Hi.

I just saw the new "project status" table on the libh homepage. I 
noticed that there were 2 "tasks" that were unassigned and that I might 
give a hand.

I would like to get a better description at the issues at hand though:

- What is the problem with the make(1) build?

- What exactly are the installation scripts supposed to be? TCL/libh 
scripts to perform standard fbsd install procedures?

I am interested in the freebsd install process and general configuration 
structure...

I personnally think that the main distribution should move to a more 
package-like system where files installed would get indexed... The 250+ 
bin.xx files have made their time.

Changing this process would involve:

- changing the make release process (eek!)
- me moving from -stable to -current on my workstation (eek! :)
- making a new install process (that's what I'm interested in)

I tried to spark some interest in changing the cdrom distribution format 
in a few lists, without any luck. :) 'might be because it's a really bad 
idea, I dunno..

Anyways, I unfortunatly don't have a lot of time on my hands, but I 
could start working on this on my spare time...

A.
