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.

Kind regards,
