[lcd4linux] LCD4Linux state (Was: Update plugin_mpd to recent library libmpdclient)

[Michael R. <mi...@re...>]

Hi all,

sorry for replying late, I've been offline due to business journey for a few days...

first, LCD4Linux is not dead, it's just in a kind of C6 state, or deep sleep, or..

the reason is simple and sad: I am still extremely busy with my real-life job, getting up every day at around 3 o'clock 
in the morning, working at least for 12 hours, even on weekends.

What we could really need is a Co-maintainer, at least for answering mails and integrating patches. Write access to the 
repository should be no problem (as Sam aka Maxime already wrote)

Anyway, i feel very sorry for disappointing some or all of you. I will try to find some spare time in the future, do do 
at least the most important tasks.

unfortunately I lost some emails in the last months (ya know, SSDs are the hell fast, but not as reliable as I expected 
them to be). So if there are important patches that haven't been integrated 8or will be integrated in the next days) 
please resend them.

I will go to my mail archive, and integrate all patches that I can find. After that, i will create a new release (this 
time really!)

for this specific MPD problem, what is the problem (or better: the solution)?


kind regards, Michael
