Unfortunately the owner of Prex has not made any public source control available. I was maintaining a git tree of my changes against 0.8.1, including board ports from others, however there were extensive changes when the 0.9.0 tarball was released. I haven't had the energy to undertake yet another big merge to bring my tree up to date and this list has got rather quiet again. > Also, is it appropriate to post specific porting-related questions > here or should those be in the forum? This list is the best place. The sourceforge forum was even more quiet than this list last I looked. I agree that Prex is a great project, it just needs a live public tree and a review process to get changes accepted in a timely manner to help foster a proper active community of developers.
