yes. the rule is that there is a list of users who allow anybody to write to their darcs repo. currently they are "xbit krix vmiklos". the repo is owned by me, so it's writable via darcs for every developer at the moment i've just written a Makefile system (hopefully flexible enough for later purposes) and it contains only the netconfig utility. the plan is to split the 1) dialog 2) netconfig and 3) the general utility functions to 3 separate libs, and then add timeconfig, mouseconfig etc to the repo. those are currently shellscript tools, but using the dialog and the general util libraray it should not be complex to rewrite them in C. by splitting the configuration functions from netconfig (like is_wireless_device() and so on) it should be easy to write gtk or qt graphical utilites what i would like to be done till 0.5 (probably till pre2) is to convert all the *config scripts to use 1) libfwutil 2) libfwdialog 3) libfwfooconfig (each lib per config tool) till the "split-out" of the 3 libs (from netconfig) is not done (i plan to do it in a few days) you can't do too much, after that the big help would be to write something like gnetconfig or so. of course as it will be the first gtk config utility so that you're recommended to create something like libfwgtk for the functions you thing will be usefull for other configuration utilities in short: please wait a bit and then you can help a lot, and this whole "2000libs for nothing" idea will be clear, i hope :) udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org _______________________________________________ Frugalware-devel mailing list [email protected] http://frugalware.org/mailman/listinfo/frugalware-devel
