I don't plan to change my mind on this until/unless I get responses from someone willing to work on maintenance, now and going forward. For example, until/unless someone tries to port GNU Make 4.4 to AmigaOS. The last version of GNU Make that was made to work on AmigaOS was 3.81 (as far as I am aware); that's the one that's been shipping with the AmigaOS dev kits, and no one seems to have minded at all. I doubt anyone has tried to even compile a newer version and I'd be very surprised if it worked.
Re: please keep up supporting AmigaOS
Well, the good news is that you have lots of volunteers to test new versions where you refactor the code to reduce the intrusiveness of the Amiga changes! "Hi, you expressed interest in GNU make continuing to support your OS; here's where you help us reduce the burden of that." :) Philip Guenther On Thu, Nov 3, 2022 at 9:39 AM Paul Smith wrote: > On Thu, 2022-11-03 at 19:06 +0100, Henrik Carlqvist wrote: > > Thank you for joining the group of Amiga users that now are spamming > > all the subscribers of the GNU mailing list. > > It's unfortunate that I asked for responses to the bug-make list > instead of to my private account: I sort of assumed that folks who > built "AmigaOS distributions" (etc.) would send a reply if they wanted > to take on responsibility. > > It appears that this info got posted on one or more Amiga news > aggregators and hence the response from many Amiga users. > > I am replying to these messages privately but we'll just have to live > with the onslaught: these folks don't realize there have already been > many requests. > > Sorry about that! > >

It's unfortunate that I asked for responses to the bug-make list instead of to my private account: I sort of assumed that folks who built "AmigaOS distributions" (etc.) would send a reply if they wanted to take on responsibility. It appears that this info got posted on one or more Amiga news aggregators and hence the response from many Amiga users. I am replying to these messages privately but we'll just have to live with the onslaught: these folks don't realize there have already been many requests. Sorry about that!
Re: please keep up supporting AmigaOS
Thank you for joining the group of Amiga users that now are spamming all the subscribers of the GNU mailing list. May I humbly suggest that any contribution to the GNU Make sources making it work again on Amiga will be rejected until 2 cents have been paid for each of those spams to all Gnu Make mailing list subscribers. regards Henrik On Thu, 3 Nov 2022 17:39:21 + Michael Bergmann wrote: > Sad to hear that plans are to stop supporting AmigaOS.

please keep up supporting AmigaOS
Sad to hear that plans are to stop supporting AmigaOS. The Amiga actually has aHype, not only because of retro gamers, but due to serious developers. You just have to look towards AmigaOS 3.2.1 and ist companion NDK. As long as I can think back, there was allways Amiga support in GNU. As the founder of probablly the biggest Amiga developer group on facebook, I noticed lots of people beeing unhappy with your decission. Please overthink!
