Re: RFS: synergy-plus (a fork of synergy which is maintained)
Actually upstream tried to takeover the project on sourceforge but it
was rejected by the Synergy author [1].
Until the upstream is not merged with Synergy (*if* that ever happens,
which is a big "if"), I don't think i can just "overwrite" Synergy
with Synergy+ ; and users need Synergy+ now. What do you think?
