We need to look at that whole area with respect to LIBDES too. As far as the non-des stuff is concerned, it may be worth making release do a `make -DRELEASE'. We can then control what gets built in (or out) in the applications Makefile. Of course, the argument of what gets built in or out will be fun too. As soon as we ifdef out DEFLATE, we end up with a pile of complaints from the people that want to install using a pppd peer. The alternative is to do the same as I did for libalias (manually load it from the shared lib at run time if it's necessary), but this is probably a bit of overkill. I have no immediate intentions of adding any more compression protocols (unless some kind soul submits one). I also have plans to add RADIUS and multilink support..... could this be considered ``bloat'' ? I'm open to suggestions. All this would be handy at installation time (well, RADIUS would be pretty useless), but, as you say, the install floppy is gonna overflow. > -- > cheers, J"org > > joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE > Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) -- Brian <brian@Awfulhak.org>, <brian@FreeBSD.org>, <brian@OpenBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org>; Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
