Agree. Only mentioned the use of the environment variable in the context
of installing the most recent swiftmac server from Robert's own github
rather than the one actually in the emacspeak tree itself. My
understanding (which could easily be wrong) was that the issue was with
getting a copy from RObert's private git repo and having that installed
inside the Emacspeak install, replacing the version included in
emacspeak.
Of course, this also has other issues not yet discussed. For example,
when someone has installed from Robert's private repo and copied the
server into the emacspeak tree, then enxt time the user goes to pull
from the emacspeak repo, git will tell them they need to either commit
or stash their changes. THis will likely cause all sorts of problems for
users as committing will mean their local emacspeak copy has diverged
from the main emacspeak repo.
I do wonder if there is a better way of doing this. For example, I think
it might be possible for emacspeak to include Robert's swiftmac
repository as a sub repository within the emacspeak repository. When
people do a checkout of the emacspeak repository, they would get that
repository as well, but as it is actually its own repository, they could
also switch its branch, lets say to the development branch. This would
avoid all the current issues and allow those who want to to run Robert's
bleeding edge development version while others just stick with the
stable version, plus Robert wouldn't need to do pushes from his repo
into the emacspeak repo. However, I've only read about using this
sub-repo spproach and don't know what the hidden complexities/issues are
or what other limitations this could introduce.
