The GNA SoftWire projec is not empty, it's just only accessible with CVS.
But there has also been some communication on the mailing list. In just a couple weeks I will start a new dynamic code generation project for my Master's thesis. It will be [insert favorite superlative here] than SoftWire and include every feature ever asked for. It will be open-source but the license might be a little...

Except that project GNA project is (still? yet? already?) empty. Was there some behind-the-schenes communication we should know around?
Otherwise, there's nothing wrong with author's position, it's really the community interest what judges success of open-source project and if community is not interested in even upkeep of software given to it, let it be that way. Nothing wrong, I mean, if...

Bummer :(
Sorry that your new employee cannot see the benefit of keeping softwire open.
Guess we'll have to develop an x86-64 version ourselves! :(.

Wasn't the tutorial out of date? And I know pretty much nothing about legal stuff, but would you be within your rights to distribute it anyway?.

Yes, I have already downloaded a backup of these files as I don't know how long they will stay available once the official download section have been emptied. One thing that is still missing is the tutorial page. I guess I'll be able to salvage it from the google cache or something, in order to provide a complete zip with the sources and the docs.
Thanks.

As a backup I would recommend to use:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/softwire
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sw-shader
Please understand that not much has changed. The projects have been inactive for very long, I just removed the development page. I hope you still appreciate the backups.

Well, the first reason would be that we will not be able to create a "softwire" and "swShader" project on SF.net as the name is already taken by the deprecated project. Unless Nicolas would let us do it of course. I was just naming gna as a possible solution. I have suffered from the quirks of SF.net and Savanah in the past so I moved to gna which is much smaller but very...

Hi Nicolas,
I think softwire is probably stable enough for many people to continue using it even if there isn't any new new developement on it. I have started hacking an equivalent of softwire for the PPC some month ago and one of my goals was to end up merging it with softwire one of those days. Another goal is to make sure that softwire works well with Apple's new developer transition...
