OS/2 maintainer?

[Paul Smedley <pa...@despamsmedley.id.au>]

Hi Guys,

Wondering if there is anyone still actively maintaining the OS/2 
source code in APR?

I've been building Apache2 using the libc runtime for OS/2 from 
http://svn.netlabs.org/klibc for some time, and it would be nice to 
get my changes incorporated with the OS2 files in the apr repository.

My current apr diff (which needs tidying up) is at 
http://smedley.info/apr-1.3.3.diff

-- 
Cheers,

Paul.

A ticket is a good way to track so that it isn't completely forgotten in
case it falls out of everyones in-box, but I would suggest starting by
posting separate patches to the mailing list, each of which solve one type
of problem.  We can review those better in the short term and the resulting
version control history will also be more useful.

Absolutely - some of this is commented out whilst I was testing things
- needs a good cleanup before I'd even dare ask you guys to commit it 
:)

I assume that once I have a diff based on current SVN - I open a 
ticket requesting it to be committed?

I don't anticipate any big concerns to the idea of continuing to host the
OS/2 port.  Folks, please shout now if you disagree.

A few things I noticed in the patch from a very quick glance (probably
exactly what you referred to as "tidying up"):

* non-standard coding style (whitespace, slash-slash comments)
* magic values (e.g., "87")
* commented out code

http://www.ecomstation.com - an OEM distro of OS/2 - running on Intel 
Quad core (with all 4 cores utilised) here.

OS/2 itself isn't maintained anymore, is it?  Is it getting hard to find
hardware that it'll run on?
