Dead links can happen and can be fixed by those who are lamenting about the broken links. But indeed, I also won the impression that it's wanted to discourage people to make forks. "The community" seem to be a few heads who seem to prefer to blame people for mistakes and then never forgive a single mistake and the next will be wining about to less developers and about nobody contributing. But the real community is larger than just LAU and LAD and ALSA and some people who are not welcome here, are welcome on other lists. Mailing lists can be found here: http://www.muse-sequencer.org/index.php/Muse_ml If somebody should dislike the outdated link/s and knows the good links, then why doesn't this person fix the link/s? In theory I would be willing to do it, but I won't do it, because I don't want to make a mistake. It's much too precarious and in addition I'm not aware about all the broken links. When the links are fixed, than this fork would be ok for the community or would there still be one and another issue? _Again_ I don't want to discuss this, but help to solve it. Links can be fixed. Other issues perhaps can be solved too, even if somebody should have done something wrong in the first place, like not reading the correct README.

As a result he removes his fork from github. There is clear hostility against him, when reading all the mails. Sure, now it is misinterpretation of the content of all those mails. You the OP, Fons, didn't contact him, but started with reproaches [1]. Now that the fork is dead, it's unfair to claim there never was hostility. Btw. not all mails are hostile against him, but terrifying many mails. [1] "Hello all, It has come to my attention that there are ATM at least two 'forks' of Aeolus. The first by the MuseScore team, the second by one Maurizio Gavioli. Neither of them even had the decency to let me know of their work, and both are taking Aeolus in a direction I do not approve of. Gavioli has even added his 'copyright' to the sources of the libraries that Aeolus depends on but which are not part of its source distribution. Apparently the intention is to release incompatible versions of those as well. If this is typical for the attitude taken by the Linux Audio community then my motivation to contribute to it will take a serious blow. As announced previously, there will be a fully reworked release of Aeolus next year (on the occasion of its 10th birthday). Apart from major improvements to the audio code it will be completely OSC controlled. None of this will be compatible with the forks of course, they'll find themselves instantly obsolete. And I will make sure that this sort of thing won't happen again, even if that means a more restrictive license. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
