A couple of reasons.
It takes time to prep a public release. Review the sources, comment them, check formatting, add docs, legalese, build instructions, etc. I really don't like publishing stuff that's not in a proper order.
Second is that a public release needs to be maintained and this complicates our own workflow. We can, in theory, do a release and then abandon it, but it doesn't seem like a right thing to do.
- stallmanite 7y agoFirst of all, great piece of software thanks for sharing it. Secondly re: releasing then abandoning some subset of code being “not the right thing”, I would submit that as a user I’d much prefer abandoned code than unreleased code. Please consider just slapping a disclaimer on it and releasing it.
