Has had 6 commits in the last two years. From the same person. 2.1.0 was released 6 years ago, the latest 2.1.3 release came out two years ago. Releases are available from some random FTP server.
On one hand this could be software that is completely done and requires no more maintenance. On the other hand it could be another random half-baked GNU project with a single champion who has lost interest but is still saddled with a purist/terrible new contributor onboarding experience dooms it to an inevitable grave.
You can be the judge of that.
- rekado 6y ago"Random FTP server"? You mean the GNU FTP server?
- orf 6y agoYou speak of that like it’s some bastion of software delivery. You mean THE gnu ftp server?? It’s a random FTP server. Could be sourceforge for it all it matters. Doesn’t even support SFTP.
- rekado 6y agoIf you look closely you'll see that ftp.gnu.org is an HTTP server. But it seems that you just want to troll.
- orf 6y agoAnd if you look closer you’ll see that it’s a FTP server with a HTTP interface (http, not https, by default mind you). ftp://ftp.gnu.org/
- mcosta 6y agoThe link is http, https also works. Even if it is only http, so what? PGP signatures exists too.

- spicybright 6y agoAny server is a random FTP server, what's your point? You can't trust any of them, only those who run it to a certain degree. The GNU project has been around since 84 and has always tried to maintain solid open source software vetted by real people. What do you trust instead?
