Hi everybody!
as you may know already, flashrom-stable was removed from
review.coreboot.org a while ago. flashrom-stable was a short-
lived semi-fork, based on flashrom v1.2 [1].
The effort to keep developing a stable flash programming tool
for everyone, however, shall continue. I have hence renamed
flashrom-stable to *flashprog*. Now it's definitely a fork.
The main reason for the fork is that I saw the flashrom master
(now main) branch to become unmaintainable. Probably because
we merged too much code together, without actually managing to
work together on a product.
Beside names, I tried to keep everything as usual. There's
a wiki (slowly filled with contents from the old one)
https://flashprog.org/
an IRC channel
#flashprog on libera.chat
and a mailing list, of course
flashprog(a)flashprog.org
managed at
https://mail.sourcearcade.org/postorius/lists/flashprog.flashprog.org/
Review continues on a Gerrit instance, albeit on
https://review.sourcearcade.org/
And you can clone the repository from a GitHub mirror
https://github.com/SourceArcade/flashprog.git
Now that all this is done, I hope to return to work on the
source code again. There are still many patches open that were
pending for flashrom-stable. And it looks like the next release
candidate is only one commit away :)
So stay tuned!
Nico
