Wasted a whole fucking day on this. --- src/boxes/README | 34 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 34 insertions(+) create mode 100644 src/boxes/README (limited to 'src/boxes/README') diff --git a/src/boxes/README b/src/boxes/README new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e01bb6b --- /dev/null +++ b/src/boxes/README @@ -0,0 +1,34 @@ +boxes +===== + +A test bed for a generic editor / pager thingy for the toybox project. + +The toybox project is at http://www.landley.net/code/toybox/ and boxes +is covered by the same license that toybox is. Basically that's a two +clause BSD license, but see the LICENSE file from toybox for details. + +This is a work in progress, proof of concept, playground, packaged up as +one big toy, to be self contained until the mess is cleaned up. This +"boxes" toy itself will go away, to be replaced by individual editor / +pager toys and library bits. Nothing is set in stone, lots of mess +inside, there's bugs, but at least it shows the general direction my +mind is wandering in. As a bonus, it actually works, you can edit +stuff. + +Please don't actually include this in toybox. Just look at it and sneer +/ giggle, depending on your nature. Drop it into the toys directory to +try it out, it's just one big toy. + +If you want to see how it can be used to build specific editors, start +at the end and work backwards. Reading the lengthy comments at the +beginning would also be useful. + +Toybox uses mecurial instead of git, but I keep all my stuff on github. +Boxes will hopefully be incorporated into toybox in a highly altered +form some day in the future. So this is just a temporary git repo for +my convenience. If and when boxes migrates to toybox, this repo will be +retired. + + +BTW, toybox REQUIRES a README file here, a README.md file isn't good +enough. -- cgit v1.1
