Dear Fabian, dear Will, dear everyone, As you have doubtless noticed, I don't have much time to deal with Polipo -- CPC and Babel take all my available hacking time. I've been looking for a new maintainer for four years now, with no success.
If anyone is thinking about taking over Polipo, please create a new repository, and start working on getting a stable 1.1.0; if after a few months it's looking good, I'll be glad, nay, delighted to give up maintainership. The head branch is believed to be superior in all ways to 1.0.4, except for one show-stopper bug: the local configuration interface is broken. Fixing that should not be too difficult. When hacking at Polipo, please recall that: - Polipo is under a non-copyleft licence; - Polipo is portable to Linux, BSD Unix (including Mac OS X) and System V (Solaris) out of the box; there's partial Windows support (both Cygwin, Mingw32 and VC++), but it's not considered a sin to break Windows; - except for MD5, I've refrained from including any code that I don't fully understand; in particular, that means I'm not using the GNU autotools; - Polipo is lightweight -- it runs fine on OpenWRT machines with 16MB of core and no swap. -- Juliusz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
