Wouldn't it be better to use existing "Add/Remove flags" functionality of Package manager for this? To use your example, the package that wants to include it own font handling could just have "flags CUSTOM_FONTSYS;" in .upp file and Draw package would then turn off the generic font handling based on #ifdef flagCUSTOM_FONTSYS. I'm aware that main.conf as you designed it will allow much more than this, but I'm not sure if it is really necessary.

I do not really see a difference with breaking stuff one way or another... Smile

The difference is that the stuff with flags is already implemented in the Makefile Smile

The main.conf.h would mean to add that feature. It sure can be done, it just additional obstacle.

Add/remove packages work for package compiled and do not allow to define values.

Yes, it does, perhaps not intentionally Very Happy

You can define a flag as XYZ=42 in package manager and it results in -DflagXYZ=42 being appended to the compiler command line.

Anyway, if you decide to use it somewhere in the core packages, please let me know that I have to implement matching functionality. I use the universal makefile not only for compilation of theide in the linux packages but also for my own projects (e.g. to deploy them on OpenShift).
