Import: Target Handling Bug





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2004-04-19 14:48 -------
I'm not sure given the last post my point came across. I'm not against using 
using a prefix to resolve conflicts between imported targets and/or with the 
local importER's targets. I'm against using the importEE's project name as the 
prefix.

I can't import two build files (without modifying them) with the 'common' 
project name for examples. And it opens the door to weird edge cases in import. 
What I propose is that the import prefix be made optional (no need for it if 
there are no conflicts), and when necessary to disambiguate conflicts, the 
importER decide what prefixes to use in its OWN build script, and that 
additionally the prefixes used are completely private to the importER, i.e. an 
implementation detail to the importER.

Anyways, this battle was already lost, and the current behavior is here to 
stay. Not that it's that bad really, just poor design in my book. But hey, I'm 
surely wrong since I've been overriden by everyone. --DD
