Xymon development inquiry

Hi,

speaking for myself, I must admit that I haven't worked on Xymon for several years. Just lurking on the mailing list occasionally.

J.C.Cleaver was maintaining the 4.3.30 version and I was working on the 4.4 branch, but both efforts have stalled - mine certainly has.

A Git repo would undoubtedly make it easier for people to contribute than the current Sourceforge CVS repository, so if the is an interest in maintaining or even developing Xymon further, then that would be a very good first step.

About the state of the various branches, 4.3 is certainly the production version - this should be priority #1 when moving to Git. The 4.4 branch is - as Roland mentions - very unfinished and alpha-like. It was an attempt on my part to move all of the networking code into a library with support for both IPv4 and IPv6 - quite a bit of it was working, but it was not completed or even stress-tested. It is certainly not bug-free.

I cannot offer to restart Xymon development by myself, but I will be happy to assist anyone with getting the code moved from Sourceforge to a Git repo - if you need any special access to Sourceforge.

Regards,
Henrik
