I just noticed on the wiki that it says mmr.pl is deprecated because its "it is too buggy and has no maintainer"
There is no dedicated source code repo for it. There is no place to file bugs/tickets against it. There is no one to fix the bugs/tickets.
I'm just curious if there is a punch list of the bugs I might be willing to tackle them if so.
Not that I know of, just various emails/irc messages over the years.
Ive always found it to be a useful tool and I prefer not to click my mouse a hundred times when a command line script could do the job. I'm not saying I would definitely be willing to become the maintainer on a long term basis because I have too many project on my plate as it is, just that I would be willing to take some time to do any updates and bug fixes as I have time and possibly be willing to act as an temporary maintainer for a brief period of time. The code is fairly strait forward and at the least I could make the option parsing a lot more robust and the error messages far more helpful. The coding style is outdated and could use probably prototyping on the subroutines. Further more it might be useful to accept a config file and or environment variables for some of the information for example I hate putting passwords on the command line. I can also see that there are a lot more options that would be nice to be able to tune. but if there is a bug list I would be happy to spend some time on it and see how many I could run through in a short period of time. A quick search of bugzilla.redhat.com didn't seam to show any thing as far as I could tell
It would probably be easiest to make a github repo for mmr.pl and use that for tracking changes, bugs/tickets, documentation.
