Hi Lapo,
as the one still maintaining Monotone in Fedora, I would very much
welcome a release!
Ideally, it would at least incorporate the patches that we have here:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/monotone/tree/rawhide , but also
Botan2 and pcre2... if I may wish something :)
Best,
Thomas

Hi all.
monotone is long since not available anymore on FreeBSD and on Debian,
I've been using locally compiled versions (which I have been seldom
reported in this group) for a while now and I wonder… would it make
sense to make a 1.2 release easier to use with modern
compiler/dependencies for anyone?
I'm not up to the task of full maintainership (for lack of time I can
dedicate to the project), but doing a rare release once in a while to
keep stuff from rotting and at least compile I could probably do.
Any interest here?
Would it make sense for a real "release"?
Would we have any objections?
Also: I guess the user-base is small enough that mostly everybody is
capable of building their own binary by themselves anyways, but it
would be nice to have "easier" binaries in repos anyways. Or at the
very least, I'd like to do that in FreeBSD (and Arch AUR).
(I'm not so sure about Debian, me not being a user myself)
(The changelog would in be very clear that it is a purely maintenance
release and not to expect new features or big changes anytime soon.)
cheers,
Lapo
