Why was babel removed?
Suggested by several people on list, and none of the maintainers disagree.
I don’t see any (public) request by Juliusz and your last message in this regard said:(Message with Subject “[quagga-dev 12262] babeld sync-up”
As far as I know, Juliusz does not want us to distribute his code with GPL notices. I understand he doesn't intend to discuss that further. However, legal advice suggests GPL notices are advisable on at least some of the quagga-babeld files, if we are to distribute them.
I did not see any message after this and I saw advanced notice of this removal (I would have expected the usual 14 day advance notice).
It was proposed early last week amongst the maintainers to remove it at the end of the week, and there were no objections to that as far as I know. Only a discussion on the commit message.
The advanced notice would also have helped to someone catch possible failures. The build is now broken because of this. (I would have expected a proper build to just ignore the “—-enable-babeld” and my build still succeed even if I have this enabled. But the build now fails. See https://ci1.netdef.org/browse/QUAGGA-QMASTER-58 )
Is it just cause of the --enable-babeld? Can you just remove that? I'm loathe to make the configure scripts be a binding API. ;) regards, -- Paul Jakma p...@jakma.org @pjakma Key ID: 64A2FF6A Fortune: What we anticipate seldom occurs; what we least expect generally happens. -- Bengamin Disraeli
