Open Letter to the Maintainers - Is This Project Unsupported?

Open b-zurg opened this issue 5 years ago • 7 comments

This is a test,

If this project is no longer maintained or supported then the responsible thing would be to request to remove it from the official electron documentation as an option for those wanting a release server.

Otherwise If @GitbookIO does not feel like they can support this server anymore (which frankly feels obvious from the last commit date) then they should at least offer the option to the community to support it by adding more maintainers.

It may not deal with your request directly, but when it comes to updating some deposits and adding features like https or win32/win64 and other things. Can I offer this folk. It keeps some changes from other people from the PR and some changes from my side. Maybe it can help one.

Yes! Can we get some movement on adding more maintainers?

Today I forked @dobby5's fork to fix a few more things...

  • my fork: https://github.com/teamtopia/nuts
  • the fixed things: https://github.com/teamtopia/nuts/pull/4

Do any of these forks support differential download? #176

FWIW, I also looked seriously into maintaining a fork of Nuts (now archived), though I've come to the conclusion while Nuts worked well in the past, at least for the applications I was responsible for, it resulted in a much simpler to maintain solution to switch to electron-builder https://www.electron.build/auto-update.html

I'm currently maintaining a fork, https://github.com/dopry/pecans. It's actively used for a commercially available electron app. I've updated to typescript and cleaned up a lot of the code. We've got osx arm64 support, working on universal binary support now, have some plans for improving resolution code. I'm on the look out for contributors, in particular I would love help building out a comprehensive integration test suite, and golfing down the code to be more streamlined.
