I worked through the above default distro config; and winkled out a
number of defaults to hack into the inner configure; but I got tired and
indecisive towards the end; hence this mail.
My essential premise - is that we should be making the default build,
as fast, reliable and painless for our entry-level new developers as
possible: which means they shouldn't have to pass any exotic autogen /
configure flags to get a good working build.
Anyhow:
* Changed defaults (new default is as if with this param):
--enable-broffice --disable-epm
--enable-cairo --enable-hids
--enable-lockdown --enable-opengl [ disallowed for win32 ]
--with-system-python [ without which gdb fails horribly ]
* and removed the obsolete PAM checks we had
* The remaining options for which defaults may need changing are:
--disable-binfilter # it was the default to not build it ...
+ IMHO we should not be building this for most
developers by default, compile time is already
too long.
+ I've disabled it by default, please scream if you
violently object [ it has been like this for a month+
by default (or just add --enable-binfilter to your
build). ]
--without-system-jars
--disable-crypt-link
--disable-randr-link
--without-system-mesa-headers
+ misc. pieces to use/not use system stuff by default
any violent opinions ?
--with-extension-integration
--enable-ext-presenter-minimizer
--enable-ext-presenter-console
--enable-ext-pdfimport
--enable-ext-wiki-publisher
--enable-ext-report-builder
+ it seems we stopped building and installing all these
useful extensions
--with-ant-home=$BUILDDIR/$APACHE_ANT
+ and have to have a system ant now [ should that be the
default ? ]
--with-system-dicts
--with-external-dict-dir=/usr/share/hunspell
--with-external-hyph-dir=/usr/share/hyphen
--with-external-thes-dir=/usr/share/mythes
--with-dict=ALL
--without-myspell-dicts
+ are dictionaries that interesting to developers
anyway ? I suggest not migrating these.
--enable-zenity
+ I like this ;-) and if DISPLAY is not set it is not
used anyway.
Thoughts / flames ?
HTH,
Michael.
