[umlbuilder-devel] New maintainer needed

[Roger B. <ro...@ro...>]

I do not have the time to maintain umlbuilder any more
and am seeking someone who wants to take it over.  I
am happy to give up the name if you already have a
project and think umlbuilder is a cooler name.  I will
also happily hand over all copyright to someone else,
which means you can then do anything you want on the
licensing side.

There are around 10 downloads a day, with 150 daily
web page views.  There are several pieces inside that are 
nice.  The CVS head contains an incomplete nicer user 
interface.  It was designed with the idea of also being 
able to change settings after you had the guest up and 
running.

There are also several scripts and other bits inside of
interest, from an Xnest build and installation so
that it looks like the real X server in a guest,
through stuff that will take a bunch of RPMs and create
a file of an ext2 disk containing them expanded, with
the file appropriately sized and several other important
things done.

There is a umlbuilder_miniroot that performs
several useful functions (it has been included with
umlbuilder for a while but not documented).  It includes
a rescue mode, code that will resize and change filesystem
formats, and code to install/create modules and initial
ramdisks.

There is also uml-custom.spec which automatically builds
RPMs of uml kernels (including of kernels 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6).
It also does the downloading of the source, and has various
options to copy existing configurations and similar 
conveniences.

Anyone interested?
