No active developers

[mkoeppe]

LiDIA was developed 1994-2004 at TU Darmstadt.

There are no active developers. The LiDIA development pages at TU Darmstadt have disappeared.

The purpose of this GitHub repository is to preserve the code, as it is currently in use as an optional library for the LattE integrale project. Only minimal maintenance to support newer compilers has been done.

Thanks for letting me know, and for preserving the code. I will likely attempt this extension, perhaps in a fork of this repository. I'd be happy to eventually merge down the line if things go well.

@mkoeppe can we somehow fix the license here to actually be GPL (GPL2+?). I understand that the authors (and probably copyright holders) have agreed to such a change. Unfortunately that mailing list post is gone now. Do you happen to have a copy for future reference?

Unfortunately I don't have a copy.

Here are some pointers.

Actually the SVN server mentioned in this groups post still works!

[mkoeppe]

The COPYING file in svn trunk indicates GPL v2 or later.
Let's convert the SVN to git to preserve the whole project history.

[mkoeppe]

I tried converting it using subgit, but the result is messy because the SVN layout of tags and branches changed in release 2.3. (See below.)
Instead, I have only picked the two commits that were made post 2.3 on "trunk".
They implement the license change. Merged in 19281f8.

Great, thank you. Then I'll try to package this for conda-forge.
