Hiya. Work is progressing pretty nicely on the visual config editor (which is named vconfig, pretty creative I thought). The main time waster right now is creating the DESC file. Basically, vconfig runs through LINT, extracts all the information it needs from each entry in the LINT file, and then does a lookup in the DESC file for additional information. In the DESC file, there is a help text for each option, a list of arguments that are required for that option, and a list of arguments that aren't required, but can be present anyway. My question: Does this seem like the most efficient way to do things? Is there somewhere else I can find the information that I'm currently putting in the DESC file? Is it true that, by contributing in my own little way to the FreeBSD project, I will instantly become irresistable to members of the opposite sex? Steve. PS: If anyone wants to help me in creating the DESC file, I'd be much appreciative. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
