  • First public release.

xsysguard was originally developped by Sascha Wessel (sawe), but nowadays the project is not maintained and the code is no longer compilable. The dependencies and their API evolved a lot during the 6 years from the last release in 2008. This repository is a Git clone of the original SVN one in version r841, which is readonly for everyone except the original author. The attempt to contact him was unsuccessful - no response. The aim is to make xsysguard compilable and runnable again.
