Let's say, it's the major item blocking it. Please re-check the patch against the SVN version. Some things in avrdude.conf have been changed lately (like the programmer type being a string rather than an ID now), I guess the patch needs to be modified in order to adopt these changes. Assuming the documentation is there, and the patch is a smooth drop-in, I can promise to include it into the next release. You might also want to mention it in the NEWS file (which serves as a kind of release notes document). > > Besides, I wonder whether the --enable-gpio feature would better be > > auto-probed in configure.ac? > I don't know how it can be auto-probed for, because it targets > embedded Linux systems. OK, point taken. In that case, users are forced to compiler their own version anyway. This detail wasn't clear to me before. It's probably really a good idea to add a reference to a website in the documentation then which explains the entire setup used in some more detail than AVRDUDE's documentation could. Btw., ac_cfg.h.in is not SVN-maintained. It is automatically generated by the autoconf stuff. -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
