Anyway, I don't see the point of removing support for building packages from the tree. I can still legitimately want to build Tix along with Tcl, Tk and Itcl. IMHO, the fact that the tools in src no longer use Tix doesn't imply, to me, that the infrastructure to build Tix should no longer be there. It costs very little (or nothing) to keep it working. Removing it just because we can doesn't sound like such a good idea to me. Maybe I'm being overly conservative? If more people think so, please let me know, I'm always open to change. -- Alexandre Oliva Enjoy Guarana', see http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat GCC Developer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} CS PhD student at IC-Unicamp oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist Professional serial bug killer
