Hi, I have just rolled a new Accerciser release. It is basically all included on master since the last release. You can see the details on the announcement I have just send.
Having said so, WARNING, it is a blind release. I took what it was available on master, and checked that compiled with make distcheck, but I didn't test it. I would really really appreciate some testing, hoping to fix anything missing before 3.31.90 (look here [1] for this cycle dates). And hopefully, by 3.31.90 we would have improved the maintainer status. So Alex, is any of you volunteering to co-maintaine accerciser? Samuel perhaps? Ideally we would need the agreement of current maintainer. But as far as I understand your previous email, you didn't get any answer from Javier. Could you confirm that? If we don't get any answer from Javier, the alternative is asking permission at desktop-devel-l...@gnome.org (or perhaps at the foundation list). So, with everything this in mind, how something about this?: * We check if there is any volunteer to step as accerciser maintainer. * We send another email to Javier, perhaps looking for an alternative email address. * We wait a reasonable amount of time (reasonable is subjective, not sure how much to wait). * If we don't get an answer from Javier, we ask permission to co-maintain accerciser to GNOME. Opinions?
