Could you move the license to right below the site? It doesn't really 
matter but I guess I like to see version, site, license as the first 
things in a package. I guess there isn't any official standard to the way 
a package makefile should be in but I guess that is just my person 
preference.

Shouldn't you add a dependancy on libz then?

I haven't tested this so I don't fully understand what exactly what you 
are doing here. I see that this is an autotools package but it doesn't 
appear to be building or installing using the autotools infrastructure. 
Could you please elaborate a little bit more of why exactly you can't use 
autotoools to build for this? I believe I understand what you are doing 
here but I guess I would like a few more details from you. 

Also it looks like thrift is a compiler, so wouldn't we want to have this 
available as a host tool because presumably there would be a need to to 
add custom user packages that utilize Thrift to compile their application. 
Again I haven't had time to read further what exactly thrift does but 
these are just the few things that are coming to my mind tonight.

I will try to investigate this a little bit more in the coming days (next 
week) but for now this are my initial reaction comments.

Huh, that's very OCD :)
There are several packages that don't keep them ordered, specially those

It's implicit from openssl, we don't build openssl without zlib (it's
possible to do so, but not really that useful and would complicate other
packages).

A quick overlook then.
Thrift is basically a compiler and runtime libs.
The compiler component is only useful for the host because we don't do
development on the target any more, that would be host-boost, which IS
actually using autotools infra (no defines overriding HOST_THRIFT_*_CMDS).
For the target the INSTALL phase has an override to just install the
runtime libraries and avoid the compiler, tests and examples.
The target BUILD override patches the thrift makefiles to use $(THRIFT)
rather than hardcode it (the for-SED loop), and builds passing $(THRIFT)
to the appropiate host-compiled one (since it's hell bent on using it's
own built one which would be cross and wouldn't run).
This is a double catch though, i wanted to build examples as a sane way
to test it that things are ok but not install them.
Regards.

  But not as much as requiring 80 hashes in the header :-)

  It's not because it wasn't done right in the past that it shouldn't be 
done right now :-)


  I agree with Ryan that it would be a good idea to standardize on some 
order of the variable definitions. But since there is not standard at the 
moment, we have to wait for an edict from Peter before we can enforce it.

  That it's implicit from openssl is not really relevant - if the 
dependency is ever removed from openssl (OK, this will not happen, but 
just imagine) then we'd like to keep the correct dependency here.

  It would be nicer though if that could be done with an upstreamable 
patch, but I think you said before that it wasn't going to happen.

  I do think that your sed magic should be done in POST_PATCH_HOOKS on 
the Makefile.am, though. Patching up the generated Makefiles just feels 
icky to me.

Some licenses were defined a few days ago that weren't the last lines
before defines and nobody said anything, you should have shown up then :P

Propose it then and get it rolling, for the time being there's no rule
about it.

Ok.
All the packages that use openssl should be checked though, almost none
of them do zlib either (doesn't mean they use it directly, but a good
check wouldn't hurt).

I don't think i've said that, but i might be wrong.
At the moment i prefer SED rather than a patch because there are many
instances around, i'll try reaching upstream to see how receptive they
are to a patch that just defines THRIFT ?= .. for a clean cross build.
It was a leftover from a quick hack to get it to build properly that
i've overlooked when cleaning up.
Fixed, i'll send a revised patchset soon.

I never was intending for you to change it, rather it was a suggestion and 
I don't have any standard to fall back on to back me up.

I guess all I really care about is a comment in regards to zlib being 
built from having dependancy on openssl. I don't always remember these 
things so just a friendly reminder comment is good enough.

Thanks,

Point is thrift has a hard dependency on zlib right now (regardless of
openssl, for channel compression) so it is a dependency.
It can be built without it and loose the TZlibTransport but really it's
already pulled in by openssl so making it optional is kind of pointless.
What should be checked is the same holding true for other packages that
do use openssl and _maybe_ use zlib as well in a separate fashion which
haven't accounted for it (like thrift).
So the comment itself wouldn't apply, pulling in zlib does (select +
DEPENDENCIES) which is what i'm doing for the next patchset version.
Regards.
