[ECB-list] Opening of ECB-Home on Github

[Ryan W. <wa...@li...>]

All,

I seem to have waited far longer than I intended to send this email out.
I¹ve been waiting for administrative access of the ecb Sourceforge site to
happen (which still has not) and been waiting for some thing to clear up in
my work.

For continued development of ecb, I have created an ecb-home organization at
Github.  This project can be found here:
https://github.com/orgs/ecb-home/dashboard.  This project includes the
latest ecb plus some of my hacks to make it work with Emacs 24.3.  If you¹re
looking to just go install and run it, installing and running it are done in
exactly the same way that this has always been done with ecb.  There are a
couple of small workarounds that are required right now as well:

> (setq stack-trace-on-error t)
> (setq ecb-tip-of-the-day nil)
> 
The code requiring the former needs to be cleaned up.  The pop-up generated
from the lack of the later on my Mac locks Emacs up.  I don¹t know if this
is also the behavior under other platforms.

If you would like to participate in ecb-home as a maintainer, please discuss
it with me out of band of this thread.  I¹m definitely looking for people to
participate.  If you have patches that you¹d simply like to see added,
please feel free to send pull requests.

I look forward to bringing ecb under more active development.

Ryan
