Hello,
Sorry for the unresponsiveness :) Of course I'd be glad to have
other people develop & maintain ara, no problem.
I can do a little maintenance but I have no plans for rewriting ara.
So who wants what access on the Alioth account, what do I have to do?
PS. As you know I worked for the EDOS project for 18 months. I started and
Jaap Boender continued libraries for package analysis. I uncovered lots
of shortcomings in ara. Mostly, it doesn't support multiple
architectures.
If someone wants to do a rewrite, I think it might be a good idea to use
the libraries developed for EDOS ("DOSE"). I think I managed to have a
more or less clean API (I rewrote it shortly before leaving the
project)...
