I agree with retiring vil1 as well, however doing so looks to be a much more involved purge than removing vidl1 was (which I did just a few months ago). On the reason the topic started in the first place, I just pushed a patch to address the libpng15 problem in r34802. The commit fixed the problem in vil1 as well really out of convenience but I still think we ought to work towards excising it. We've been using the patch on an internal copy of VXL for a while now as several of our developers run on "bleeding edge" Linux distributions (ArchLinux, Gentoo, Fedora, etc.) so this has been affecting many of us here at KW for some time. I just haven't gotten around to pushing it upstream until now. - Chuck -- "Mathematicians are tools for turning coffee grounds into formulas.", Paul Erdos On Mon, Apr 23, 2012 at 8:27 AM, Joseph Mundy <mu...@le...> wrote: > I would be willing to "cleanse" vil1 from vgui.
