Dead Project?
pontaoski opened this issue ยท 4 comments
I haven't seen any activity from maintainers in about a month, nor any prior announcement of a hiatus. This is just a check to see if any maintainers are still existent before I fork this project; if there are any maintainers still here to take care of it, I won't establish a fork project.
quote the plugin page ( https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/brewery.3082/ ) :
"Currently the support for this Plugin is very minimal. It is in a very mature stage where everything should work as expected. Any issues arising with the use of this Plugin may considerably be solved using the Wiki, or the help of existing discussion.
Still, feel free to drop a comment on the Discussion Tab! Suggestions and bug reports are also welcome on GitHub.
If you have found a bug you may want to create a ticket or a pull request. You can also pm me for critical bugs."
if i remember somewhere i read in the tickets that the devs are very busy with other things, are are basically only maintaining this for bugs, and new minecraft versions when needed. and not much in terms of updates/feature additions.
it is provided under a GPL-3.0 license though, so you are welcome to make a fork project (weather or not this one is still receiving support) to implement your own ideas/update this as long as you abide by the GPL-3.0 terms.
Wow has it been a whole month?
Dude, relax. A 6month old, a year old+ since last update MIGHT be something you can swoop in on and fork due to abandonment.. This is not that, so relax. Also, FYI - a project can sit far longer than the dates and that does not make it "abandoned" or on hiatus or left for dead, it simply means there were no updates pushed out. Maybe because no issues to fix, nothing new needed to be added, maybe a tough issue to resolve with no resolution or the solution is known but MC broke the way a fix was possible, it doesn't mean it's dead. And even more annoying, posts like yours, which, although I stepped in, would normally have wasted the devs time answering just to say, "yeah, I'm here - bug off already" instead of actually doing something he/she wants to do!
Shoo now, and leave people be.
Er, I'm going by time since last communication, not by time of last release. A month since the last time anyone saw a person without any indication that they're on holiday or something else is the norm in OSS for assuming someone is non-responsive (especially if they don't respond to something like this after a few weeks).
Either way, due to that nobody's seen the maintainers for a month and they haven't responded to this, the fork was done.
