That site was created by the company embedded projects GmbH, which was managed by Benedikt Sauter of USBprog. Nowadays he appears to focus on his new company Xentral ERP Software GmbH.

Re: [OpenOCD-devel] New release?
Hi @OpenOCD developers, I really like the initiative from Mr. Liviu Ionescu: > For a few releases per year I can handle the multi-platform binary > distribution, > as I already did. I provide 32/64 Windows, 32/64 Linux, and macOS binaries. I think it would be great to make these binaries downloadable from the official OpenOCD website. Talking about distributing the binaries, what's actually the "official website"? I'm a bit puzzled, because I found two websites: 1. http://openocd.org/ Looks very basic. I think a nicer website would be great (just my personal opinion). 2. http://openocd.net This website is apparently offline for the moment. I remember it was a very good-looking website. You can visit a snapshot through http://web.archive.org. Looking at the (snapshot of) this website, it looks like it belonged to "Hochschule Augsburg".

In practical terms, the maintenance overhead is minimal, we only need to add a new branch to the repository (like 'develop') and enforce that all contributions go that branch. >From time to time someone with a good project understanding should evaluate >the changes and decide whether they are bug fixes, enhancements or >incompatible changes, and increase the version number accordingly; then merge >the commits to the master branch and inform the world on the new release (via >Twitter, for example).

Releases for both Windows and Linux (and why not MacOS) would be great. for a few releases per year I can handle the multi-platform binary distribution, as I already did. I provide 32/64 Windows, 32/64 Linux, and macOS binaries. for more generality I anyway plan to move all binary tools I maintain (arm/risc-v toolchains, openocd, qemu, make, etc) outside the GNU MCU Eclipse project, and rename them like xPack OpenOCD, xPack QEMU, etc; all of them will be available as portable archives, that can be installed manually or via the portable tool 'xpm' (the xPack Package Manager - https://www.npmjs.com/package/xpm). regards, Liviu p.s. for the Linux package maintainers that may ask 'why a new package manager', xPacks are by design not only portable, but multi-version, which means it is possible to install several different versions of the same package at the same time, and allow each project to use the version it needs, via a list of dependencies that are automatically satisfied by 'xpm'. very simple and convenient, including in CI environments. ___ OpenOCD-devel mailing list OpenOCD-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openocd-devel
Re: [OpenOCD-devel] New release?
Hi, I agree with Mr. Ionescu and Mr. McDowell. A few releases per year would be great. Also, the project should no longer carry the experimental 0 number. It's a mature and popular software. Please don't forget the Windows users. Releases for both Windows and Linux (and why not MacOS) would be great. Will the release be downloadable from http://openocd.org/? Shouldn't the website become a more professional https domain instead of plain http?

I also think that the project is mature enough to go past the experimental 0 major number (according to https://semver.org, which is a proposal that for me makes a lot of sense). regards, Liviu ___ OpenOCD-devel mailing list OpenOCD-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openocd-devel ___ OpenOCD-devel mailing list OpenOCD-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openocd-devel
