- Szpadel 3y agoI didn't mean that those projects are not maintained, rater that there aren't intensive changes anymore. Coreutils: > There have been 26 commits by 3 people in the 29 days since 9.2 Bash looks like didn't has any commit this year yet
- spoiler 3y ago> Bash looks like didn't has any commit this year yet Does anyone know why this is? Is it because doing anything would cause POSIX divergence? Nobody wants to (because it's an "ugh experience")? It's considered effectively complete? Genuinely curious. I don't actually use Bash for my personal shell, thought. I do write bash scripts semi-regularly though.
- knome 3y agoAll of the commits are from Chet Ramey, who the wiki says took over maintenance on bash just shy of 30 years ago. It looks like its busy in the devel branch. https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/log/?h=devel https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/log/?h=devel The last commit from anyone else was Jari Aalto in 2009? Wow. If he's committing on behalf of anyone else, it isn't mentioned in git. The AUTHORS file is mostly Chet Ramey with occasional input from other FSF members.
