but wait a moment; will you agree that Uschi Obermaier really had two beautiful and adorable breasts? |FYI, I rarely use MS-Windows, and I *never* use Cygwin. My objection to |your diff had nothing whatsoever to do with my contributions to the |MinGW.org Project, and everything to do with your apparently nefarious |attempt to sneak the completely unnecessary removal of an existing, |potentially useful feature[*], which itself is entirely unrelated to |your declared intent, into your patch. To further emphasize Ingo's |point, because of this apparently subversive behaviour, I will not even |review your patch further, because I now have zero confidence in its |likely trustworthiness. Trigger happy policing. (But i won't let 'em lay my soul to waste, nono.) |[*] 'RM = rm -f' is defined, as a standard default, by GNU make; by |defining it in our makefiles, we extend this feature to other make |implementations. It isn't MS-Windows which requires this. 99 times out |of 100, I will surely accept the default, but on that other one |occasion, *on my linux box*, I may just want to override it with Not with GNU make. | make RM='rm -i' ... | |or even | | make RM='echo rm -f' ... make -n (unless prefixed with `+'). You can always place something in the $PATH first which does exactly what you want. (Just because i started supporting these by-variable overwrites for the mua i maintain doesn't mean that doing so is a sane thing by itself, generally speaking.) |Removal of that capability isn't germane to the intent of your patch; by |trying to sneak this unnecessary change in here, you have destroyed my |confidence in the entire patch set. If I were the responsible |maintainer, I would have rejected the entire patch set already, without |any further consideration. You shot yourself in the foot -- don't blame |me for that. Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease; I shall possess, within the veil, A life of joy and peace. Nighty night (from horsy horse) --steffen
