RE : [lwip-users] BSD API tcp echo server port

[Frédéric BERNON]

Kieran, if the sample is only based on BSD or RAW api, I think it can be add in 
"contrib/apps". I think these samples have to be done in the same skeleton than 
"chargen" sample. I think that some tools like a "ping" or a "dns client", or 
the "http server" could be useful to most of developers. Perhaps just have a 
subdir for raw api samples, and another one for BSD samples? They can also be a 
reference for tests or performance measures?

Probably not given the current organization of the lwip code.

I've gotten spoiled by scons (build system) and mercurial (distributed 
version control system).  They let me maintain "upstreams" of projects 
fairly easily so that I can incorporate new patches from the original 
code with far less pain.  In addition, I can maintain a mercurial 
repository alongside the main lwip code even if you don't want it as an 
official part of lwip.  I can't do those things as easily with make and 
CVS/SVN.

When I have to work with make and CVS/SVN, it feels ... primitive.

Is there a Wiki or something that I could put a repository or zip/tar 
file on?  It seems a shame to just let this fade into the ether since 
there are zero BSD examples.

I can understand that.  Time is always the most valuable.

It's disappointing that none of the vendors using lwip have contributed 
any documentation back in return.

Even the broken ports are better documentation than nothing.  Rather 
than archiving and removing them, what about moving them to a "broken" 
subdirectory.
