This is my first port, and it's a work in progress.  For more information about 
Rockbox:

http://www.rockbox.org/

This port builds the Rockbox Utility, which will install on your mp3 player an 
open source firmware.  I have only tested this app on my iPod nano 1st gen on 
an amd64.  I cannot guarantee it will work with anything else.  Please test.  

For a list of mp3 players this app will work with, please refer to the site 
above.

This first stab at the port has some current issues:

1) I need help understanding the license, so I can properly set the license
   flags

2) the port is made off a moving tree, so I need to know what to do to 
   create a stable distfile; I wasn't sure how big of a file I could 
   e-mail to this list.

3) please check my Makefile for errors or better ways of doing things; 
   this is my first attempt at this

4) not sure what version to put on this thing

Things that are broken in the app:

1) no progress bar shows up for uninstall even though the firmware 
   uninstalled correctly

2) theme site comes up and down; hoping the app maintainers will fix this

3) app's Makefile will break on a gmake install, so their docs suggest
   a gmake install_target, which works; I just coded up a do-install with
   an install to /usr/local/bin because I wasn't sure how to have make 
   fake and make install change install to install_target.  

I'm not asking at this time for port submission or approvals.  I know more work 
is needed on this port, but I'm reaching the point, where I just need others to 
look at it. 

Tell me what you think.

Thanks,

Brian
