[Lcd4linux-devel] HELP! CVS problems

[Michael R. <re...@eu...>]

Hi Xavier, Hi List,

Thanks a lot!
The format did not change very much. There are some new fields, and some 
are gone, but that's no problem with my plugin, because its independant 
from the field names.

As for the meminfo, there are three header lines missing. This is good 
and bad. good, because I had to skip them. Bad, because I may not skip 
them with 2.6. I hate it...

Bad. Very bad.

I want you to stay in sync, too. But I have no idea how to achieve this. 
I checked the docs on sourceforge, the only thing I found is the 
"nightly CVS tarball", but this is a tar.bz2 from the _complete_ 
Repository. I did not check, but this may be far too big for you.


So I'm asking the list: anyone has some ideas? Can anyone provide such a 
script? I've got a server which is running and online 24h via ADSL, so 
running a cron job every night or so should be no problem for me.


TIA, Michael
