Gentlemen: Andy has taken a large bite of work - tool handling in LinuxCNC - and has made very quick progress on it. He deserves all the support from us he can get; we do not have enough folks taking a larger-than-average bite and actually deliver on it. I also note that part of that work is

Ok so I think this code is well enough tested, and the comp files also includes the documentation. What do I need to do to get this integrated into the codebase. I have a branch on github with my changes. I can provide a patch if necessary. https://github.com/OKComputers/linuxcnc Thanks,

While I'm a LinuxCNC user (and a relatively new user at that) and not a developer, and as such may not be entitled to any opinion on the development process, I nonetheless have a few. :-) Good that's what we want. I'd first like to say that I'm very appreciative of the work that's

[Emc-developers] discuss: packaging HAL separately

2013-06-30 Thread Chris Morley
This was a tabled item from the last meeting. The consensus seemed to be the idea had merit but discussion was needed. Micheal's proposal was a 'machiekit' package that included: Machinekit would be HAL+RTAPI+NML replacement (zeromq+protobuf) The idea here is that HAL is a great piece of code
