VSSP packages: Known Problems
No system is perfect. I maintain here a list of problems/weaknesses as
they arise. These would be considered in any possible future
revision of these guidelines.
- George Matas reports: Some packages are updated on an
almost weekly basis. The amount of time needed
to make a tar file, copy it and vssp-build can be large.
This applies particularly when the author has different
directory structure, makefile, library links to self, etc.
- George Matas reports: As libraries are updated, a
package may only build with an old version. This will
eventually be deleted since only two revisions are kept.
The problem will become evident at an OS upgrade.
