Hello @churchers!

I am a huge fan of vm-bhyve, and greatly appreciate the work you've done to build and maintain this.

From what I can see, it appears that there hasn't been any updates or maintenance of this repo for a couple of years.

I am happy to help contribute my time to reviewing and testing PR's and issues if that would be helpful. I'll shoot you an email to your posted address as well as this gh issue.

Again, thank you for this tool, it is quite helpful!

for a couple of years.

Latest update is from three months ago, and 8 months ago before that. So it's not entirely dead but it's definitely on the brink of it. The FreeBSD packages however, especially vm-bhyve-devel get fairly frequent updates so I guess a different repo or platform is used for that..

Funny enough the freshports page still just points to this repo..

I was looking at the freshports page, and it looksl ike the recent commits are actually in the ports tree, not specifically in this repo - but I could be misreading them.

Perhaps @driesmp or @bapt could provide some information on this?

antranigv commented 1 month ago

Well, to be fair, vm-bhyve is kind of complete, so there's not much work to do, other than fixing bugs.

driesmp commented 1 month ago

vm-bhyve-devel is just tracking the latest commit to this repo, while the normal version, vm-bhyve is tracking the releases.

Hi @antranigv I guess I was going off the PR's stacking up without any responses. Core being feature complete is great, but it doesn't seem like anyone is actively maintaining which is what prompted my question!
