Re: Unix Sockets

Ugh. Sorry. I suppose I was confused by the --pipes option for eb-lite.
Is there any documentation or example for using this, instead of the
TCP? It's probably best to use AF_UNIX instead, but that requires adding
a command line option or something so that you can specify the filename
to use for the socket. Particularly, I don't want to be creating a bunch
of these in /tmp. If I can figure out how to use the --pipes stuff for
now, I can get at least start getting my GUI working with it.

On another note, I noticed many problems in the core when I tried to go
and make distcheck a tarball from it, to copy to my other machine, as I
don't use/want QT, so having that source is a bit moot to me. Is there
any way I can get eb-lite core with cvs instead of subversion? I'd
rather not have to install yet another revision control system, just
for one project, let alone learn it. :) Thanks.
