Re: Proxies, opensource and the general market: what's wrong with us?

the fact that you need to direct me to use a CVS snapshot because all the tarballs are too old is a realy good indicator of the problem.

I looked at openfwtk when it was first announced, and at that time it wasn't ready to replace all the parts of fwtk that I use, so I didn't move to it. i've checked back once in a while, but without seeing new releases it hasn't seemed like there was anything new to test.

I would suggest moving to git or similar DVCS so that you can create a fork for developing each new feature and then as each one gets done, merge it in to the main trunk rather than having to either keep development out of the main repository, or have each snapshot get a fairly random state of functionality between all the development.

I think you are right. I guess i should make new snapshots once code passes functional
and regression testing (which in turn needs major improvement).

Exactly how am i expected to get the community?

for one thing, release early, release often

the last release showing up on sourceforge under files is 2.0 in 2007,
with a snapshot release dated Aug 2010 and short of diving into CVS, no
other snapshots appear to be available. From the discussions we've been
having, you have been doing more work on this in the meantime, but you
need to do releases, even if they are small ones, showing progress and
fixes.
