or what is the criteria to be qualify enough to have write accesses on hb project sourceforge.net ? I am interested to become one. my sourceforge id is "tjyang". My main interested so far is to have hb source tree under GNU auto tool, this was a promise I made a while back but never got a chance to work on it. Now the interest is back. T.J.

Having write access to the SF project pages doesn't give you much, since SF is only used as a distribution media. There is no CVS or Subversion repository of the Hobbit code there.

Are you sure there would be any major benefit from this? I don't mean this as "what a silly thing to do", but the build problems caused by different operating systems are very few - and can usually be solved easily. My concern is that switching to autoconf would require sprinkling lots of "#ifdef HAVE_SOME_FEATURE" all over the code, which makes it much less readable - and hence more error-prone and hard to maintain. So unless it solves a real problem I'm reluctant to commit to using autoconf. (And yes - there are several large software projects that work just fine without autoconf. OpenSSL, for instance). Regards, Henrik

Ok, what is more value added work to help improve hobbit ? Is there a todo list on your mind ? Thanks for the response tj
