#17: clean up linuxbios table handling ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: stepan | Owner: stepan Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: code | Version: v2 Keywords: lbtable | Include_gantt: 0 Dependencies: | Due_assign: DD/MM/YYYY Due_close: DD/MM/YYYY | ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ This patch does two things:
- it drops duplicate code for linuxbios table creation to be the same for all platforms while allowing platform dependent additions to the table.
- it adds a function to create the cmos checksum range table (which was specified but not implemented before, LB_TAG_OPTION_CHECKSUM)
I applied the part which creates the LB_TAG_OPTION_CHECKSUM entry.
The rest of this patch needs to be redone.

This patch does two things:
- it drops duplicate code for linuxbios table creation to be the same for
all platforms while allowing platform dependent additions to the table.
- it adds a function to create the cmos checksum range table (which was
specified but not implemented before, LB_TAG_OPTION_CHECKSUM)
I applied the part which creates the LB_TAG_OPTION_CHECKSUM entry.
The rest of this patch needs to be redone.
I thought I comment on this a bit; ticket comments and descriptors in Trac enjoy the same formatting rules as the wiki pages. Meaning, in the above comment you could get a nice bullet-list by simply replacing the dash with a star. It is even possible to nest lists. But that would require you to write the whole item on one line, which may be a bit frustrating from time to time (will there be a wiki-engine that can handle manual line-breaks any time soon?).
(for reference; http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/WikiFormatting )
Since most of the communicating in respect to tickets and patches should be done in the tracker from now on, I thought it was worth commenting on. If it wasn't, just ignore this mail.
