Because he got roundly chewed out here and was essentially told to go away by at least two high-profile commiters, and Erik never stepped up to defend him, so he took his ball and went home? Now we're noticing that it was, in fact, a nice ball. > does he have a public/private repository ? git ? mercurial ? svn ? He has a private repository of some kind. I spoke to him about it a year or so back but can't find it in my back email (might have been on irc). Recently he mentioned the number of commits in it, which is what brought it back to mind. Mostly what I see is when I bring up a question he sends me a patch fixing whatever it was from his repository... > This would look less like a fork this way, no ? I think it's undeniably a fork, because he was checking everything in and was told to stop. He didn't create the fork, he was merging everything he did into mainline. That' show he got in trouble: Manuel and shjhill created the fork by telling him to stop merging last year. They thought he was merging too much. > Of course, one could argue that a project on hiatus is about to fork > anyway sooner or later... /me pleads the fifth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiny_C_Compiler > My preference would be to see the people in charge back in the > decision process.

No flaming please :) I'm not flaming anybody, I'm just pointing out some interesting statistics.
