You're right, we probably need an explicit --enable for now. Putting that around the pcre checks and setting a flag to test in the .mdd file should be good enough. > Also, with a solution like that you suggest, people packaging for > Linux distributions are possibly going to enable the pcre module. That then creates a dependency of the zsh package on the pcre package. That would be rather nasty regardless of the library availability. There should certainly be no need to install pcre to get zsh working. -- Peter Stephenson Software Engineer CSR Ltd., Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WH, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 692070 ********************************************************************** The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
