Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

Things to be done.
|
|
|
|
0. Fix the bugs (see BUGS-parport).
|
|
|
|
1. Proper documentation.
|
|
|
|
2. A better lp.c:
|
|
|
|
a) ECP support would be nice. This can only work if both the port and
|
|
the printer support it.
|
|
|
|
b) Handle status readback automatically. IEEE1284 printers can post status
|
|
bits when they have something to say. We should read out and deal
|
|
with (maybe just log) whatever the printer wants to tell the world.
|
|
|
|
3. Support more hardware (eg m68k, Sun bpp).
|
|
|
|
4. A better PLIP (make use of bidirectional/ECP/EPP ports).
