When you tar up the stuff, do it from the previous directory, so that you don't have to copy the tar file to a new directory. Also, use some type of version number or date in both the tar file and the directory for your sake, and everyone else's. You can use a command like this for the tarring: tar -cvzf ifi_loader-0.01.tar.gz ifi_loader-0.01/
Right now, you program is copyrighted and you have all the rights and protections that provides, which means we can't modify it. I assume, since you are releasing it to us, that isn't what you intended. Thus, you need to license the code to give up some of your copyright rights. There are virtually unlimited open source licenses, some of which are listed at http://www.opensource.org/licenses/ You should choose one of those (I prefer the BSD license) and license your software with it.
Can you include a short readme that tells, at a minimum, where to get the information that you used to write this loader?
Thanks for the time that you've spent on this. |
Thanks, I know. I haven't had time, I finished it and decided to upload to people to look at at like 5-6am in the morning. I've only spent two days actually working on it trying to parse the data and write it and a couple days just looking over the packet communications. I'll try to finish it sometime tonight, I've been working on our blimp project and haven't had time today. By Monday, I'll have GPL, etc...with versions. Anyways I'm going to work on it around 11PM Pacific Time, if anyone wants to help on AOL instant messenger, screenname "Ryan Waliany" Today the other control members burnt out the EduRobot by hooking it up to a power supply, but I've managed to use a backdoor to turn it on by skipping the on switch. So I might be able to finish it using the EduRobot still. If not, It might have to wait till next monday.
Thanks,
Ryan Waliany
