Re: [AC sjt-xft] Autoconf.ac upgrade.

Jerry> I just don't know what I'm buying into with sjt-xft. Ah, good point. :-) Defaults to a configuration that tests what I'm interested in, that's all. If it can't be configured off, then that's my bug. Jerry> Can it be configured so that the differences between it and Jerry> the mainline do not manifest? You can turn off Xft. Everything is #ifdef'd, just it all defaults on so you must configure --with-xft=none. There is currently nothing generic in the code that I haven't put in mainline, except for configure.ac. Some docs have additions to mainline, but of course they're Xft-specific (in Future Work). Ben's most recent spate of patches have not been applied. I'll be working on that over the weekend unless somebody vetoes them in the meantime. Some people might consider that lag an advantage. 8=) Jerry> That one looks easy to fix. If Malcolm doesn't get to it Jerry> soon, I'll do it. Feel free to commit it to sjt-xft. If you really would prefer working in the mainline (I can think of several reasons why you might, although I personally think they're minor), you can commit configure.ac to mainline. I am unwilling to do it myself for the reasons stated, but I'm not going to veto it as long as the committer takes responsibility for not screwing the users (something like ~24 hr response time to bug reports for ~7 days after commit, response != fix but one should try hard). -- 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.
