Nope. Those are external dependencies, I don't want any outside of libc. > OR > You would actually implement the compression/decompression algos for > implementing these features.? Implementing them myself. (bunzip2 is already in, and I've got bzip2 compression code I wrote lying around. gzip/gunzip are straightforwardish, I messed with that years ago. I still need to dig into xz.) My blog has a long painful writeup of getting my new netbook working, which ate yesterday and today, and will probably eat bits of tomorrow. But the new one has 4 gigs of ram (upgradeable to 8) instead of the 2 this one maxes out at, and may actually support kvm so I can do a Fedora virtual image and finally nail down that darn build bug that's blocking a release of aboriginal (I.E. toybox's big test environment)... Sorry for the delay... Rob -- GNU/Linux isn't: Linux=GPLv2, GNU=GPLv3+, they can't share code. Either it's "mere aggregation", or a license violation. Pick one. _______________________________________________ Toybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.landley.net/listinfo.cgi/toybox-landley.net
