Re: Adding gtkparasite to gtk?

[Christian Hammond <chipx86 chipx86 com>]

Hi,

That's a fine goal and all, but I must ask why people haven't sent us these patches and worked around our repository? We're not dead, just the tool's been working fine for our needs and we haven't seen any activity or support around it.

It would have been much appreciated to be contacted before assuming maintainership of the project. We weren't intending to relinquish that just yet, and would like to discuss it with people before that were to happen.

Thanks,

Christian

I've cleaned up, fixed some more crashers and pushed gtkparasite into
git.gnome.org so that it can get all our shared love.

Please push any features and bug fixes you might have on your personal
trees there. Hopefully this will put an end to all the forks going
forward and make it easier to find.

I don't think it makes sense for it to go into gtk+'s source tree at
this point anymore given the near future developments[1] and also
because I'm not sure it could go in due to the MIT like license it
uses.

Finally I'd like to say thank you to the original authors (in CC).
