This basically means the repository becomes read-only soon. Thank you for this update and letting us know ahead of time. > Would Yocto community have enthusiasts to fork it and maintain the fork? Yes, I'll volunteer to maintain it going forward. My non-stackoverflow python knowledge is minimal, but I recently dug deeply into bmaptools to solve an issue I had noticed. So I'm confident enough to take it over if nobody else is interested. Best regards, Trevor
