I will eventually get to that, not sure when... it looks fine from the first sight. > The remaining bundles I know of are: > > Name:libpal > Website: http://geosysin.iict.ch/trac/wiki/Index4extJPAL > Location: src/core/pal > > Comment: > > Martin Dobias did a lot of work on that one in 2009 and he and others continue > to do so.

I would be happy to see new upstream releases with the changes we have done in our fork. However the current situation is quite fine for us because we can do modifications / bugfixes to libpal whenever needed and do not worry about conflicting versions, ABI/API stability and other stuff. Therefore I do not think some moves will happen unless someone starts maintaining upstream libpal. > Name: qextserialport > Name: qtermwidget > Name: nmealib These are quite small libraries and relativle mature ones (i.e. not much development is going on), so bundling them in QGIS sources makes sense. Using them as separate libraries would cause more headache than fun to users and developers.
