Yop but the way tazwok handle that is perfectible. Your removed some BUILD_DEPENDS because tazwok autoinstall development packages of DEPENDS but this is not a wanted behavor. If we have 2 variable from the begin of project ther is a reason: some need a dep to build but not to run or inverse. Look for example to slitaz-tools build, tazwok install 11 packages to build a package that dont even use make... and are only copied files. http://bb.slitaz.org/log.php?version=cooking&package=slitaz-tools And one thing... you mention Arch a lot. First you could never do in arch what you do in slitaz, in arch each pkg have a owner and you must wait on him to upgrade/fix or create your own. Second they have build_depends and last: I'ts not my ref and was not my ref when think and creating slitaz. Look to FreeBSD pkgsrc, look to the clean organization and standardization they have. IMHO BSD should be use as reference. - Christophe --- SliTaz GNU/Linux Mailing list - http://www.slitaz.org/
