[Queue-announce] Dropping support for GNU Queue

[wernerkrebs <wer...@ya...>]

Dear GNU Queue community,

It has been a great pleasure serving as your
maintainer. It has been a rewarding although very
time-consuming activity.

Recently, I've made the decision more or less to stop
supporting Queue, at least for now, because of job
responsibilities in the real world and lack of time.

A number of non-commercial and commercial packages use
GNU Queue for load-balancing facilities. If you
require support for GNU Queue in connection with these
packages, I suggest you contact the distributors of
these packages for support with GNU Queue.

There are a number of other excellent load-balancing
and process migration packages available that are Open
Source or quasi-Open Source. These include GNQS,
Mosix, Condor, as well as a number of load-balancing
packages available from the San Diego Supercomputer
Center.

If you know of any one interested who might make a
good maintainer for GNU Queue, please let me know.

In the meantime, please check out the discussions on
Sourceforge; there are some members of the community
supporting GNU Queue.
