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. -- La sémantique est la gravité de l'abstraction.
