Hi,
I have two independent packages. I would like my project to toggle
between either one (but never both at the same time). Both have a unit
with the exact same name, hence both packages can't be added to the
dependency list at the same time.
Is there a way with the Compiler Options -> Other (or Additions and
Overrides) to include a specific package based on a compiler define?
eg:
if defined UsePackageA
PackageDependecy.Add(PackageA)
else
PackageDependency.Add(PackageB)
Well something like that at least.
I would even go further, and have a package included or not depending on
the
OS.
Similar, I think it should be possible to include a unit in a package,
depending on the OS.
In short, a set of conditions for package dependencies and contains
lists.
I would even go further even more:
If we have two units with the same name, would be better if were
possible to create an alias namespace for each unit, like C# does.

But you, guys, will talk about "an Unit is a namespace" -- we know
this is true -- and this is not necessary... anyway.
This is not correct.
We have support for dotted unit names. The only thing missing is a namespace
directive.
I know we have support for dotted unit names -- and this is not so
important, ie, what the difference between MyUnitName to my.unit.name?
-- the real problem, IMHO, is the names collisions between packages.
I repeat:
"The only thing missing is a namespace directive."
And then you have what you need.
Michael.
