Dear DDD users,
I have to announce that I can no longer maintain GNU DDD - the Data
Display Debugger frontend to GDB. My current job as a professor no
longer leaves me enough time to maintain the DDD code base;
furthermore, my current research tends to make interactive debuggers
like DDD obsolete in the long run. Nonetheless, writing and
maintaining DDD has been big big fun, and I deeply regret not being
able to contribute anymore.
I am willing, though, to help anyone out who is willing to maintain
DDD in the future. Right now, this task simply means to maintain the
CVS archive, to keep DDD up-to-date with recent GCC and GDB versions,
and to make a new release from time to time. Eventually, as a
maintainer, you will also have to judge and apply patches send in from
other users. Overall, the task should not take you more than 2 hours
a week (with occasional peaks when a release is near).
If you'd like to maintain GNU DDD in the future, just let me know;
Please Cc: your mail to the GNU maintainers <maintainers@gnu.org> such
that they know whether to search for a new maintainer or not. I am
confident that we'll find a long and steady future for DDD; feel free
to contribute as you can.
Have fun with DDD,
Andreas Zeller
