[Palm-db-tools-list] State of pilot-db, palm-db-tools and offer to help

[Leigh S. <le...@le...>]

Hello,

I have been using pilot-db and palm-db-tools for several years. I  
notice that both lists seem now to be very quiet.

Is pilot-db dead and the developers have moved on to other platforms  
and no longer use the application and the corresponding flatfile  
tools? Alternatively, is everyone happy with the current performance  
of the package?

There did not seem to be a match of V0.3.6 in the CVS repository for  
palm-db-tools, which was released the middle of 2003. Is there a  
newer up-to-date repository for palm-db-tools than that at palm-db- 
tools.cvs.sourceforge.net?

I have updated the palm-db-tools to compile with g++ V4.0.1 and have  
attached the patches. I also notice bug reports reported by Robby  
Stephenson in 11/2003 have not yet been incorporated into the CVS  
repository. I am prepared to do the maintenance work needed to  
continue support for the palm-db-tools. Despite JPilot being a great  
tool, working with CSV files is also worthwhile for interchange with  
SQL databases. I have managed a number of sourceforge.net projects  
under leighsmith at users.sourceforge.net if anyone can grant me  
developer status on palm-db-tools (or point me to where the current  
effort is being directed) so I can commit the changes myself.
