i dont have the answer you are hoping for, Tomasz; but i would like to point out a few things about this message Tomasz Kłoczko wrote: > On Tue, 5 Mar 2019 at 19:00, Eric Blake <eblake@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> The problem, as always, is a lack of free time. > > So no one else want to continue autoconf maintenance and or no one can > do thsi by other reasons?? eric did not imply that he did not want to continue autoconf is a GNU project - that means anyone can, and is encouraged, to contribute Tomasz Kłoczko wrote: > you need change the people" is that a volunteer offer? do you have more free time than eric? great - please do contribute, or perhaps recommend someone who can free software, like any volunteer work, is not an obligation of any volunteer; nor is it an entitlement of any beneficiary such as software users - it is a labor of love, and a dialog between developers and users - if some project is not getting as much love as is needs, it is incumbent upon it's users every bit as much as it's developers to give it some love, or find someone who can in this case, the only flaw you mentioned is that tests are failing; but is there any functionality that is broken? - that would be a much more critical concern - have you reported any bugs regrading essential functionality that you need but are broken? - perhaps it is only the tests are broken Tomasz Kłoczko wrote: > In current situation even if something still is not finished it wold > be better to release what is now in git. that would not be better - a standard development tool like this needs to be stable, versioned, well documented, etc; otherwise you can not expect that anyone who receives your source code will be able to build it, unless they resort to using what would be an experimental pre-release build tool - most would not consider that better; but a last-resort compromise of course, a broken build tool is not great either; but is it broken? - that would be the important thing to discuss
