Hello! I am currently building libvirt (http://libvirt.org/) for 64-bit Windows. The ultimate goal is to get virt-manager (https://virt-manager.org/) running. Building libvirt requires Sun (now ONC) RPC headers and RPC code generator. Since MinGW doesn't have them i decided to use portablexdr (http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/portablexdr/). Actually this is what Redhat does, they cross-build Windows version of libvirt on Linux machine. portablexdr package as it is currently have some bugs, i had to fix them in order to be able to use it. I tried to post them back to Redhat, but Richard replied that support for portablexdr was stopped because Oracle relicensed original RPC code. So they don't accept patches and don't plan to develop it furtner. However, looks like it's the simplest way to go on Windows, because we anyway don't have any RPC code ported. And i guess porting TI-RPC is more complex task. So i would like to take over portablexdr and contribute the package to MinGW64. The question is - how can i do it ? What do i need in order to be able to upload it ? Also it would be nice to be able to host a repository on MinGW64 sourceforge page, because Richard told me that they don't give away maintainership of their code repositories, and if i want to go on with portablexdr (which is perfectly OK by itself), i'll have to set up my own repository. Could anybody help me with that ? I believe setting up a separate project on sf.net would be too much for that.
