Re: [gpsd-dev] How to get started writing a GPS driver?

Hi there Tim,

Let's figure it out together.  I've got the source open and I'm looking
through it as time permits.

address@hidden:/usr/src/git/savannah$ git clone 
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/r/gpsd.git
Cloning into 'gpsd'...

Receiving objects:  39% (17749/44788), 19.50 MiB | 146 KiB/s   

It'll be a moment before it arrives.  I've got the stuff from debian
wheezy here, too.  I'll start there.
