Hmmm, this could also be a great opportunity: Why not nominate someone as the official maintainer of the 1.6 stable branch? Someone who collects or back-ports fixes and smaller enhancements to the 1.6 branch, and does minor releases based on community feedback?
Yes, please! Udo, are you volunteering? ;)
Thanks for the confidence in me, but actually, I would prefer not to.
I already don't have enough spare time to keep up with my existing projects. And I wanted to focus on moving towards 1.7.x, which is not feature-complete from my point of view now.
This doesn't mean that I wouldn't help out in keeping 1.6.x up to date. But I simply cannot promise to have the necessary time.
1.6.x stable should be maintained by someone who really uses it in the future, to keep an eye on stability, and who has at least the time to keep tings from stalling for months.
Well, I am not keen on doing this, but to get some progress I at least did upload my git tree based on vdr-1.6.0-2 version of git://vdr.gekrumbel.de/vdr.git to github:
http://github.com/zzam/vdr/tree/stable git://github.com/zzam/vdr.git Branch "stable"
It contains up to now only my three patches I already posted in this thread.
