From b4c0d5849cc3d13b965f10bd3cd12f430683f9a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ralf Becher Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 18:45:47 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Record that upstream has been unmaintained since 2021 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The fork notice said what this fork changed but not why it exists as a fork rather than a branch. Upstream's last commit is 2021-12-29; the pull requests open against it go back to 2020, and two of them are directly relevant — one proposes the same .NET Core migration this fork carried out, and one bumps log4net for the advisory this repository has already patched. Worth stating explicitly because the repository page says "14 commits behind tech-software/TDSProxy:master", which reads as a backlog and is not one: that is upstream's entire history, counted as missing because the squashed history here shares no merge base with it. GitHub would report the same number if the two trees were identical.
