Hey Coding!

A project log for commonCode (not exclusively for AVRs)

A shit-ton of things that are useful for a shit-ton of projects. (and, Think 'apt-get' for reusable project-code)

Finally looking into some coding again! WEE!

Check out #PotentiallyUseful/Frustrating/Obscure C/GCC/Make

...wherein there's a couple new updates regarding my adventures on efforts toward making commonCode a bit more... public-ready.

Also, have a vague idea floating around my mind regarding how it might actually be doable via git. NO WAY!

Yeahp... something about scripting uploads, and having different repositories for every [public] version of every commonThing... which, really, might not be so bad... (though, frankly, it'd be easier with ftp... those days are long-gone. besides, publicly-modifiable is a pretty cool thing that ftp didn't lend itself to).

And, a vague 'something more', with using git-pull in the makefile... when a commonThing is a needed-dependency, 'make' would automatically run the git-pull request... It'd be kinda cool, but having been on a relatively-flaky 'net connection for quite some time, I wouldn't mind an all-at-once download option... that'll have to be saved for a later day.

...wherein, it starts to look even more like 'apt-get' or 'macports'... hopefully we can keep this *somewhat* dependent on only the sorts of things that don't have their entire interface changed with every version! 'make' and 'bash' have pretty standard and backward-compatible interfaces... but what about git... maybe curl, or wget? Thoughts?

NO I WILL NOT USE PYTHON. (Really, I think they should call it Cobra... isn't that the snake that hypnotizes its prey? "No, really! It'll be alright. This is the path you were looking for.")
