​+ sanskrit-programmers <sanskrit-p...@googlegroups.com> to inform them.​

कालाय तस्मै नमः! Very sad to hear.

​ Such luminaries mostly die out more or less in isolation among us - or atleast they used to - hopefully internet will change things.

I wonder if he published his source code somewhere.​

Namaste Vishvas,

 

I am glad you came across M.R.Rao's subsite in https://sanskritdocuments.org/sites/

He passed away a few years ago (10+?) .

You can see his start with blogging http://satyayugam.blogspot.com/ in 2008

I have linked his old .tar files if they are of any use to you.

There are some tips in https://sanskritdocuments.org/sites/setu/welcome.html

Unfortunately, I did not install them to verify.  Some portions might be old or missing.

No one to contact.

Thanks for sharing/looping-in.

I tried this also. But didn't work. Sector loss in file. Can't be recovered.

I suggested a few luminaries to store their code on github or bitbucket. But sadly they do not understand that their work can live longer than them.

​For general awareness (as to what's out there, closed or open source),​ could you name these gentlemen and their projects?

And about your recent ML project which you advertised here - is it open source somewhere?

That's strange; I didn't see any problem in extracting the tarball (setubin-1.10.tar). It contains the program's binaries and associated files. [I tried it in Linux]

As the page mentions, it depends on a bunch of libraries, including a specific version of berkeley-db and qt. Those tarballs were fine, too (setu-1.00-b.tar.tar and setu-1.00-c.tar.tar).

However, it turns out that (a) The program is compiled for i386, and (b) It depends on a whole lot of other things that the author didn't mention (probably because they were available by default in the Linux version that he noted in a README file - PCQLinux 2005)

I tried installing i386 compatibility packages in my linux, and it loaded all right but exited with a segmentation fault. 

Probably the easiest way to make this usable would be this:

If one of us has a copy of PCQLinux 2005 (CD or DVD), we could create a VM out of it, and run this program in it using the three tars supplied. If it runs fine, the VM can be exported as an appliance for others to use (.ova / .ovf), after trimming down everything else in that Linux system that's not necessary to run this program and shrinking the disk.

I do not have a ready list of projects. 

For my work is available on bitbucket and available for collaboration. I get a month of free time after every project(usually 3/4 months) so become active in that 1 month.

Didn't do advertising, Sir. Wanted to find collaborators. No money inforlved
