Request for maintainer(s)
Discussed in https://github.com/darvid/python-hyperscan/discussions/43
Originally posted by darvid July 24, 2022 I'm struggling with some personal issues right now and probably won't have the time to maintain this package in the near future. If someone is willing to become a maintainer please let me know. Thanks.
seems like no one stepped in, but on the other hand, the project seems to be pretty popular, so if you enable Github Sponsoring on this project, you might get a very surprizing positive outcome (💵 💵 💵 ).
We just saw this issue as we were pointed by https://github.com/VectorCamp/vectorscan/issues/205. If this request is still open, we would be happy to help with maintainership of the package. We are the maintainers of https://github.com/VectorCamp/vectorscan and we have an interest in making it work for vectorscan on all platforms. With the recent Hyperscan license change, this is all the more relevant for us.
@markos yes, thank you for the interest and definitely sounds like you'd be the most equipped to support development of this project. I have slightly more bandwidth now compared to when I made the initial request, so I can probably continue to help in an approval/release/reviews/etc. capacity if it helps reduce the overhead of a complete ownership transfer. any help with features/bugfixes would be appreciated, and I'm still personally interested and motivated in continuing to develop/support the package (, I just have had a lot going on in life recently.
but open to anything, also happy to chat. definitely think it makes sense to add you/the vectorscan maintainers as maintainer of this package, though. and yes given the license change I think it's time to move to vectorscan
Hey @darvid! We couldn't access the repo recently, but we are glad it's back online now. I'm curious what are your plans for the project? Should we expect a migration to Vectorscan?
@ozturkberkay thanks and apologies for the downtime, my account was temporarily suspended for a security alert, but Github staff were able to restore it after the new year holiday thankfully. 😅
and yes the plan is to migrate to vectorscan, I will hopefully have time in the next couple of weeks for a first pass at updating manylinux-hyperscan (the underlying build environment container) and then the build scripts for the extension.
