I did not even know that there is a bug tracker! Note that https://bellard.org/tcc/ says very clearly You want to help ? Here are some suggestions: Report bugs to the mailing list (and eventually fix them). which seems to foster mailing-list communication, and that is what was my impression for the many years i am on this list. |I already created some entries for issues, which i like to get fixed |and for features, which i like to get added. |Please do the same. I hate bug trackers. Currently i would not have to add one anyway. |@grischka, what additional things can we do, to help you to make a release? Last time it just suddenly happened. I personally maintain a package for CRUX-Linux (no more in official contrib, but privately, but otherwise the same), and it just works. I mean, v0.9.28 is just another number, right? Currently it is name=tcc version=20240309 gitver=9d2068c6309dc50dfdbbc30a5d6757683d3f884c release=1 source=(https://repo.or.cz/tinycc.git/snapshot/${gitver}.tar.gz) renames=(${name}-${version}.tar.gz) build() { cd tinycc-* ./configure --prefix=/usr sed -i -E 's/^TCCDOCS.*$/TCCDOCS = tcc.1/' Makefile make MAKEFLAGS="${MAKEFLAGS}" && make DESTDIR="${PKG}" install } You do this prodding all the time, and seem to stir bugtracker water that i even never have heard of in all these years, and that contradicts the project sites' "groove". This is stunning since i learned that you contributed to this software over fourteen (14!) years ago already, half a decade or so before i subscribed. Why don't you treat this is a "permanent rolling release" instead for as long as there is no .28, or (heaven!) 1.0. It is only that "tcc --version" is a bit unfortunate in that respect. I am happy to have tcc and that there are some major contributors that bring this project that i use almost every day forward. --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt) _______________________________________________ Tinycc-devel mailing list Tinycc-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tinycc-devel
