[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



everything should be in by now.
Please review / update documentation for dependencies on i2c, etc.
I already took a shot at README, INSTALL, QUICKSTART.
Please test compilation/installation on 2.2/2.4.
Would like to give Phil the goahead on Thursday or Friday.
thanks
