05:04.49 narnia brlcad, does brd-cad grok BoM (bills of material)?
13:36.03 narnia it is downright cold here. :-(
13:51.23 dan_falck how cold?
13:51.42 dan_falck did you get an ice storm?
14:49.09 narnia dan_falck, had some freezing rain last night. yesterday had snow flurries.
15:19.51 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03lbutler * 10brlcad/regress/ (weight.sh Makefile.am): added regression test for rtweight.
16:31.18 brlcad narnia, you've asked that before :)
16:32.29 brlcad narnia: it can support bom information via object attributes, but there is not explicit support for them
16:55.21 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/bench/run.sh: orignal gangstas use consistent style
17:13.13 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/other/libregex/Makefile.am: don't prevent the lib from building if they go directly to the directory
17:17.17 ewilhelm_ brlcad, have you heard of stow?
17:18.52 ewilhelm_ It lets you keep install a tree under /usr/local/stow/brlcad and link-farm it into the appropriate directories under /usr/local/ (bin/, etc/, etc.)
17:19.26 ewilhelm_ xstow is another version (done in C++ instead of Perl)
17:49.05 *** join/#brlcad dan_falck (~danfalck@pool-71-111-52-74.ptldor.dsl-w.verizon.net)
20:41.46 brlcad ewilhelm_: no I hadn't, interesting idea I'll have to look into .. thx
20:52.42 brlcad that is fairly interesting
20:52.51 brlcad I wonder how many packages actually use stow/xstow
20:54.36 brlcad or probably the better question is how many package-managed distributions support stow's linkages on a filesystem policy organization level
23:17.29 ewilhelm_ I think it's more an administrator-level thing.
23:17.52 ewilhelm_ e.g. checkinstall is one way to track built-from-source apps within your package system
23:18.20 ewilhelm_ (maybe 'checkinstall -D xstow brlcad' would be one way to do it?)
