Re: [Vala] problem with posix profile

[Sergi Alvarez <pancake youterm com>]

Yep, the posix profile is experimental and work in progress, I have
submitted some patches for it, because I find it interesting for
many situations where you dont want to depend on G* stuff,
but it lacks many language features.

Actually the posix profile is just a subset of the glib one.

Feel free to submit patches :)
