Re: Oskit-mach failure with floppy controller disabled

[Roland McGrath]

I can't make any promises.  It's obvious from how little I've done since
the last several times I said I planned to do something, that I am not
doing very much.  Anyway, there is never any reason someone else shouldn't
work on it if they want to.  

As for merging changes upstream, post to oskit-users about that.
I can't speak directly for the Utah folks, but they are friends
and have no interests contrary to ours.  There has been very
little oskit development there for a long time now.  If there
starts to be a high pace of work outside and no time on the Utah
side to keep up, then I think they will be amenable to blessing a
new public home for oskit development.  Anyway, I think the only
barrier now to changes getting merged and new releases getting
made is manpower.  If there is a clean and well-tested patch, they
will be amenable to putting it in when someone has time to do the
physical commits and the release legwork.  I still have access and
expect permission to make known-good changes in the Utah
repository, and can perform release legwork in a pinch.
