I like to hear this :-) The fact is that Jordan would put this into the
patchkit if he gets my okay. Currently I haven't given my permission
for the following reason: keycap-0.1.1, as officially available is obsolete.
There is a new version which is currently being tested that has a number of
improvements and changes. You may get a copy from
ftp.uni-duisburg.de:/pub/unix/386bsd-0.1/unofficial/codrv (Get *all*
and read the files!). Any comments and bug-reports by anyone are
always welcome.
Before I release this to the real world, I want to have it *really* stable
(not just for the majority of users). This is the problem with any larger
package (like codrv, scsi, pcfs, etc.): it should not require a whole
bunch of new fixes in every new version of the patchkit (pccons is a
good example of a FPH (=frequently patched hack); I want to avoid this).
