Sorry I've been AWOL lately. Tuesday Randy Dunlap handed off
maintainership of the kernel's Documentation/ directory to me. Thursday:
bought a new house (after something like 2 months of cumulative
paperwork), although we're not actually moving into it any time soon,
but _are_ packing our stuff up and putting it into storage.  (Wheee.)

Aboriginal Linux release with 3.3 kernel and uClibc 0.9.33 still isn't
out yet because I need to track down the Fedora build glitch. (Somebody
showed up who wants armv5 big endian yesterday.)

Plus the day job stuff.  Oh, and relatives arrive in town for a family
reunion variant this weekend, most of 'em are here all week.

As for toybox: the  new dirtree stuff is a bit of a flag day change, I
can't check in just half of it because it breaks everything that uses
it, and my "redo ls to use it as a real-world test" turned into a
complete rewrite of ls because the existing design doesn't collate its
inputs right (which turns out to be fiddly). It's been stuck at the 2/3
mark for a week because I've just been _swamped_.

Working on it...

Rob
