What kind of confusion. uClibc-ng frontpage clearly states it is a spin-off of uClibc. > - pissing off Bernhard May be I am already pissed off by him? In the past I send a patch for mips64 n64 with no answer. After a ping a month later it got applied. A bug report about broken sparc support never got a response. Public mails of the buildroot project missing a release got ignored. A private mail from me to Eric and Bernhard, response from Eric that he is no longer involved, no answer from Bernhard. So the selective answers of Bernhard are a problem, at least for me. > - duplicating existing infrastructure instead of gaining access to it I asked Bernhard if he wants to give up maintainership. > - what if you end up in the same situation as uClibc, we all have busy lives? So what is the situation of uClibc? The problem is lack of communication. I would be fine if Bernhard would answer any mails regarding non-technical issues with uClibc. A short mail "I am busy, no release this year." would be at least a fair statement. Or "I am very busy, having a new job, can someone make a release?" > Thomas and I talked to Khem Raj about this uClibc situation during ELC > back in June, and Khem offered some help to see if we could: > > - make Bernhard aware of the lack of release situation > - use his uclibc.org access to facilitate a 0.9.34? release Nothing happened. Should I whine another year on the mailinglist about a new release?
