[Scons-dev] README in repository
I think we have to take a vote on whether to switch the read me file at the top of the repository hierarchy from plain text to a) ReStructured Text, README.rst b) Markdown, README.md or README.markdown I have a slight preference fro Markdown due to the way it handles header markup compared to ReStructured Text. On the other hand Markdown is very Ruby, GitHub, whilst ReStructured Text is very Python. Why the change? So that the read me file look reasonable on the BitBucket page. I can do the markup once a decision is made so there is no need for anything other than a decision. -- Russel. = Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Roadm: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ Scons-dev mailing list Scons-dev@scons.org http://two.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/scons-dev

On a related note, we need to update the information on setting environment variables for testing. I am not sure which shell uses "setenv MYSCONS=`pwd`" format but not any of the ones I use.

I vote for .rst (mainly because I'm already using it on a number of other projects and it's python'y) -Bill ___ Scons-dev mailing list Scons-dev@scons.org http://two.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/scons-dev
