Hi, I was working on partkit, for detecting harddrives with discover, when I read autopartkit code. It does all I wanted to do. Good.
But I feel there is something weird in current debian-installer. There is a lot of tools, which are unfinished, and a lot of them do almost the same thing. It's quite frustating to work on a project and then learn that it's not used anymore (kdetect for example). Maybe a plan or a leader is needed. For the moment, I have seen those problems : * libd-i is not used/released, but some tools are using a copy of its functions : ddetect, netcfg * kdetect is dead, discover already does all that is needed. * lmod-detect-pci is dead too. discover is there. * autopartkit and parkit should share some code * select-device should use libdiscover or should be drop, since autopartkit re-implements it with parted. Sorry, if all of this is already known, but for me, I'm needing a good doc which explains which tool does what, and for developpers, what library I can use and which parts of tools need to be shared. Thanks. -- Thomas Poindessous [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
