Notes:

The DCK, or "Device Configuration Kit", aims to provide a distribution and subsystem agnostic means for managing hardware devices (under Linux, etc.) This includes adding new hardware, configuring hardware, etc.

Architecturally, the DCK will consist of three different layers:

User interface(s). Tools to adminster devices on a given system.
Device/subsystem-specific modules. These deal with drivers directly.
DCK kernel. This sits in between the user interface(s) and the different modules.

The DCK is being written in a combination of C++ and Lua. Lua was chosen for this project due to its high level of flexibility and its embeddable size (around 100-150k of overhead, w/o being compressed.)

New Advogato Features

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
