I'm working on it. Your infrastructure required some adaptation to do what I want it to do in toybox. I'm trying to clean up pending as fast as I can but I'm worried that people using pending and relying on stuff in there might get broken when I do the cleanup and promotion... Speaking of promotion, I think I may get sed promoted today! (Yay! Implementing 'l' now and the testing pass has made it to the kernel build of the aboriginal native build. I've still got to run it through a linux from scratch build, but it hasn't glitched in a while...) Then I have to finish putting df back together with the -h output, and then I promised Ashwini sharma a gzip compression implementation, and then I can poke at boxes again... Rob (I also wrote a very long email at dreamhost again about the web archive. They're working on it. I think I may finally have managed to explain that regenerating the web index doesn't fix a message delivery problem. We'll see. The techs working on it aren't subscribed to the list so they dunno what "success" looks like...) _______________________________________________ Toybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.landley.net/listinfo.cgi/toybox-landley.net
