Clemens and Patrick, help is always welcome, as in any free software project. You can check README-release.txt file in gerbv source, and the main problem (for me) is Win build with installer. Ask for gerbv git and sf.net permissions in On Sun, Feb 12, 2017 at 2:58 PM, Clemens Koller <clemens...@gmx.net> wrote: > Hello, Patrick, Sergey! > > On 2017-02-10 15:25, Patrick Franken wrote: >> As I stated during FOSDEM I’d be interested in helping on a new Gerbv >> release. > > I've seen that one video as well... 8-) > >> As I’m quite new in this project, where should we start such a discussion? You can check README-release.txt file in gerbv source, and the main problem (for me) is Win build with installer. Plus contact last translators (it is only me at current time) from po/*.po and ask them to update translation. Ask for gerbv git and sf.net permissions in geda-u...@delorie.com mail list. > Here?

About what old stuff we are speaking here? -- gerbv-beta is just a build for Win with current fixes, as it is not trivial to build GTK application for Win. -- gerbv-2.6.1 is a last official release. >>> I'll retest when I get a chance to rebuild it... >>> Maybe a better approach is: release early, release often?
