[gNewSense-users] IMPORTANT: Formating error with the fmt.sh script & Problems with the kpvtab.py

[Christophe Jarry]

Hi everybody,

As I was checking the formating of tables containing the Kernel 
drivers, I found out that the fmt.sh script didn't accept digits as 
driver names. This means that all the 'ieee1394*' files in the 
'ieee1394' section would be written as 'ieee'. I've modified the script 
to allow digits in the file/folder name.

Moreover, as the urls naming problem pointed out by Bake Timmons is 
important, I've modified the fmt.sh script to have urls as in 
'Ubuntu-hardy-linux-2-6-24-drivers-dma', the last part corresponding to 
the relative path linux-2.6.24/drivers/dma whatever the absolute path.

And, because I'm working on the stats script for the Kernel drivers, I 
needed to have the number of all the files present in each folder, I've 
then added this functionnality to the script.

The resulting script's name has been changed in TableFormat.sh as I 
think it's more intelligible for us.

If you want to see results of this script, you can go to 
http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Kernel/Image or to 
http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Kernel/Ubuntu-hardy-drivers. The tables 
created by the script are at the bottom of the pages each time (I've not 
deleted previous tables, of course !).

If our community agree, I suggest all of the Kernel Freedom Verifiers 
using ONLY this script. This will make things easier if we want the 
stats of the KPV as quick as possible. It will also require new created 
webpages (new urls pointed by the script) to be completed with the work 
already done and this is the most urgent task as the work is progressing.

If everybody agree with that, I will update the 
http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Main/DocumentingYourWorkKernel page and upload 
the script (do someone know how to do that?).


I've also looked at the kpvtab.py and found that it assumes that: the 
verification is already done (100%), all the drivers checked are free 
(100%) and that all the folders contain only one file. This would 
influence the stats script I'm writing and let us believe that a section 
is completed while it is not. So, I strongly suggest all the Kernel 
Freedom Verifiers using ONLY this script.


If someone find some bug, please inform the list as quick as possible, 
I'll try to fix it as soon as possible,

Thanks,

Cheers,

 Pitof
