I think you did fine. :) I'm halfway through rewriting the documentation on my website so it's actually coherent, but I find that writing documentation spawns almost as many tangents as writing code does. (I encounter some design element that's awkward to explain and rewrite it so it's cleaner and easier to explain rather than try to document the old way...) I'm working on the next release to come after 0.9.30 comes out, so I'm trying to do that sort of polishing thing now. I just spent all week getting uClibc++ to work so the native toolchain has C++ support. Tomorrow I hook it up to distcc and so on... I wrote up a longer explanation for the uClibc mailing list, I might dig up a link for it after I get a few hours of sleep. :) Rob _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/busybox
