In addition WPKG client already supports setting any variable you like. If you don't use WPKG client then wpkg.js is typically run from a cmd script which can set variables too. Most applications I know use some *_ROOT variable - but they do not set them. Usually I don't like to implement things which bring potential problems... Modifying the environment is currently optional (if no variables are used the environment is never touched) and "exposing" a special variable makes environment modification mandatory (if something fails, WPKG will fail completely). In addition some users might use WPKG_ROOT already. And we already had a discussion on the tools folder where it was agreed that it makes more sense to set a TOOLS variable within WPKG client. Well, I agree that it would be technically feasible but for sure it would offer redundant functionality. So I ask here the opinion of other persons using WPKG. Would you like that WPKG exposes its root directory using a variable? If yes, how should this variable be named? And more precisely: For which purpose you would like to use this variable? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.wpkg.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. |
