Sorry to hear that, but I hope that your project thrives over there. Keep in mind that the hosting requirements, however obnoxious may seem, are there to protect you, your users and developers from any copyright issues down the way.

If you ever want to resubmit here feel free to do so.

Alex.

No. It has been submitted somewhere else.

Hi,

Sorry for delay.

Are you still planning to use Savannah?  If not, please tell
us--this will make us gain some time to review other projects.

Any update on this project? It is taking awkwardly too long (already 3 months). If you don't plan to approve it or think it is going to take longer than that, just reject the project and I'll move it somewhere else.

Then please consider the project then without the current cryptodev.h. I'll add a bsd licensed cryptodev.h such as the one attached.

Hello.

I talked with some other guys and we came to the conclusion that your header files are worth to be put under a license.

These Code sniped seem to be part of other packages. You should find out where they came from and under what license they were released.


Or you re-write that part ...


Regards,

Hi, I attached an updated based on your comments. The cryptodev.h license however is left open since the one who wrote this file is unreachable and doesn't reply to e-mails. It does not contain any code, except for definitions, so I don't know whether the it is worth rewriting it.

Hello.

Let's begin with the review process:
Your header file has got information about the copyright of it but not about the license. Please add license information ontop of it, too.

Another point is about your example files. If they are originally from somebody else you have to ask him if and under what license you are allowed to use (and redistribute) his code.
Maybe you and he would like to put in in public domain.
This will make things much easier... (state the license on top of those files, too)


Please provide an updated tarball so we can go on.
Regards and thanks,
    Sebastian
