** config.site |
65 |
|
This guy is really a problem. It's contents should be read before |
66 |
|
handling the options, so that the latter properly override the latter, |
67 |
|
but most people would want a means to have a config.site that depends |
68 |
|
on $prefix for instance. |
69 |
|
|
70 |
|
Some other would like config.site to be looked for in the current |
71 |
|
directory. |

Harlan: |
74 |
|
|
75 |
|
I'll go further. |
76 |
|
|
77 |
|
I'd like to see several layers of config.site available. |
78 |
|
|
79 |
|
I'm starting to use "modules" at more places to handle software |
80 |
|
installation, and it would be helpful to set general things like: |
81 |
|
|
82 |
|
prefix=/opt/pkg/@PACKAGE@/@VERSION@ |
83 |
|
|
84 |
|
once at a global level, and then, for example, have things like: |
85 |
|
|
86 |
|
--with-etcdir=$prefix/etc |
87 |
|
|
88 |
|
stuffed "above" the various versions of SSH so I wouldn't have to hunt for |
89 |
|
these things every time it was time to recompile a new version of a |
90 |
|
previously installed package. |
91 |
|
|
92 |
|
Something like: |
93 |
|
|
94 |
|
src/config.site Global stuff |
95 |
|
... |
96 |
|
src/ssh/config.site package-specific stuff |
97 |
|
src/ssh/ssh-1.2.27/ the actual source code |
98 |
|
|
99 |
|
I'd like to see automake/autoconf better support packaging tools (like |
100 |
|
modules, the *BSD ports/ stuff, and others would like hooks for RPMs). |
