The second issue is more challenging. It complicates the dependency handling quite a bit, and may cause difficult situations to happen at dependency resolution time. This becomes particularly messy if you mix packages you build yourself with packages grabbed from a repository. I wonder if there is a simpler solution which would give a similar feature set. cheers, David ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-devel mailing list Matplotlib-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-devel
