Re: --pkgdir and --package-path

Ville> Another thing that needs clarification is Ville> --package-path. configure.usage says: configure.usage is 100% correct on Unix and Cygwin, and since Windows rarely is a true multiuser system, I think we should wait for the FAQs rather than pointlessly bulk up configure.usage. The three parts of the --package-path argument have rather different semantics, and each part can be an ordinary search path. Thus the doubled colon. The semantics only make sense when an admin might be installing for multiple users, each of whom might have their own package installations, and (optionally) there's a legacy 20.4 package tree installed. So normally it's an ordinary colon-separated path. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
