The `uname -s` value for Dragonfly as per config.guess:
*:DragonFly:*:*)
echo ${UNAME_MACHINE}-unknown-dragonfly`echo ${UNAME_RELEASE}|sed -e
's/[-(].*//'`
exit ;;
As it is today, the script would skip the input-joystick driver for this
OS. That's the confusion I am trying to clear, with the reviewers help.
Looking at this driver's configuration, it should work on Dragonfly. As
for the GNU hybrids, the value returned by `uname -m` is "GNU/*" so I
can use that to cover those cases. That would complete the list with
today's best current knowledge. Some maintenance in the future is
unavoidable but should be reasonable.
Thanks
