I recently decided to check to see what changes had been made to
uClibc since the 4 year old version we're using in our product. So I
went to https://uclibc.org.
After jumping through hoops because all the SSL certificates are
invalid/expired I see under latest news:
15 May 2012, uClibc 0.9.33.2 Released
uClibc-0.9.33.2 was released today.
Odd... no releases for four years?
Is uClibc abandoned?
I see that buildroot now uses uclibc-ng which, according Wikipedia, is
"a spin-off of uClibc that regularly provides a stable and tested
release, which is more suitable for different software development
processes."
So... processes different than what?

Yes. That was the reason for uClibc-ng.

Hard to tell as the maintainer does not respond anymore.

I am not sure what the wikipedia editor is meaning.
If you have a more clear description, feel free to update ;)
uClibc-ng is a try to revive uClibc. There are not many new features
or hardware platforms supported, as there is a lack of developers
and contributors. I have support for NDS32 architecture in the
queue, but I need to resolve some LTP problems first, to have some
proof that the port is working good.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
best regards
Waldemar
