This should solve that small issue. As I explained in our private discussion, this is complex and does not solve the SYMLINK problem: users would still not be able to override the distribution SYMLINK directives without using last_rule, which is not an option because it breaks RUN processing. With its current semantics, last_rule should almost never be used by users. I still think that having different "last_rule" directives for NAME and RUN rules would be a better solution, and it looks much simpler to implement and understand too. --=20 ciao, Marco --HcAYCG3uE/tztfnV Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCjGs0FGfw2OHuP7ERAgmYAJ9uXNDr/NJUBk8fyLML2BR5zCODHQCfazXW pcswHyYGS8BZiWBZAuf5Tv0= =OK+2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --HcAYCG3uE/tztfnV-- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?
