Hi there,

Back at the end of February, I posted some suggestions[1][2][3] for
modifications to gengetopt.  I wondered if I could have some feedback on them?
I am expecting to have to do the work required to implement these changes (once
approved, of course), but I was hoping to start some discussion about them and
their suitability.

All the best,

Sorry Tim

I've been busy lately and I still haven't been able to look at your
suggestions...

please feel free to ping back if you don't hear within the next weeks

cheers

Ping! I wnodered if you had managed to find some time to have a look at those
proposals I sent?

Sorry to pester you, I understand that you're busy. It's just that we really
need the facilities of a config file for GNU typist. I've already got a branch
that uses gengetopt but, pending the outcome of discussions over some of the
proposals, I can't switch to it. The other solution would be for us to use our
own config file mechanism in the meantime, but this just seems like duplicate
effort.

Looking forwards to hearing from you!

Not yet sorry O:)

just for curiosity: are the features you need already implementable
manually on top of the code generated by gengetopt?

I'm asking this since I wouldn't want to overload gengetopt with too
many features that then become hard to maintain...

hope to give you some news soon!

cheers

Yes, I could take the generated code and modify it. But I think the
modifications would be extensive enough that I couldn't easily
regenerate the code. So it would defeat the point of using gengetopt
slightly.

Or were you suggesting that I do this in the meantime in order to move
forwards with gtypist? That is perhaps not such a bad idea.

If it helps, I'm quite happy to commit myself to maintaining them (and
writing them in the first place, of course).

Best regards,

No, actually I was thinking whether, in your context, one could wrap
changes around the generated code, not to modify the generated code
itself, since then, as you noted, it would be hard to maintain it for
subsequent modifications :)

well, thanks in advance then :)

hope to give you feedback about your proposals soon!
