Hi, I decided to make completely new repositories, dropping the old history. It would make the local git repositories larger without having a real value. Also, I can use the opportunity to kick out some legacy stuff. I hardly had to move to earlier versions of the code, and in the very few cases I could do this manually.
But I plan to write a bit more informative log-messages from now on ;) Burkhard ________________________________________ From: IOhannes m zmoelnig <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2022 9:21:39 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Gmerlin-general] Project status On 2/15/22 23:11, Plaum, Burkhard wrote: > Hi, > > maybe it is time to tell about the status of the gmerlin project. thanks for that! > Current TODO items include: > > - Move everything to https://github.com/bplaum. gavl, gmerlin-avdecoder and > gmerlin-encoders are already there.

(and for finding the origin of regressions, bugs and fixes, a full history makes wonders) > - Possibly make a release. :-) > Unfortunately there is not much, where others can help except really > boring things like Doxygen-comments of the libraries. no thanks, i'm not going to volunteer here... :-P gfmasdr IOhannes _______________________________________________ Gmerlin-general mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gmerlin-general
