So, what's required to build the programs to support the doc/ tree? If all they need is unroff, I'd suspect that all you'd need in the source tree is gcc/egcs, which should already be there, right? If nothing has to be added to the source tree to support the doc tree, and the doc tree includes all the tools it will need to support itself, then we're fine and we haven't added any unnecessary dependancies, right? > What's next, adding a web server to the src tree to support the www > tree? No, the web server should be a part of the www tree, but the programs to build the web server should be part of the source tree, at least the way I understand things. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ____________________________________________________________________ |o| Brad Knowles, Belgacom Skynet NV/SA |o| |o| Systems Architect, News & FTP Admin Rue Col.
