Sounds good, Lars. Many thanks for your work on this.
Thanks for your feedback!
o "v1". A vote to continue with it (even in "not maintained"
status) for
the time being.
Yes, no problems with that. Though maybe changing the default to crm
yes?
o "get rid of ConfigureMe and other autoconf abuse": they are two
separate things:
o autoconf abuse": sure, let's clean up!
Are you volunteering? ;-)
o "ConfigureMe": is a very useful 'front-end' onto configure for
end-users who have to build their own: e.g where there is not a
maintained/supported package/port available. 'autoconf' wants
to
put things into "/usr/local/{bin,etc,...}", but many OSes (and
some
of Linux-HA's own packages) prefer things elsewhere. So a
vote to
preserve "ConfigureMe" in some form. I'm happy to assist with
such
preservation and maintenance.
I have certain reservations to ConfigureMe. More detailed:
It detects system defaults. That's, in my book, a task for configure.
I doubt that configure is _required_ to put things under /usr/local/
bin
instead of the relevant defaults as used by the system; if the user
wants something else, they can still override them, afterall.
This aspect of ConfigureMe is one which I consider quite wrong, and a
pointless wrapper around configure and duplication of code.
If this is stripped though, ConfigureMe essentially disappears and
ends
up being folded into "configure".
and the bottstrapping code gets moved into autogen.sh like every other
project
