about leaving it until a release ... how can people try it out, decide what they think, offer changes etc if they never see it until it's officially released? The point about svn trunk is for people to try out new things. I don't really mind the change being reverted if you like (the main point being to get people to actually do something about the problem), but I think it might make more sense to revert to the old behavior *after* everyone has had a chance to consider the idea and let me know that I'm an idiot, rather than assuming I'm an idiot in advance. _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
