- Is MH still in active development? The reason I ask, you see, is that
- when I recently compiled MH on my SVR4 system, I noticed a great deal
- of problems with MH and ANSI C systems. I had to make more
- modifications to the code than I'm accustomed to making to compile
- things on this system. Now, if the MH maintainers are going to
- release another version of MH, I'd be happy to send my changes to them
- (if they haven't already got a similar set). But from what I've seen,
- it looks like most of MH was written a long time ago and hasn't been
- touched since. (I get much the same impression when looking at the
- MMDF source code, but that's another issue.) And so if the
- maintainers aren't planning on updating MH, then I won't bother
- delocalizing my changes and sending them off, since they'll just fall
- into the bit bucket or be ignored.
-
- So, is MH still being maintained? Is a new release planned anytime
- soon? And, if such a new release is being planned, could one of the
- maintainers contact me by e-mail and let me know if SVR4 patches for
- MH are wanted?
