TDE Devs, I hesitate to send this to a do-ocracy when I don't have the time to do it myself but I think this warrants a ping. I rate myself as a software engineer with an excellent track record in (proprietary) database managers, AI, and systems software. I've designed software, lead software teams, and picked up other's failing projects and literally worked and slept in my office to ship on time. But I would never have thought that what Tim did was possible. The solo fork and improvement of TDE was a massive undertaking in which Tim succeeded brilliantly. Whether or not Tim ever touches TDE again I have an enormous respect for his courage, talent, and achievement. But now others have taken up the mantle. The original TDE infrastructure has been broken in various ways for a long time. The stable mirrors have been unable to update for eight months. The trinitydesktop.org domain expires in March and there is no guarantee that the original TDE infrastucture will continue to stumble along even that long. TDE 14.0.7 is currently in PSB. Waiting for 14.0.8 might be too late. I would like to see TDE 14.0.7, either when it goes stable or soon thereafter, on community-managed infrastructure. --Mike --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-devel-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-devel-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-devel.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
