[Tripwire-dev] status of tripwire development

[Dumas P. <du...@ce...>]

Hi,

The files of tripwire in cvs haven't been touched since a long time, and
quite a lot of things have been left unresponded (bugs, patches...). Is 
development still active ?

I have found a site with a patch, from Paul Herman, which, for example
allows compilation with gcc 3.2. I think that this patch should be considered
for addition, or advertised more largely if it is where development takes
place. It took me quite a lot of time to understand that I would find 
something up to date there (after the compilation failed, I had first to 
understand that there was no development on the cvs tree, and then I found 
a message in the development mailing list advertising the patch).

Patrice, you are correct in that the sourceforge site is woefully 
under-maintained.

I have been extremely busy with commerical tripwire responsibilities. 
There is a chance that over the next year I could pass off ownership of 
the project to someone in the community, someone better able to keep 
development fresh.

It's interesting in that only in the last 6 months or so have people 
really started to get interested in the project. It's too bad it didn't 
take off sooner, I think things would be different now if it had.

Until then, Paul Herman's patch is definitely the way to go.

Thanks,
