Okay, so you're talking IDL or OCL or such. Not much point in reinventing the wheel for that one. That is something that would need to be decided before setting out a design (although it would probably be decided per design by the designer). However, that's still a ways off - we still need to figure out exactly what needs to be designed first. You sound like you have a fair bit of development experience so you must know the headache that a change in requirements mid-project brings! ;-) Regards, Jason Stubbs P.S. I hope this wraps correctly. Using M$ at the moment. :-( -- gentoo-portage-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
