Hi! First of all, I'd like to introduce myself: My name is Philipp Trommler, I'm from Germany and my employer is Preh Car Connect GmbH. Part of my job is working with newlib, especially when it comes to time and clocks, which is why I'm writing this mail. In our products we need to provide support for quite a long time, thus the year 2038 problem is relevant for us right now. And from what I can see in your online git frontend, newlib is still affected by this problem. I've searched your mailing list archive and stumbled upon two threads that mention the problem. The first one [1] is quite up-to-date but received no responses, the second one [2] got some productive feedback but is nearly 8 years old. My impression is that you're in principle interested in having a fix for the problem but you didn't have the resources to do it until now. If this impression is right, I'd gladly provide a fix but I'll need some advice from developers more experienced in newlib. So here are my questions: 1. Are you interested in a fix for the problem? If yes, what are the steps that are necessary from your point of view? What are your preferences for a possible implementation? 2. Sadly I'm unable to check out your latest code locally, as cloning the git repository via HTTP (the git protocol is no option in our company's network, sorry) fails with some "Unable to get pack index..." and "Unable to get pack file..." errors. Is this just me or is something wrong with your git server? Regards Philipp [1] https://sourceware.org/ml/newlib/2016/msg01061.html [2] https://sourceware.org/ml/newlib/2009/msg00911.html
