You've received this mail because you are the author of the jfs
translator for GNU/Hurd. As you might know, there is a repository
where we put software that was developed for GNU/Hurd but is not
included in the Hurd source code :
<http://sv.gnu.org/projects/hurdextras/>. I think PITH should be
added to that repository so that other hackers can see and modify
the code. Are you OK with this ?
Manuel, we love you! :) And I know you meant jfs and not pith in
this email ;)
Yes, sorry, I should've re-read once more. ;-)
Feel free to use the code in any way that would benefit the
community. While we are at it, you should also be aware that this
translator was done as an academic project, at a time both John and I
were very wet behind the ears - it just did not turn into the shape
it should have basically because our lack of skills. And we did not
have any kind of "bandwidth" after leaving college to continue work
on this. Hopefully things should change for the better now.
Nevertheless, it really works well in read-only. I think it might be
made a bit faster, but that's it.
The hurdextras policy is that patches should only be committed with
the author's agreement, if they are still interested in reviewing
patches. Are you still interested in reviewing patches for jfs ? We
could add you as a project member and notify you when patches
against jfs are submitted.
Neither of us have a Hurd running at the moment, so we can't test.
And we had not been able to follow the developments in the past
couple of years so I am probably not even qualified to review your
patch - I must add that it looks quite okay, however. Feel free to
add jfs translator to the repository. With appropriate patches, of
course :) You can choose to maintain this if you wish to. John is
also okay with this, we just talked.
OK. If someone submit patches, I'll take care of them for now.
Thanks a lot for your interest in this. Let us allow a little time
to think if we would be able to join you in the project as we have to
set up machines, find time, learn things, etc. I would love to.
No problem! Let us know as soon as you want to join again. If you need
access to Hurd boxes, please see
http://hurd.gnufans.org/bin/view/Hurd/PublicHurdBoxen or ask me for an
account.
Emails have changed since, please note.
Yeah, don't worry, my MUA remembers emails. ;-)
I'll check in jfs with this patch applied tonight. Thanks a lot!
