I have three patches I had to apply each time I build a Win64 version of
Gerbv for colleagues.
You will receive three pull request
thank you for the initiative

thank you very much for developing gerbv, it’s utility cannot be overstated!

that’s a relief! Creating a fork is sometimes seen as a hostile action,
but this is definitively not the case here.
I couldn’t find your GitHub handle, but I’d be happy to invite you into
the gerbv GitHub organization.

this is actually one of my medium-term goals :-) first I want to get the
code to compile with -Werror and then get the tests running again / add
new tests for patches.

looking forward to a new future for gerbv!

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/
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
