Hi,
I have (long time ago) written some extensions to syscons, and
finally decided to clean them up, document and submit them.
(Being tired of updating and merging them every time a new
FreeBSD release comes out...)
The patches can be found in kern/15436, and it would be really
great if they could be committed to -current before the feature
freeze. There is no risk, because they completely depend on a
single kernel option (SC_PROPELLERS) -- without this option,
none of the new code gets compiled into the kernel.
The attached patches implement an extension to syscons called
"propellers" (activity indicators), along with a status line.
It is very useful and convenient if you have to work without X
for some reason. So far, everybody who has used these patches
for an hour or two didn't want to miss them anymore. :-)
Details can be found in the PR.
Regards
Oliver
