The advantage is that all the source that belongs to the release is consolidated. all rtems packages are prepended by rtems- so they are still easily identifiable in the sources subdirectory. Ideally, the readme will simply direct the user to run the script/command necessary to build things :) I think this is simpler, and users will still be able to find specific sources as they need by looking in one place. >> >> (I discussed with him briefly before, and am in favor of this >> approach, but held my vote :)) >> >> > --joel >> > >> >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> >> devel mailing list >> >> devel@rtems.org >> >> http://lists.rtems.org/mailman/listinfo/devel >> > >> > _______________________________________________ >> > devel mailing list >> > devel@rtems.org >> > http://lists.rtems.org/mailman/listinfo/devel _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@rtems.org http://lists.rtems.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
