The maintainers don't seem to care much. I submitted a patch almost
three years ago, and never even got a reply to my offer to assist with
maintenance.
This project is crying out to be forked.
Feel free to send me your bug reports. I'm not promising I'll fork
it, but I get the urge occasionally.

Maintainship has recently been taken up by Gary King. If the issue that
your patch addressed is still valid, bringing it up to date, and
resending it may be a good idea.

Me too. I wrote them a unit test to make sure that the toplogical
sort continues to work, in case any changes are made. They paid me no
attention at all. I'm glad to hear there's a new maintainer, and
maybe I can scare up that unit test again and resubmit it.

Good. Hope you're reporting them or submitting patches.

Lord, no, because (to Scot) this hack does not need a fork, it needs a
knife. Between the third and fourth ribs. It is a bad piece of work all
the way through, from interface to functionality to error reporting to
implementation. If an alpha yobbo had not written it it would have been
laughed out of town.
Improve it? Fix it? That means "keep it". No no no no no.
(Cue Marco.)

MK:DEFSYSTEM ? (Yes, I am maintaining it, although I am slow in
responding as well :) the CVS version is probably the most up to date
right now).
Cheers

PS. I ask forgiveness to MK for this post :)

If Kenny had three times as many dollars as he does, less seven, he would have
five dollars. How much money does Kenny have?

9996 less than the 1K prize.

That should of course be 996 or Kenny can offer a 10K prize.
