Hello fellow Grip users.
Hope everyone is having a good Christmas. :-)

I have been thinking for some months now about forking Grip. Mainly in orde=
r to ensure it's still usable and included in the various distributions, as=
 it is my prefered cd ripper.
The last release was in june 25, 2005, and it show all the signs of being a=
bandoned. No development, no answering of bug repports. At least I didn't s=
ee it.
I have been thinking for a few years that unless someone steps up and try t=
o continue it's development, it might one day be to much work to package it=
 and it would be dropped by th various distributions. I know that debian dr=
opped it in 2009..

Today I made the big step and forked it. The code is in a git repo at Sourc=
eforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/grip2/
The new projectname is grip2. I tried getting in touch with the old develop=
er, Mike Oliphant, without success. I was hoping to use the old project to =
push releases.
So here is grip2. :-)

I am not a programmer, so at least currently it is not much I can do with r=
egards to the coding. But I can implement small and obvious changes, check =
and apply patches that come in, and so on.

If you have patches that should be implemented, join the development team o=
r open a ticket at the new SF-project.
I have applied the Mageia patches, and one from Arch linux, and is in the p=
roccess of chekcing and applying the Debian patches.

There is also a new mailinglist at the new project page.
