Hi,

any idea who is currently maintaining the ipaddr.rb library code?

The file header says it was Hajimu UMEMOTO, but the library seems to not  
have been touched since 2002, maybe Hajimu is not working on it anymore.

There are a few flaws and shortcomings, functions are missing, and maybe  
some security issues.

regards  
Hadmut D.

I haven’t seen him for a while.

Can you report it to the ruby-core mailing list at  
[removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid)?  
We can work on it.

You have to subscribe it before posting. Send a mail with the body  
“subscribe Your N.” to [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid).

Hi,

I think (preferably) ruby-core, or here ruby-talk is the right place to  
discuss on what you’ve mentioned. You don’t even need to specify  
the responsible person. It would be ok only to tell problems,  
suggestions, or patches.

Many ears hear you, and someone (not me) can help you.
