Hello, everyone. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
It has recently came to my attention that things are quite bad with |
| 4 |
the Sunrise project [1] lately. Most of the developers have left |
| 5 |
the project, and it seems that the contributors have done the same. |
| 6 |
The public reviewed repository has major QA issues and hasn't been |
| 7 |
updated since mid-2015. The last non-developer commit to the private |
| 8 |
repo also seems to come from mid-2015, followed only by a number of |
| 9 |
removals and fixes done by Gentoo developers. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Therefore, I'd like to ask the following question: is it time to |
| 12 |
announce the project dead, or do some developers want to revive it? |
| 13 |
If the former, could someone try to contact last active contributors |
| 14 |
and ask them if they'd like to move their ebuilds to ::gentoo |
| 15 |
via proxy-maint? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I should point out that Sunrise has lost a lot of popularity to |
| 18 |
proxy-maint, then also to GitHub pull requests (and the two combined). |
| 19 |
The developers involved with those provide quite a good review |
| 20 |
workflow, with the extra advantage of getting packages straight |
| 21 |
into ::gentoo. I don't know how many users would be interested |
| 22 |
in keeping them in ::sunrise if they could have them straight |
| 23 |
in ::gentoo with similar (if not less...) effort. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Your thoughts? |
