Glynn:
The "support" which has been removed is limited to the
build system.
Thank you for the clarification; sorry for any noise.
If you include Script.make, the directory must contain
$(PGM).py or you get an error.People are free to script GRASS commands in whatever language
they choose, but shell scripts don't belong in the GRASS 7
repository, so there's no need for the build system to provide
any support for them.
I am not sure how much people use Makefiles with addon scripts,
I suspect it is often easier just to copy them into
GRASS_ADDON_PATH. (typically I just symlink from the grass-addons
svn into there and install nothing)
regards,
Hamish
