[Lxr-dev] Status of this project?

[Paul S. <ps...@ne...>]

Hi all;

Is anyone actively working on this project?  I see some commits went in
in January, but there are a lot of bug reports that aren't being managed
(many duplicate bugs and no one seems to be closing them) and a number
of the bugs being reported are already fixed in CVS, but there's no
release available, or comments about when a release might become
available.  There are also a few patches that look like they (or the
ideas they implement) could be helpful.

I have done some work in my local version which has a big performance
increase for my source tree, using swish-e (it won't help everyone's
environment: it really helps with handling non-text files).

I've also found a few other issues, like not all my header files are
getting hyperlinked properly.

Before I go too much farther with enhancements/fixes I'd like to have an
idea on the status of LXR; is it still viable?  Are there thoughts about
a new release (even just a 0.9.5, not 1.0)?  Is there a need/desire for
new developers on the team?  Or, is everyone just using their own
customized version and they're happy with that?

Should I start looking more seriously at alternatives such as OpenGrok,
etc.?


Cheers!
