5 Abandoned project takeover: freepascal - ID: 549024
Last Update: Comment added ( moorman )

Hello,

I am one of the core developers of the Free Pascal
project. (see http://www.freepascal.org)

sourceforge hosts a "freepascal" project
(http://freepascal.sourceforge.net/), which has never
been maintained. The maintainer is not a member of our
development group and doesn't answer to our emails, and
we'd really like to be able to use this project on
sourceforge - we have a growing need for mirrors and
FTP space, for which we would like to use SourceForge.
As it is now, we are unable to use what we think is
rightfully ours, as we have no knowledge of another
Free Pascal project.

Since
I am a registered sourceforge user (login name
mvancanneyt), and I am a member of the Free Pascal core
development team since at least 7 years (see
http://www.frepascal.org/aboutus.html). I am also the
owner of the freepascal.org domain name, so I think I
am the most suitable maintainer for the freepascal
project at sourceforge.

Would it be possible to re-assign the freepascal
project at sourceforge to me ?

Regards,

Michael Van Canneyt.

1.
Free Pascal is a 32 bit pascal compiler. It is available for
different processors (Intel 80386 and compatibles and
Motorola 680x0) and operating systems (Linux, FreeBSD, DOS,
Win32, OS/2, BeOS, SunOS (Solaris), QNX and Classic Amiga).
The language syntax is semantically compatible with TP 7.0
as well as most versions of Delphi (classes, rtti,
exceptions, ansistrings). Furthermore Free Pascal supports
function overloading, operator overloading and other such
features.

2. The compiler comes under the GPL license, the Run-time
library under a LGPL license
