Project can be found on github [1], build bot on travis-ci [2]. For Yoshfuji Hideaki, first I want to apologize for starting this without notifying you. I though you're not interested anymore, but some people pointed me that you response to emails, only it takes more time. If you're still interested in maintaining iputils, I'm ready to give you full access to github and travis-ci :) For people with difficulties: report them to github issues, to keep track of them. For people with patches: please rebase them against lastest work in git repository and submit them as pull request (this ensure automatic build test). Also please try attach some command to test correctness of your changes. For package maintainers: At moment writing there is RELEASE s20140420 on github, with integrated musl-libc fixes (mostly headers) and most of Debian and Gentoo patches. If you want ensure that quality of code is high enough, read git changelog [3] and travis-ci build history [2] with gcc-4.8 and clang.
