Hello developers and users |
2 |
|
3 |
The OpenRC project appears less active these days than it used to be. |
4 |
|
5 |
There are many commits per month the last years, but the amount of |
6 |
commits in 2014 per month has noticeably decreased to a crawl [1]. |
7 |
Alongside that, there appears to be around ~100 bugs open for OpenRC |
8 |
[2] on Gentoo Bugzilla; some of which are left without a response. |
9 |
|
10 |
This gives the impression that the development of it is slowing down. |
11 |
|
12 |
Worth noting is that WilliamH recently had problems with his system, we |
13 |
have since not seen him on IRC for almost a month; so, this can for a |
14 |
part explain the last month of inactivity. Although the other months of |
15 |
2014 and even 2013 to some extent show a decreasing trend. |
16 |
|
17 |
The state and future of the OpenRC project could be of concern. |
18 |
|
19 |
Therefore this call for general awareness; such that people that are |
20 |
interested in this project can help, discuss measures to help the users |
21 |
of these bugs as well as ensure the future of the OpenRC project. |
22 |
|
23 |
Thank you in advance. |
