Hi,

I am going to try to explain something that was asked on the english irc tonight. Fyda and Jupiter have a request for some changes to be made for the SVN.

So that I don't difform anythig, here is the transcript!

Jupiter> ppmt: if you can, ask the devs if they can just do a 'svn export' of all the plugins into one package, this will make life so much easier for us to build install packages
<Fyda>     ppmt: an example of what I hope for: Compiz Fusion's git repos for the "plugins-main", "plugins-extra", etc.

<Jupiter> ppmt: if there was a 'svn export' package with a make file, then all the plugins will build easily from one package

<Fyda>     ppmt: plugins-main contains a large group of plugins, but they don't need to be individually built; you only need to do ./autogen.sh, make and sudo make install at the top level

<Fyda>     and it makes everything

<Fyda>     it would make packaging easier, too


Well I hope you will understand it because I don't

Fyda is asking for an autoreconf and makefile that will reside in the root directory for the plugins and will build all of them, rather than you having to cd into each of them and autreconf/configure/make/install-ing them all separately.
Jupiter is saying pretty much the same thing, all of the plugins in one pacakge...

I dislike the idea of a big Makefile for all plug-ins; plug-ins must stay independant
what if 1 plug-in fails to compil ? then all plug-ins are broken !
moreover you may want to compile only the plug-ins you will use.

especially when it's so easy to make a "for" loop in a script, as I did in the "compile-all.sh" script which is available on the SVN
