OK, so we may either: 1. always use the lowest common denominator (i.e., no pcre support) 2. force a dependency for new features (i.e., require pcre) 3. have inconsistency between builds (i.e., conditional dependency) 4. include all dependencies, or re-write them natively I agree that 4 can make some sense in limited situations, but I worry that it will eventually cease to be scalable (we don't get improvements or bugfixes automatically from other packages, we potentially re-invent the wheel). We already have '3' for other things: openssl, curl, expat, even perl. -Peff - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
