You are correct though, through attribution and not hi-jacking. I hope if he reads this he will not think this is abandonment but progression and a good thing. You yourself Jeffrey have done a mammoth amount in the library as well helping many people. I imagine the main thing is the keep the community healthy and moving forwards where it upgrades, accepts patches etc. My only worry (apart from offending) is the "eyes on" for all patches. In that I think I would be happy to get a CI set up to check commits against any known vectors etc. if we can identify enough of them. Probably with the addition of a more thorough test suite and coverage analysis. It would be terrible if anything leaked info or worse if the library did accept patches easier. The commit access would have to be very well managed I would imagine. -- David Irvine twitter: @metaquestions blog: http://metaquestions.me -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "Crypto++ Users" Google Group.
