All the code is in CVS at the moment. It's at a pre-alpha stage, and I'll make a release when I feel confident it will be usable. Perhaps the link to CVS would have been better: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/ldw/CVSROOT/ As for documentation, that'll come with the first public release. > I see it is titled "Linux Distribution Wrapper" -- what about DragonFly > OS? Darwin? OpenSolaris? NetBSD? It's titled "Linux Distribution Wrapper" for the following reasons: - time: I'm only one person, and I needed to limit the scope of the project, although none of the code is really Linux specific and I'm maintaining a very flexible architecture - resources: I only have access to two Linux distributions, and an old Solaris box I've actually seriously considered adding support for other operating systems, but the previously-mentioned reasons took hold. I'm considering integrating libstatgrab [1], which works for just about every Unix or Unix-variant I can name. I've actually posted about this project here a few months ago before I wrote a single line of code, and my post generated very little interest. Should I ask again? :) [1] http://www.i-scream.org/libstatgrab/ -- Karl Pietrzak [EMAIL PROTECTED]
