Hi Folks
This is also not the first time this has happened. A recent example
would be the Cortex-M3 work. If i dug into the email archives i could
find other examples. There is a possibility of it happening again soon
as well. eCosCentric have a more modern lwIP port in there tree than
the current in anoncvs. I understand they have optimized it for small
platform and made it more stable. There is the current effort going on
to update the anoncvs lwip code. When this reaches maturity, which
looks like will happen soon, are eCosCentric going to pull out there
trump card again and contribute there lwip port?
Well well, I almost saw that coming :/
I just wanted to say that I fully agree with your views Andrew. I really
hope the situation can be improved in the future. I think all parties
could win by collaborating more with each other. Most of what can be
improved here unfortunately seems to be in the hands of eCosCentric.
They are the main force behind eCos development, invest lots of man-time
into the project and therefore have quite a bit of authority over
development. Unless the community wants to fork the project and go their
own way, communication between eCosCentric and the community needs to be
improved. Or at least we need a clear statement from eCosCentric towards
what the community can and cannot expect.
