Hi!
Last year I did some research how Windows and Linux tools handle FAT
labels (boot sector vs root directory) and proposed some unification.
More in thread: https://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg2640891.html
My proposed change for manipulating with FAT labels is now implemented
in util-linux v2.33, prepared new mtools version, and also in dosfstools
git (unreleased) https://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg2645732.html
Project dosfstools contains de-facto standard Linux userspace tools for
FAT filesystems (mkfs.fat, fsck.fat, fatlabel) and so it is quite
important because of high usage of FAT.
But there was no new release of dosfstools since Jan 2017 and for more
then month I'm unsuccessfully try to contact maintainer of dosfstools
project (Andreas) about future of project itself.
I do not know what happened, if either Andreas do not have time or
something else...
So does somebody know what is state of dosfstools project?
Also there are lot of proposed changes (with patches) for this project
https://github.com/dosfstools/dosfstools/pulls and also more reported
bugs https://github.com/dosfstools/dosfstools/issues
If Andreas does not have time, can somebody else at least look at pull
requests and do some code review?
I have some other unpublished/unfinished changes for dosfstools, but I
do not know now if it make sense to invest more time in this project
when maintainer does not respond... if this project is active or going
to be dead...
If dosfstools is going to be inactive/dead, there is still mtools
project with provides FAT tools too and maintainer of it is now
preparing new bugfix version. So at least some alternative exists.

If the current dosfstools maintainer is non-responsive, you could always
fork the project in GitHub, land the critical patches into your branch,
and make a release on your own. If the maintainer surfaces again, then
they can pull in your patches. If not, then you are the new maintainer.
Cheers, Andreas

Hi! I really do not want to have another project.

I also recommend talking to package maintainers of major distros.
Maybe one of them forked the project already and did what you plan to do.
In any case, let's try to avoid a drama like util-linux-ng was.

Based on Richard's comment, I'm forwarding my original email (below) to
the Fedora, Suse and Gentoo maintainers.

Hi,
I am downstream maintainer of dosfstools in Fedora/RHEL. My personal opinion
with such kind of projects is that one or two years without activity doesn't
mean the project is dead. I don't know what happened with Andreas, but
in case of no response my +1 for the GitHub fork. I think it's non offensive
solution which can be easily reverted if needed. Please let me know if you do it
thanks & regards

Drama? :-) We had confirmed support from all mainstream distros before
the fork and rename. It was really not ad hoc solution. The project
has been renamed back to util-linux after confirmation from the
original maintainer.
Sometimes fork open source project is a good thing. The another
example is mutt -> mutt-kz -> neomutt ;-)

It seems Andreas is a Debian Developer (like myself), so I used the
debian tooling for 'missing in action' (mia-query) and it seems
he is occationally active (but showing obvious signs of busyness).
I even found his irc nick and found him online. I told him about this
mailing list thread and he replied that he has been extremely busy
with things in his personal life lately and said he should really
try to find some time to catch up with things, but since he hasn't
replied here I thought I'd just let you know about the situation.
Hopefully things calms down for him soon to allow him to catch up.
I hope you find a good way to handle things in the mean time. More
people probably need to help out reviewing incoming issues/PRs and other
things that can help Andreas out with the maintenance burden, but with
his current lack of time it might be better if someone motivated and
capable just forks the project on github and starts doing the
maintenance work in the fork. If things works out well, maybe this gives
Andreas confidence he can safely hand over the official maintainer role
to someone with more time for it (and you can 'unfork' again).
Regards,
Andreas Henriksson

Ok, so it would be great if somebody can help Andreas with reviewing
opened dosfstools pull requests on github...

Rather than fork it could he give someone access as a maintainer to the existing project?

Hi! One more month passed. Do you have some news? Probably when Andreas
can look at pending patches?
And... has somebody else time to look at those pending patches and do
some initial review? I would really appreciate if somebody look and
comment them.
There are 14 open pull requests:

Looking from a side how slow this is being processed I think the best
option to fork and abandon the old project if author / maintainer by
some reason wouldn't like to give a push rights.

I really do not want to create fork or become new "maintainer" of this
project.
If somebody else want to take project or create fork, I can prepare
patches and send them to new place. But still I would like to see code
review of patches from other people. dosfstools is a project which is
used by lot of people and is de-facto standard for FAT32 Linux support.
So breaking something should be prevented as much as possible.
Richard or Andy, if Andreas really do not have time for dosfstools, what
about you to take maintenance of dosfstools?

The golden rule is: touch it, own it.
You touched it, sorry. ;-)
