That web-site is great but it doesn't provide the answer why fresh > e-cos release is on hold. The support model is different now. The commercial group at RedHat who used to do "releases" of eCos was dissolved. eCosCentric has since been formed to provide commercial support for eCos with a product called eCosPro (which is based on periodic snapshots of the publically available CVS tree). You're more than welcome to fund a group of developers to do the work that was involved in doing an eCos "release", but the lack of "releases" isn't really stopping anybody from using or developing eCos. -- Grant Edwards -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
