So I'm not too keen to push this 'native' layout idea. I would concurr, the idea is that if (f(x) != f(x)) something is wrong, the system has some form of outside influence, 2 users giving the same input come to different results. an associated problem is optional dependencies the right questions to ask when diagnosing problems should be "what did you do?" not: "what is x in magic place, I cannot tell you where to find it . without information y", because a user generally can give you a vague idea of what they did. in otherwords, I think it is important for the build system to be a pure function to the extent possible given the existence of system differences. _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
