[Savannah-register-public] [task #3975] Submission of UTMP Jeber

[Pawel Wilk]

Follow-up Comment #3, task #3975 (project administration):

Hi,

> I am waiting for an answer from you.

Here it comes. :>

I've  decided  to  host  it at  Savannah  due  to  responses (mainly from 
Slackware and PPC Debian  users) and suggested change  requests  on which  I 
was  often unable  to  react. This was  caused by branching PLD Distro, which 
caused my project  to  be hosted  in two different places (cvs.pld.org.pl  and
cvs.pld-linux.org). Because  I was  more familiar  with "new PLD" my account
at team.pld.org.pl was blocked, so it became unable for me to publish the
changes in the software on the Web (utmp-jeber.pld.org.pl was v-host pointing
to "old" web server). About one month ago  another change has been made and
all the web resources was moved again. All these arise from quarrels and 
misunderstandings between developers. So, watching what is happening in  PLD
I'm assuming that there could be more changes like before, and if I would
like my piece of software to be available for interested people I should move
it; and this is more  important than being  attached to PLD trademark. I have 
enouch reminding  administrators "hey, do the chown siefca:ftp at
/home/ftp/pld/utmp-jeber" or  "hey, I need and accound on the  webserver for
my software". I've decided to host it in a more reliable place.

During the registration at Savannah I was asked whether it  should be part of
the GNU project. I had thought, IMVHO that there is such a need, since I'm
receiving messages from people who like using it.  Other possibilities I can
now see are: to make it a part of psutils package or to make it non-gnu
software. But that is your decision.

BTW, common goals for new release:

* s/int/unsigned int/ at getopt()
* add X-session tracking/validation support
* make it less verbose by default
* write the manual page

Yes,  still.  The  reason  of this  delay  in  response  was
personal (huge mount of tasks  in my daily, properitary work).  It just
wasn't my goal to write quick, unoverthinked response.

Regards,
Pawel
