Package: ftp.debian.org
Followup-For: Bug #935057

Hi,

I just noticed removal of 'afl' from testing, because it was removed from
unstable, but I find this removal a bit quick in jumping to conclussions
that afl is unmaintained.

There was a release just few days ago, and the project is hosted in more
open manner than before on github (previously it was maintained by one
person, and without any real source control system accessible to public,
which also did affect me, as I did send patches to original author, and
they were never responded to or merged):

GitHub shows plenty of pull requests and merged code in recent days:

Version 2.53b correctly build with clang / llvm 8.0.

In fact it also does build with clang 9 too.

And even before that there were patches to do so with 2.52b (
https://github.com/vanhauser-thc/afl-patches ).

2.52c released month ago, also does support llvm / clang++ from 3.8 to up
to including 8. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/afl-users/jHPw2LvbE0A



It is more a question to maintainer of afl package.

I wish the package was back in Debian, as I did find it pretty useful for
my work, and less manually compiled packages the better. :)

Thank you,
Witold
