We discussed this in bug 449806 already. Problems that need to be |
| 11 |
solved: |
| 12 |
- If we want to keep support for both array and whitespace-separated |
| 13 |
list then we can't preset a global variable. |
| 14 |
- How do we distinguish between DOCS being unset (i.e. install default |
| 15 |
docs) and DOCS being empty (i.e. don't install anything)? |
| 16 |
- We could introduce some special syntax like a __default__ marker, |
| 17 |
but do we want such in-band signalling? |
