I didn't find mention of this paper by Peter Miller in the archives, so I thought I'd post it. "Recursive Make considered Harmful". http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~millerp/rmch/recu-make-cons-harm.html Millers thesis is that by (manually) dividing development into independent subdirectories we are artificially sectioning the projects dependency DAG into sub-graphs and are losing dependency information in the process. Its an interesting paper. Koshy <koshy@india.hp.com> My Personal Opinions Only. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
