I've been thinking about this some more, and it seems really sad. So
many projects have no documentation. When you do produce some meaningful
documentation people assume its worthless junk. What is a developer
supposed to do? I don't mean this as a criticism of Svein. Lots of
projects are abandoned, and it isn't always easy to tell the mature and
slowly changing things from the abandoned junk. Grrrrrrrh.
Hear hear!
I totally sympathize with you on this. The fact that the msp430 project
has docs, is a rather crucial for the indtroduction of new
users/believers of this. So for this, thanks for doing a great job. I
have been working on other project which are far less documented than
this, which have been really really hard to start working on.
The doc is good, and maybe it isnt the doc which should be updated. A
readme into the GCC dirs in CVS should do I guess.
...however one thing keeps confusing me more than any other project I've
participated in: and that is the apparent multiple precense of
applications in the CVS. The GCC is present into multiple dirs. And I
was look for the the FET jtag tool software for linux and then I found
it twice into the CVS as well. One into pyjtag/ and one into jtag/.
Which is the latest, which is the best??? I have never seen any docs
about which one to choose.. So again, it was to do some trial and error.
I guess that the multiple-souces-for-a-lot-of-things does confuse the
user. If there were only on gcc directory (and everthing related to
3.3.x and 3.4.x (/current) is done in CVS branches), one msp430-jtag
directory and so on, we would see a lot of less mails like the one I
started with.
