Hi Mark,
This is great news that you are interested in furthering the development
of dmraid.
Ideally, the current maintainer of dmraid would consider migrating the
maintenance duties to you. As far as I know, Heinz Mauelshagen is the
current maintainer.
Heinz,
If you are following this list it would be good to hear from you.
Phillip Susi has created some dmraid patches that have been awaiting
review for a long while. As such it would be great to have a more
active maintainer for dmraid.
If no response is received from Heinz, then a fork might be the next
best way to proceed. For the util-linux package, the fork was named
util-linux-ng where I think "ng" stood for "next generation". Eventually
the util-linux-ng project took over from the unmaintained util-linux
project to become util-linux once again.
I believe that Karel Zak is the maintainer for util-linux (ng) so he
might have some good advice regarding forking a project.
Regards,
Curtis Gedak
(Maintainer of GParted)

Dear dmraid developers,
Sometime in this mail-list it was said that the program dmraid was in
maintaining mode and not further developed anymore. In the meantime
the dm-developement team has put out new dm-target, which can be used
by the tool.
I would like to fork the latest RC and put on github, to continue
developing the tool. I will give it a slightly new name, so people
will not confuse it with the original. My plan is to add the support
for new dm-targets and also implement more partition tables, starting
with GPT.
I am not really good at generating new names, but here are some ideas.
dmraid-fbmw (forked by Mark-Willem)
dmraid-fu (follow-up)
dmraid-ext (extended version)
So my question which name you think is a good one for the forked?
And who can I connect if I have some questions about the tool.
Greetings,
Mark-Willem Jansen
