At some risk of being a "me, too" I would also disagree with Ingo Schwarze's assessment. Part of the reason that things are relatively inactive is that most of the questions one would need to ask are already addressed. I continue to refer to it from time to time as well as pointing others to it. I'm on the list to track changes; if I had more time I'd be actively contributing. _______________________________________________ fhs-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/fhs-discuss
