Hi Gilbert,
I worried too. (Thats why I wrote a message about a new release couple of weeks ago)
I think we should release a new version of ethereal on our own.
BUT: I question that this implies to imediatly change to a new cvs server.
Gerald gave me my account on pow for developing Ethereal and
commiting patches into cvs. This is what I ll continue to do.
Of course we should think about what happens next....
...
What we need for the new release is a new homepage. I can offer ethereal.boehm.org
which has been the official mirror for some month (I could also offer hostnames
or subdomains form insecurity.net)
BTW:
I have got webspace too (64kBit at home and aprox. 2 Mbit on a server which
might cease working sooner or later (my former home-ISP allowed me to set up a box
in their LAN without a fee (and it is still there) ) )
BUT: maybe we can find a sponsor for ethereal (I already have one in mind)
To sum up:
I would:
1) Inform Gerald of the steps we will take
2) prepare a release of ethereal with the current CVS server (taging it with a new release tag)
3) release the new version on a new Webserver (I could provide a subdomain and maybe webspace)
4) announce it on freshmeat (with the new address)
5) prepare a new CVS server
6) switch over to the new CVS Server
