Oh, I didn't introduce the term make world here, but I liked it and thus copied it. [as everyone probably knew by then I was doing cross-builds including packaging, a *bsd make world is not exactly what I do.] What I mean is: all packages should be automagically buildable: fetch, unpack, build, repack. The 'make world' aspect: do that for all packages available, is something that will follow as soon as all packages behave. > I maintain that the ability to automatically make a package from the > commandline is desired, but that that and make world are orthogonal. Ok, just a matter of definition, so it seems. Jan. -- Jan Nieuwenhuizen <janneke AT gnu DOT org> | GNU LilyPond - The music typesetter http://www.xs4all.nl/~jantien | http://www.lilypond.org
