They *are* considered that. So, again, if you want to change that, you should propose an appropriate guideline. > which they really aren't. Maybe. But they aren't delivered with the binary RPM; so how this matters (or is the least bit similar to the Java/Mono situation) is not clear. Do you also want to use doxygen to regenerate API documentation included in a tarball, despite the fact that a different doxygen version's subtle stylesheet and markup changes could totally mangle the docs? How are you going to catch *that* breakage? -- Braden McDaniel e-mail: <braden@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> <http://endoframe.com> Jabber: <braden@xxxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
