I certainly don't have any objections, and I wasn't aware there were anywhere near that many choices. Can you PM me a list? FWIW, thats the first real update published since back in 2002, so I had to re-adjust my disklist and dumptypes to achieve an amanda version of a tarball to get that. I didn't figure the rest of the crowd needed to put up with a 500 meg backup of my configs and indices. Keeping ahead of tar was a bit of an exercise over the years, so this brings it up to at least the tar in the wheezy repo. And the tar in the pi's jessie repo seems to work. But a rock64 running stretch is crashed by it. Since the rock64 isn't doing anything for me yet, I haven't tried to snoop that out yet. A rock64 is a nice board, several times faster than the pi's, but support for anything like an rt kernel just isn't there, plus rebuilding the pi3b's spi driver to run on the rock64 is quite beyond my "pay grade". Without that its useless to me as I can't run cnc machinery with it. Pick a repo, and move it to it, and of course let me know. Oh, and what are the names of these other projects?
