Any plans to move this into the sf cvs repository? Oh, I've got nothing BUT plans :-) Yes, the way the build scripts work, you can start with an empty directory and they will pull down all of the bits and pieces off of the net, patch and babysit the ones which don't build right out of the box (grrr...) and then jam the whole mess together using the Nullsoft installer. So my plan is to put the source for the builder up on sf, and then hand out CVS rights to anyone with more free time than me (i.e., almost anyone :-) to help keep it up to date and improve it. I just need to "tidy a few things up", as they say, and remove a few lingering machine/setup dependencies. It should only take a few hours, so I should be able to get it done sometime in the next six months :-0 /\ndy -- Andrew Hunt, The Pragmatic Programmers, LLC.
