But to be properly integrated, the API will likely change, so any code that used it would have to be redone. Leave R1 as the BeOS R5 clone and lets get liblayout or something better properly integrated into R2. Half ass integration was cause more rework later on. -----Original Message----- From: Skye Poier [mailto:skye@xxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2002 11:12 AM To: openbeos@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [openbeos] Re: liblayout Word on the street is that Erik Jakowatz said: > People are already free to use liblayout, so there's really no need for > us to throw it in.

However if liblayout were included in R1 it would clearly be a "suggested best practise" and all cloned apps would be encouraged to use it resulting in less work to do later... this should be added to "Developer Guidlines" on the website as well. Someone (a team lead) needs to contact Marco and find out if it can be includedin OBOS in source form. If not, it sounds like it can be included in binary form with no problems. Skye
