[Dojo-interest] layerDependencies in build

[Eric Pasquier]

"a few mails ago", Dustin wrote some explanation about custom build :

http://mail.dojotoolkit.org/pipermail/dojo-interest/2010-May/046178.html

I used this and changed names for "myDojoLayer.js" and "myExtLayer.js",
which I suggest you to use to complete the doc page.

It's also a pleasure to see that comments are useful.
Tell me if you need some help.

Eric.

yeah the point of the string.discard is that it's a discarded layer  
and that's why it's not string.discard.js - this was another thing i  
remember as being a little confusing too.

i sympathize with you, my experience with the docs for the build  
process has been that they seemed to make more sense after i  
understood the build process.  unfortunately, when you're starting out  
you don't have an understanding of the process :)  it is a large topic  
and so it takes some skill to cover it completely in a way that's easy  
for everyone to understand.

of course, since this is open source anyone (including me or you) can  
work on improving the documentation.  little by little it all gets  
done.  in fact, i probably should have worked on a few paragraphs  
instead of writing this :D

it helps to hear the suggestions for what would be useful improvements.
