Dear Nathan Lynch,

Thanks, this looks almost good. A few comments below.

We generally want a empty new line here, and then the upstream URL of
the project.

Also, did you check that this program indeed builds with a minimal
uClibc toolchain (no thread, no wchar, no locale, no nothing) ?

We generally like to have our nice header here, like in all other
packages:

#############################################################
#
# bind
#
#############################################################

Looks good.

Thanks!

Okay, will fix.

Sorry, no, that was sloppy of me.  I will do so for v2 and try to better
specify the package's needs and dependencies.  I'd be happy to try any
configs you'd care to point out...

Thanks for the review, Thomas.

You can try a very minimal build: no thread, no wchar, no locale, no
C++, no nothing. If it builds, you're all set. If your package doesn't
build, then something is missing.

If you don't want to spend too much time building toolchains, you can
use:

 http://autobuild.buildroot.org/toolchains/tarballs/br-arm-basic.tar.bz2
 as an external toolchain that is minimal (no C++, no wchar, no locale,
 no largefile, etc. but it has thread support)

 http://autobuild.buildroot.org/toolchains/tarballs/br-arm-full-nothread.tar.bz2
 as an external that has everything (C++, wchar, locale, largefile,
 etc.), but doesn't has thread support.

If your package builds with both, then normally you should be all set.

And anyway, since those toolchains are the ones used on the
autobuilders, if your package doesn't build in some configuration, it
won't be catched by the autobuilders anyway :-)

Best regards,

Thomas

Thank you for this guidance.  I verified that the package builds with
both of these and found no issues (I did realize it needs MMU, however).
I will do similarly for future package submissions.

v2 with the rest of your feedback addressed on its way.
