As Ojan mentioned, I am actively working on that. One thing that would be helpful would be to how each port would like to support using cascading files and modifiers. Assuming each of you is free to do as you like, you can pick from several paths, e.g. you could use one file, or one file per operating system, or one file per os plus one file per version plus maybe a webkit-2 specific file (roughly what most ports do today, I think), or something else? > And I disagree with disabling ORWT at all.

I am not aware of these issues ... can you explain further, or file bugs? In particular, I'm not sure I fully understand how all of the different Qt version/platform combinations work, so maybe there are issues there that can be improved? If ORWT is easier for you to use than NRWT, I would love to understand why, so that hopefully I can improve NRWT for you as well. > If folks don't want to use it, just not use, but disabling for everyone by > fiat isn't a friendly thing. I'm sorry, I was under the impression that no one (apart from Apple Win) was using ORWT any more, and I thought we had reached feature parity between the two tools (or at least that NRWT supported everything that ORWT did, obviously ORWT doesn't support reftests or a bunch of other things that NRWT does). I'm not about to remove a tool that people are still using :). That said, having two tools that are both widely used and do essentially the same thing is unfortunate, so it would be good to converge where/when/if we can, I think. -- Dirk _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
