OK, I have uploaded 1.7.250, it is on the tux and utk mirror sites.
- All Awk use has been replaced by Lua. Luas now include:
basename cmp common.lua cut dhcpcd-- dirname
grep head login split tee undeb-- unrpm-- wc
Some of these are more functional than the Awks they replaced,
some are less functional for the moment until I apply more effort.
The dhcpcd-- is somewhat different, it doesn't actually do the
setting of the interface, and it isn't a daemon. It will just
output something like:
IPADDR=1234.1234.1234.1234
DNS_1=1234.1324.1234.1234
NETMASK=1234.1234.1234.1234
GATEWAY=1234.1234.2314.2134
so that you can use it as "eval `dhcpcd--`" in a script.
I added "pcmcia start" and "eval `dhcpcd--`" lines to rc.custom.
This means it will try to start pcmcia and try to configure the
network by default, slowing down the boot by about 15 seconds and
just spitting out some annoying errors if you have neither pcmcia
nor a dhcp server.
Note:
The Lua included on tomsrtbt includes the luasocket libraries, for
tcp and udp programming, the md5 and crypt library, the bitops, and
the regular expressions library. A lot is possible, much more than
I've gotten done so far.
Note:
I will probably be further editing the lua man page included for size.
