Why the fuck is building a ``configure'' and ``make'' so complex, /prog/?

'sup guys,

We aren't going for another GNU/Linux clone. We're going for POSIX, as you rightly said. The spec is here:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/

Quality control isn't going to be an issue yet, and when it does, we'll be ready to handle whatever it entails. Currently me and three others do the task of looking over the code and updating the local directory on REchan only when it's OK. Everyone else can use the prog.git for development, we'll just keep snapshots of the versions that work.

What are you going to do differently?
The main thing is that all contributions are anonymous and put in the public domain.

You've pretty much avoided any serious discussion of overarching design issues and technical guidelines.
Whenever a design question does come up, it really feels like you're just throwing darts at the words on your monitor rather than enlightening us as to the elements of a plan.

Like HAHAHaruhi said,
More details May 5th.
