The problem with XML is that it's totally illegible, and there aren't decent tools for it... and if there were, it could just as well be binary and thus _much_ more efficient. > In that file (use View Source to see the XML if you're using a browser), > there is this bit: I didn't find it when I looked into the file... see how illegible XML is? > <requires interface="http://0install.net/2007/3rd-party/libsvn1.xml"> > <environment insert="usr/lib" name="LD_LIBRARY_PATH"/> > </requires> Well, at least it has a package (although not capability) based dependency system unlike autopackage. (Actually, that definition does include a partial description of how the depended-upon library provides a wanted capability: with 'insert="usr/lib" name="LD_LIBRARY_PATH"'. It's just in the wrong place: it should be in the libsvn1 description, with Subversion depending only on the capability.) -- Tuomo
