Anyway, it's not my baby, just thought I'd let you know about > it :-) That sounds a lot like the x.org submodule split. AFAIU, it did involve some relatively minor changes to configure/build scripts to handle the submodules being built somewhere other than in a subdir of the main project. Nothing earth shattering, just small changes to how the build works, and I think after the initial shakeout everyone's happy and the development pace is quite a bit faster & more adventurous. All of this from bits I read in the x.org dev lists, and some developer blogs - IANAX.OD cheers, m -- 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
