Hi,
My efforts tailed off a bit once I had a package that seemed to build
from source correctly but didn't actually work (some function was
returning 0 that wasn't expected at run time). I've been rather busy
with work lately and haven't had a chance to touch it since, but I'll
definitely be picking this one up again in a week or two.
I've not looked at license issues yet and I'm slightly concerned about
long term support for older releases of weave - this needs to be
checked with upstream and/or the server side components packaging also
before it is suitable to be included in a release.
I'm not sure if you're a DD/DM, would you be interested in
co-maintaining this with the mozilla extensions team?
Thanks,
Alan
