The current home of neard is: > > git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/nfc/neard.git I guess none of us have problem of too much spare time :), so it took me a while before I looked at neard. With newer Gcc, neard did not even compile (which I am fixing now). I set up a fork: https://github.com/krzk/neard However I can give early disclaimer - playing with GLib userspace code is not something I am in long term interested. If this was written in Rust, would be different story. :) I also configured basic CI (or rather continuous building): https://github.com/krzk/neard/actions/runs/1014641944 However I still do not have proper testing setup. No hardware. Would be nice if Samsung. ST, NXP or Intel could spare some development board with the NFC chip supported by kernel. Till then, I will try the NFC simulator and virtual NCI drivers. My next plan for neard is to extend the CI. There is no way I (or anyone else I believe) can keep good quality of releases without automated checks. I'll add some more distros, clang and later many some linters or cppcheck. Best regards, Krzysztof
