Allen,
Again, I personally don't think this should be a Gentoo pro-audio
decision. If some systems use WAF and others use scons then we end up
with people across the Linux pro audio comminuty doing things
differently and we end up debugging different problems.
I personally don't have any alignment with the technical side of
this. I just strongly believe there should be a standard and everyone
follows the standard. The devs make the decision what the standard is.
If WAF is important then I expect that Paul will move to that at a
reasonable time. He was at the leading edge of switching to scons.
He'll pick a good time if it's important.
Just my 2 cents,
Mark
