Hi,
In a couple of recent posts to the netsurf-users mailing list, and notes from
ticket master Vincent, it's been noted there's no RISC OS maintainer at
present in particular.
Is there a definition somewhere of what's involved?
For example: If it's responding to port specific tickets within ~2 weeks and
maybe fixing 1 bug-a-month then that's probably background enough for one
person to handle. If it involves writing lots of new code then that clearly
needs a much bigger commitment. ie. it's maintenance in the car sense of
"keeping something running that already runs".
After some invaluable hand holding from Rob Kendrick (I failed to locate the
instructions to set up a VM to build for RISC OS) I went ahead and wrote
patches for
http://bugs.netsurf-browser.org/mantis/view.php?id=2266
http://bugs.netsurf-browser.org/mantis/view.php?id=2170
http://bugs.netsurf-browser.org/mantis/view.php?id=2336
http://bugs.netsurf-browser.org/mantis/view.php?id=2289
but they presumably need reviewing. I know from a day job in engineering not
to review my own code!
Sprow.
