Howdy!
This is Alex Ameen reporting in from Austin, Texas. I'm a long time GNU
and `autotools' user who specializes in ELF linking and loading. I'm
writing you today to introduce myself and announce that I was recently
approved as the new maintainer of `libtool'!
I'm excited to bring some updates to the tool and want to thank everyone
for their patience while I work my through the pending patch/bug lists
and get familiar with some of the maintenance infrastructure.
In the near future I look forward to extending `libtool' support for
modern ELF shared objects, and improved integration with the rest of
`autotools'. I'll share a more detailed roadmap after I've worked my
through the pending tasks in the mailing lists.
I want to express my appreciation for all of the `autotools' and
`libtool' maintainers/contributors before me. I understand that
`libtool' is an important piece of infrastructure for a number of
important pieces of software, and I aim to treat modifications and
extensions appropriately with that responsibility in mind ( don't worry
I'm not going to break legacy behavior with reckless abandon haha ).
Feel free to reach out if you have pending patches/issues you want to
"bump", ideas for improvements, general advice for a new GNU maintainer
- and above all if you'd like to lend a hand toward getting `libtool' up
and running again.
Thank you for your time,
-Alex Ameen
