Secondly efficiency; in the case of a pbuild it could be run from within = the PM; for something like a jbuild it would use the native tools and existin= g libraries like ANT. For hbuild it would tie into Cabal. While these may b= e used already, we go from PM -> BASH -> LangX. I'm just saying give the _option_ to leave out the BASH bit when you have mature tools in langX. > You'll need to answer those questions anyway should you ever need to > write a GLEP for that. >=20 Yeah, that's a long way off; no point doing a GLEP without a working implementation to show what you mean, imo. No point dedicating coder resource to implement if it'd never get used in any case. --=20 gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
