Hi,
The idea is to use CEAN as a devel Framework, let’s say that I dowload the development version of it, and want to modify yaws…

I can see that there’s some Makefile, but I see that some files are missing, some .mk files…

May be It’ll be a good idea to have a develpment framework that will be able to recompile itself completely with a simple make at the root directory ?

This way I’ll be able to test easily my setuid_drv problem workaround…

So ?

well, the difficulty is that many packages does not follow any policy.
so, as cean packages all follow the cean packaging policy, best is to automate generation of EMakefile for any package into the devel distrib (and do not try to pick, if any, original file).
Then come the problem of c_src with platform specific Makefile….
I have no good solution for that, except copying, if any, configure and Makefile.in from source archive.
