yeah, using the 0.2 stable release iirc :)
how to get it:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@hackdaworld.dyndns.org:/hdw-linux co 
hdw-linux-0.3-dev
we have cvs web now:
http://www.hackdaworld.dyndns.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/hdw-linux/hdw-linux-0.3-dev/

changelog is uptodate!
there are not much changes to the core scripts. the only thing i hacked 
into hdw is the build of a repository called toolchain before even going 
to base. toolchain category is added in the targets include files for 
that. we are now no longer building "static" the first round. the prefix 
for first round (toolchain and base, default still "static") maybe 
chosen in Config. Buid-Distro symlinks the hdw_build_dir/prefix to 
/prefix so we can easily build linking dynamically and doing the chroot 
in stage 2 without problems. i dont remember that good, but you can 
easily find out by the diff's which cvsweb can generate for you if you 
dont want to use cvs for that.
the reason/advantages of building a toolchain (and building dynamically):
- no ugly glibc <= 2.2.x hack needed anymore.
- as there are no "native" builds anymore, crossbuilds should get easier 
(well, at least i thought that!)

it is ugly, and i pretty much like the idea of hacking version 1.0 of 
hdw from scratch! :)

i dont believe in the developers file. actually it's just you and me who 
is developing...

maybe that's an advantage concerning the "from scratch" implementation :)
