Rodrigo,

I'm at the point where I can start looking at the gda-buildserver script
(the book is finally done, and seems like it will go to the printer early
this week - whoohoo!). I was wondering if you could refresh my memory as
to how someone who is writing a server would use the script.  I tried
running it, but it's not clear to me what I should supply for the --o and
-f options. 

Does the script expect that I've already written an implementation?  In
that case, it seems like I'd run it first with --skels and then without,
to compile a skeleton implementation.

Cheers,

P.S. I've been slowly working on converting my gnome-db chapter from an
opaque (ms-word) format to a transparent (docbook) format. It's slow
going, and I'm currently on page 12 of 52. However, I will try to get a
few pages done each night.  It's available as a work-in-progress on
www.jepstone.net/papers/gnome-db/book1.html. When it's done, I am planning
to put it under the GNU documentation license.
