> As a sidenote, AFAIK cons and scons are not related... They are distantly related. The Software Carpentry project was looking for a make replacement. Cons was not eligible because it (and thus its configuration) was written in perl and all scripting within Software Carpentry had to be in Python. So Steve Knight rewrote Cons in python as PCons fixing some of the shortcomings of Cons at the same time. Essentially this was Cons2, since not much happened to the original Cons after this. PCons became ScCons and then Scons. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
