Committed, r1918, r1919, and r1920. The commit notes should provide the
full details of the changes. The distribution archive looks much nicer.
Thanks for bearing with these changes.
One thing that came up was the fact that src/helper/options.c used both
PKGLIBDIR for OpenOCD's scripts and PKGDATADIR for user scripts, so I
changed the installation behavior and search paths to PKGDATADIR
"/scripts" and PKGDATADIR "/site", respectively. I also left a @todo
note to add "${HOME}/.openocd" as a search path.
These could all be changed again trivially, but I thought it was better
to get the tree back into fully working order and sort out the details
in subsequent patches. In addition, I know that I did not cover all of
the details in the original #4 above, but I wanted to focus on the task
at hand.
At this point, please start new threads to resolve further issues.
Patches welcome. :)
Cheers,
Zach
