- Marc, we've got your bug submission. Unfortunately, I'm having problems
- getting the pubs folks to agree to have this document under "revision
- control". Nobody in Austin Development wanted to "own it", so it was a
- rogue document written mostly by my Driver Team guys in the porting
- center.
-
- I'd also like to finish writing the tty section (chapter 5) to include
- line/pacing disciplines and the eventual "generic tty config method"
- (when that's finally coded) as well as try to keep up with the weekly
- tty changes.
