Its not really necessary to automate evrything. All we need is a central database, which simply contains all we really need to know. Of course we need *one* database per target system, which is really careefully maintained and the used by as many projects as possible. The current situation of every project hacking its own whether forecast, is really unreliable and unsatisfying. > You might want to look at the ScratchBox approach > (http://www.scratchbox.org/) which uses an emulator like qemu to run > test programs on the target. Oh, no ... no more such bad jokes .... please, please lets stay serious! You dont really ask me to set up an complete (hardware) emulation for every target, just that braindead stuff like autoconf can guess how many bits an int takes ?! No, thats not serious software development. cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service phone: +49 36207 519931 www: http://www.metux.de/ fax: +49 36207 519932 email: contact@metux.de cellphone: +49 174 7066481 --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- DSL ab 0 Euro. -- statische IP -- UUCP -- Hosting -- Webshops -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
