Can't speak for Jakub, but it seems to me that he just suggested that the configure should look if the Tcl/Tk is available and refuse to install the GUI tools if there is no Tcl/Tk. Though only Jakub can tell for sure. > If you don't do something, it is often interesting to state why: if you > don't install something to prevent a dependency you don't want to have, it > is different from saying that you do not want to have a GUI, _even if_ the > dependency is there already. But I am saying that I do not want the GUI tools installed because I do not need GUI at all. And if the GUI will be rewritten to the Qt (oh, my, don't do that) I will still have no need of it. > Conclusion: I am in favour of NO_TCL, but not of NO_GUI. I am not against such renaming as long as the TCL will be used for the GUI part of git. Should I file a patch for the NO_GUI -> NO_TCL change? What do others think about the knob name? -- Eygene - 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
