[Build-common-hackers] a WAF class for CDBS

[Rémi Thebault]

Hi Jonas

Thanks for prompt answer and encouragements !

I already subscribed to the list.

I'd be glad to commit through git by myself, but I can't get it to work.
I committed successfully on my local copy, but I can't push to the
server.
Must I register somewhere on PTS to be able to use git+ssh ? Where can I
get ID and passwd (if relevant) ?


Regards
Rémi
