About the status of my fork (in part repeated from my last post):
Thanks for the detailed explanation.
If we don't wait what comes out with Gabi's code, I'd suggest, to check
out whether Od1n can be build with the vistaio library (I'd do it
within the next week). If this is possible without touching real code, I
would then backport my additions from the mia2-included version, add the
changes Thies did in his version, remove the debian-dir, and send the
needed Od1n patches to him (Hopefully only a bunch of changed includes).
Removing the debian dir is always welcome because it just leads to
confusion with the debian dir that is maintained by the Debian developer.
I'd call the library vistaio to make clear that it is stripped down and
use CMake instead of autotools, because, (A) I need to build a MS
Windows version outside cygwin/mingw, and (B) current cmake-cvs which
will eventually become cmake 2.6 will have a deb-package generator:
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:CPackPackageGenerators#DEB_.28UNIX_only.29
If cmake is able to build static and dynamic library it is fine. If this
is not possible we Debian people have finally to deal with it - if this is
the price to merge two forks we might pay it. It might be a good idea to
keep the automake stuff stored anywhere which would allow us to add it as
a patch for the Debian package afterwards and leaves us free to ignore
cmake.
Opinions?
I'd say go for it. Once this is accomplished we could turn back to
Gabi's version and see what she thinks.
Kind regards
Andreas.
PS: Does anybody know Gabi's e-mail address and can keep her informed?
