[rancid] Collaborative development for rancid (e.g. git / github)

[Buchan Milne]

Is there a reason why the development of rancid is not done in a more
collaborative fashion?

Having submitted a basic fix, and not knowing what it's future will be,
I checked to see if there is a public VCS repository for rancid. I
searched on github, and found that there were a few repositories created
by users who imported some version of rancid, some with a few commits,
but some with a few hundred:

https://github.com/dotwaffle/rancid-git
https://github.com/reca/rancid
https://github.com/ssinyagin/rancid-ssi
https://github.com/supine/rancid-bzr-git-multihop
https://github.com/jahkeup/rancid3-git
https://github.com/jalmeida/rancid-3.1
https://github.com/codeout/rancid
https://github.com/onlight/rancid

There are also a few git repos on github that just contain additional
scripts for rancid:

https://github.com/JeroenvHeugten/rancid-huawei
https://github.com/b225ccc/rancid-linerate
https://github.com/ajschroeder/rancid


And in other git repos too:
https://bitbucket.org/aquerubin/rancid-vyatta


Wouldn't it make sense to have a public repo for rancid, preferably git,
and if there is no other infrastructure planned, github is probably the
easiest.

I see someone at Facebook has also made a tac_plus repo:
