Re: [Lcd4linux-devel] Update plugin_mpd to recent library libmpdclient

[Matt J. <mat...@gm...>]

I posted a patch to this list last September.  Nearly a year ago.
I didn't hear anything back at all, not even a 'no thank you'.

That lack of engagement is quite demotivating.
To suggest not to fork is fine (I agree), but if I have to manually
add my own patch, technically it has forked.

I'm all for simply leaving this project where it is, but for the team
to be more responsive, and/or enable others to take action.

Regards

Matt
