Moreover as ygrek said, his version accumulates lots of bugfixes meant to be integrated into the official branch for a long time already, that could not make it because the original author did not answer at all. > > The need of a fork arises from what is mentionned before, mostly the original author being unreachable and the changes accumulating too much to be kept as separate patches. > > As for changing the name, I would personally not do it since it is a rightful continuation of the ocurl project (and is backward compatible). I’m suggesting to wait for the original ocurl author to reappear to see if we can finally merge the changes. > > Cheers, > > Vincent I have no problem with this fork, or the name remaining the same. I have not used OCaml in a long time and people more active than me probably are better at taking care of it at this point. Lars Nilsson
