Hello Violet!
This sounds awesome! I am the original developer of this whole thing. I
have actually been pondering exactly this move for a couple of months,
but I'm happy you beat me to it. I saw that you already have made great
progress on GitHub like adding CI and a nice web page.
I think this is precisely the injection gerbv needs by starting a more
open development and accepting changes easier and more broadly. When I
stopped working on gerbv git was a glimpse in the eye of Linus Torvalds.
But with all the infrastructure with GitHub et al hopefully makes it
easier to run this project.
Considering all the tools available today there are probably many and
great ways to improve the code base. For instance, I took pride in
running valgrind now and then to avoid memory leaks. But as soon as I
left a bunch of Python developers rewrote a lot of code because "it
looked bad" and "didn't like the code" and thus created a lot of memory
leaks.
But baby steps... I think this is a great step to at least being able to
start accepting and incorporating all the patches that floats around out
there.
Best regards,
/Stefan

Hi everybody,
I’m an avid user of gerbv and have also integrated libgerbv into my
workflow. Unfortunately, as others on this mailing list have notices,
the development of this project has stalled.
I therefore decided to create a gerbv GitHub organization [1] and
invite all interested parties to join. CI based on GitHub Actions is
already running and binaries for Ubuntu, Fedora and Windows are
published on https://gerbv.github.io/ <https://gerbv.github.io/>
My next steps will be to apply bug fixes from SourceForge and the
Mailing list, which I can verify myself. My hope is to revive this
project and have pull requests from other developers.
This is a friendly fork and I invite everybody, especially the
original developers to join :-)
Kind regards
