I'm not interested in having the features option used to describe bugs that have been fixed, sorry. It should be straightforward to find some real feature added in the release where the bug is fixed though and you can check for that instead. > Better again: would you consider the possibility of adding a new kind > of variables (let's call them "lazy"), so that a definition like: > > LAZYVAR = val > > behaves exactly as: > > LAZYVAR = $(override LAZYVAR := val)$(LAZY) I don't have any idea what this is supposed to do... it doesn't make any sense as written. Can you describe in words what you're looking for? _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
