Re: [edk2-devel] "StdLibPkg" branch on edk2-staging

CC'ing the Tianocore stewards.


I've had problems getting a recent patch committed just to make 
edk2-libc work against current edk2 master.

Tianocore stewards: do we need new or additional maintainers for 
edk2-libc, or is there a plan to deprecate it?


The current maintainers are listed as:

StdLib, StdLibPrivateInternalFiles
W: https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/StdLib
M: Daryl McDaniel <edk2-lists@mc2research.org>
M: Jaben Carsey <jaben.carsey@intel.com>

I myself have used it to port several BSD utilities over, but each time there will little nits with the existing port and even small patches were returned with "no current maintainer"

Other projects (lie https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-staging/tree/CdePkg ) have tried to remedy this, but never with source checked in. But it allows support under PEI, DXE, etc.
