Retirement from CRUX development
Greetings, all. Sad to say but I no longer have the time and the inclination to continue as a CRUX developer. It's been quite an enjoyable project for quite a while but I find lately that time concerns aside, my enjoyment and energy for it are waning. I will likely continue to use CRUX and maintain my personal ports repository but I hope someone can take over my ports in the official repositories. Keep up the good work, CRUX is still my favorite distribution. :) Matt (jaeger@freenode/#crux)

Matt, it's very sad to see you go. Many thanks for your efforts so far as a pillar of the CRUX developement team, and good luck with your future activities, may you find something exciting to work on! :-) Best regards, Simone -- Simone Rota Bergamo, Italy - http://www.varlock.com

Hello Matt,
Sad to say but I no longer have the time and the inclination to continue as a CRUX developer.
It's really sad to hear this from you, and totally unexpected as well.
It's been quite an enjoyable project for quite a while but I find lately that time concerns aside, my enjoyment and energy for it are waning.
I can understand that. At all it's a more or less thankless job to be a CRUX maintainer, and sometimes I ask myself for what and whom I'm doing that. But, yeah, it's a hobby and CRUX is a good thing ...
I will likely continue to use CRUX and maintain my personal ports repository but I hope someone can take over my ports in the official repositories.
I hope that too, you have a lot of important ports. I'll drop some of my own "unimportant" and adopt several, but not all, of yours if nobody else will care. But more important seems to be your work for our ISO stuff, wouldn't it a idea to keep maintaining that?
Keep up the good work, CRUX is still my favorite distribution. :)
Anyway, many thanks for your huge contribution to CRUX over several years, you'll be missed. All the best Jürgen -- Juergen Daubert | mailto:jue@jue.li Korb, Germany | http://jue.li/crux

I am sorry to hear that, but I understand that there are once in a while some more important things in life than computers and their software. ;-)

Thank you for all your work, thank you for all your time you spent with the CRUX community! I wish you good luck for your plans. Clemens PS: I hope I will be able to continue my work on embedded PowerPCs soon and contribute my part to CRUX that way. My focus is clearly on the core and opt ports, but if somebody needs some help, please let me know. There are several spare machines (x86 too) running anyway.

DO NOT WANT. It's sad and shocking to see you go, your leave will hit CRUX quite badly. So, thanks for your huge amount of work over the years. It was fun working with you :) Take care, Tilman -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting.

Thanks, everyone, I appreciate the kind words. I don't do this out of any desire to hurt CRUX, for what that's worth. Matt
