Vittorio-
I've frequently wondered the same, but since I've never had reason to
use LNP I've never fixed it. If you'd like to submit a patch I'll gladly
apply it to the source tree.
In other news- I'm back, more or less. While this week will be pretty
hectic, I'll be spending parts of the next two weeks slowly going
through the legOS archives of the past 6 months and getting back on my
feet. I know lots of people have expressed interest in all variety of
contributions, including stuff related to a new networking protocol and
new and better documentation, and I'd like to get these people involved
as I get myself back into the swing of things.
I'd like to aim at a new release by the end of the summer (say, late
August.) I have no idea at the moment what would go into such a
release... I'll work on a list as I read through the archives, but I'd
think it would probably include new documentation, an API
cleanup/reorganization, and hopefully lots of LNP re-working to make it
more usable. If anyone else has suggestions- please! fire away. My legOS
needs are met; so I'm not exactly going to be a fount of ideas- I just
want to be a clearinghouse and organizer and perhaps coder for the work
and ideas of others.
Anyway, let me know if you think I'm nuts...
