Hi, I needed the functionality of the ttylog package for the PIC microprocessor work I do. Sure enough, I found it's woefully unmaintained, no updates since 2002 and a number of serious bug reports listed against it. Well I've updated it and fixed each of the bugs reported against it. I've also renamed it serpipe as my version does nothing but provide a simple way to get data to and from the serial port via pipes, it does no logging for which the ttylog program had some unfinished code in it. serpipe is available at http://petertodd.ca/serpipe/ Regarding these changes I have sent an email to the original maintainer of ttylog. Haven't heard back yet, but it's only been a few hours. ;) In any case I would like to see the mainstream debian ttylog get fixed somehow, either by incorporating my changes into it or creating a new package. serpipe has all the functionality that ttylog currently has and more. I'm also quite willing to become the maintainer of ttylog/serpipe. I have contributed to opensource software in the past, both as an original developer (lucifer, esm, linpyro) and through patches. (pingus, curl, freeciv, (helped my little brother make the Canadian civilization!) picp) Suggestions on where to go from here are greatly appreciated.
