Short answer: no the script is not interated into the make process yet, but even if it were: the tools needed to generate the files are not available on every system (spell: Windows), so we should keep the generated files in CVS just as we do with ext/standard/url_scanner_ex.c for those of us that do not have the 're' tool installed. i thought about generating the files during buildconf or configure as they shouldn't change to often, but have finally decided to use configure to fill a make rule that will work like credits_ext.h: $top_srcdir/ext/*/CREDITS $top_srcdir/scripts/credits $top_srcdir/ext credits_sapi.h: $top_srcdir/sapi/*/CREDITS $top_srcdir/scripts/credits $top_srcdir/sapi as make does not support wildcards in dependencies (or does it?) i will have to use a little configure magic to fill in the actual lists of credits files as i'll get the new book on autoconf tomorrow this will have to wait another day -- Hartmut Holzgraefe hartmut@six.de http://www.six.de +49-711-99091-77
