Seriously, AVaRICE has bigger problems but its hosting platform or indentation style (or VCS, in case anyone's asking for Git now ...). Sourceforge hasn't been my decision, I merely inherited the project that way, but for just distributing the software, it doesn't matter much anyway which platform it is lying on. So far, there are *zero* active developers, plus a number of things that require a rewrite of larger portions of the code. Namely, the entire handling of the AtmelICE (and JTAGICE-3 in HID mode, as well as all the embedded debuggers of the various Xplained boards) is just alpha quality, and could be considered flakey at best. This is way more important than stylistic things (as important as they might be to you personally), because it affects the core functionality of the tool for the only existing current Atmel debugging hardware. I don't have the time to do anything on it, sorry. I can probably merge the current patch (which is a trivial one), and I could also be willing to just roll out a new release if needed, but that's it. If there's anyone going to jump in, who wants to *seriously* (and long-term) maintain AVaRICE, it would be their decision where to host the project (or just keep it on SF.net). They are then also free to migrate to the VCS they feel most comfortable with, and to fix stylistic issues. -- cheers, Joerg .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
