I have reduced some of the clutter from OS names/versions and compiler
names/versions, and can reduce some more in the status column, that
means we will be able to have a bunch of flags indicating what build
criteria were used. I am mainly inclined to flag these:
--enable-cassert --enable-debug
--enable-nls --enable-integer-datetimes --with-perl
--with-python --with-tcl --with-krb5
--with-openssl
If we have to drop any for reasons of space it would probably be the
first two. Given the fact there are 9 of these I could make it a simple
set of digits [1-9] and provide a legend, although that might not be
quite so visually pleasing.
Any other bids?
cheers
