status of libopc project & potential contributions/maintenance ?

[wissem01chiha]

Hi, @freuter , @schroedl , @jschroedl thanks very much for the awesome work, I wanted to ask if the project is still actively maintained, ,since i have some interest in manipulating Open Packaging Convention based structure files, in c/c++, without relaying on Windows Packaging API introduced in Windows 7 , i found limited number of cross platform implantations, including the Go based opc by Quim Muntal, an old blog post on Eric White (could be found here ), introduces the libopc release 0.02 , is this the same source code mentioned i the article ?
in case where this repository will not being maintained in the near future, i would like to create an active fork, (and make some PRs to this repository ) to support modern build systems (cmake, menson, ...), add tests/ docs, and optionally adding some features, cleanups, packaging for different platforms, ...? is this possible ?
Thanks very much

Hi @wissem01chiha - thanks for asking about this. I'm all for the effort to modernize the build pipeline. I did not create the initial setup so I do think it deserves some love. Yes, the source was ported directly from the obsolete CodePlex site when it was shuttered so those references do refer to this library.
