[line-devel] What did happen to LINE?

[Pat V. <pa...@mo...>]

A while back I subscribed to this list because I thought it was an 
interesting project.  It has long since gone silent.  Granted I've only 
been lurking and not contributing, I was wondering what happened to the 
original developers.  Anyone know?

The original developer got a job a few years back after school and moved
off to work on that. He did say that he wasn't going to be able to work
on LINE any more, and I don't know if he's even still reading this
list anymore. He was the only one actively working on the codebase, and
I don't think anything has happened since May of 2001. The last time I heard
from him was like October of 2001.

Some of the code was picked up and used in the Win32 port of User-Mode-Linux,
mostly the syscall redirector driver. That project is at 
http://umlwin32.sourceforge.net/, but it has also been dead for a long time 
(I haven't heard from him since July or August of 2002)

I'm still lurking :)

I haven't touched the code since May 2001 though.

I have tried to contact the developer on four email addresses, but all 
bounces.

Yep ...
Completely agree..
I've done some changes in Int80 code, but nobody has even reviewed it and
not commited to CVS.

I dislike idea to add one more fork to existing LINE and umlwin32 but it
looks like this is a must.
If somebody would like to share his time or ideas it will nice to bring this
project to life.

If this is possible - I preffer to make CygWin free emulation. (probably
some code can be copied - but this is subject to license research).
Also another goal will be security to allow usage of this library in
multiuser/server enviroment.


What do you think ?

AFAIK SourceForge allows for taking over "dead" projects.

Cygwin is GPL, so no problem copying their code.

If somebody has the time/ideas, I think a better use of their time would be 
to resurrect umlwin32 rather than LINE.

Just my 2 cents, for what it's worth.
