Do we need c-linux-libre? ;) Oh, you hit the weak point of this proposal: I can not formulate a rule, why e.g. libsodium does not need to be prefixed by "c-". And what about c++ libraries? Maybe the main difference is that one can not (or only hardly) use some (let's say) ruby package in C, whereas the other way round is not much of a problem. -- Regards Hartmut Goebel | Hartmut Goebel | h.goebel@crazy-compilers.com | | www.crazy-compilers.com | compilers which you thought are impossible |
