[Scons-dev] Two questions…
1. Is there a good reasons for having Perl code in our SCons repository? 2. Is there a good reason why we have lots of Python code in XML files? Oh and… 3. Is there any reason why we should not switch from DocBook/XML to Asciidoctor for all the documentation? -- 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 https://pairlist2.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/scons-dev

I'd like to postpone any discussion of the doc toolchain until after we get the python 3 work done, unless you strongly feel it's urgent. I'd like to second this. The issue has already been discussed in the past, and just like for "migrating the bugtracker away from Tigris" or "migrating the repo to git/github" I see the basic problem as follows: It's always easy to "talk the talk", but then you have to "walk the walk". People's plans seem to collapse at step 2 frequently. ;) Best regards, Dirk ___ Scons-dev mailing list Scons-dev@scons.org https://pairlist2.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/scons-dev

There is only reason - lack of manpower to review alternatives and do transition. -- anatoly t. ___ Scons-dev mailing list Scons-dev@scons.org https://pairlist2.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/scons-dev
