Is usteer still being maintained?

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration

So I see the repo for usteer here: https://github.com/blogic/usteer. However, I don't see a lot activity on it. Does anyone know if it is still active? I don't want to jump to conclusions but it seems that development has fizzled out a bit. This could be because usteer is simple enough that it doesn't need a lot of maintenance. I also see that DAWN development has slowed down as well but it doesn't look as inactive as usteer.

Edit: It looks like DAWN as also not seen a lot of development activity as there are a bunch of issues and a few pull requests that are all stale.

Sorry - but what are you trying to derive from your question? Somebody certainly knows whether usteer development is active. So Yes.

Occasionally, it helps not taking a question literally that clearly was not meant that way, no?

I just am curious if the original maintainer is still interested in development. Sometimes people get busy and it becomes hard to find time for side projects.

As there is no maintainer it smacks a wee bit as abandonware

Somebody just tries to say that roaming is dead via blurry question between unsubstantiated claims that it is dead.

One can submit a patch or take over maintenance. Like start with silencing network barfs for the simple 2-band access point case.

Respectfully, IMHO the OP was asking a relative simple question in a somewhat indirect fashion. Not answering would have been just as fine as responding to the clearly implied direct question, responding to a question that literally might have been asked but that had an obvious and rather useless answer did not really add to the conversation.

That is sad but I honestly can't blame anyone for getting bored with it. It is a hobby project after all.

Well, since ISC DHCPD is EOL must be all DHCP servers are EOL, especially those not receiving updates in last few months.

I'm not sure I understand what you are talking about. DHCP is critical to the network and is very much still used and needed. I can't see anything replacing it as it has been a part of the internet for a long time.

Was there a question regarding anything else than usteer? I might be missing some important piece of information, care to clue me in?

13

I am completely confused as well. Last time I checked usteer didn't use dhcp.

I guess that was intended as analogy, but the sense of this analogy is too subtle for this barbarian...

Anyway, regarding your question I can offer no useful information, but I lean towards maybe it does what it is supposed to do well enough to not care?

Not being barbaric, absence of KPI ranks does not write off software as unmaintained.
