[MINC-development] Current release of MINC? New one needed I think...

[Andrew Janke]

Hi Sean,

I'm all for it. A number of people have changes in the current git
tree that should be in a mainline release. Problem is that in the last
year or so I've had far less spare time for MINC maintenance than I
used to.

So, if others are keen to take over the main release of MINC now might
be a good time to hand over the reins of this, I have asked Vladimir
about this already but didn't get a response. I've been looking after
things for a number of years now and it's probably time to move on!

I'll still be around and will contribute code and documentation and
will help whoever volunteers to take over the main release duties for
the 2.2 release. There are a few nuances around libtool versioning
that should be adhered to for the upstream builds on
debian/Ubuntu/Neurodebian/etc.
