No; in the case of --package-path it's literal-minded. --package-path is explicitly low-level. In particular, anything you don't specify is defined to be empty. --package-prefix is intended to provide a consistent set of choices with a minimum of user input. But it doesn't allow specification of the user package path. dvl> Uh, if you go that way, I don't see much point in dvl> arguing about anything then. That's just well-meant advice. ;-) The interfaces in question were specified by Mike (--package-path) and Ben (--package-prefix). If you try to change them, you will most likely get strong opposition (especially from Ben, who will no longer be able to use the option he designed and contributed, unless he changes his own installation layout). -- School of Systems and Information Engineering 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.
