MXNet seems to be unmaintained, any (potential) plans for moving forward?

Open oddlama opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

I just noticed that the last commit in MXNet (https://github.com/apache/mxnet) was 6 months ago, and over a year has passed since its latest release. It has already lost compatibility to numpy >= 1.24.0 (https://github.com/apache/mxnet/issues/21165), and there haven't been any responses by maintainers for just as long.

Is this already know to you? Assuming mxnet will not be updated anymore, are there any plans for the future?

We mainly rely on the "record" module in mxnet for image packing and storage. Do you have any other solutions to resolve this conflict?

I don't know, is it possible to extract record module into a folder?

Does insightface use mxnet for inference at all? mxnet only supports cuda < 12, and this is becoming very out of date.

New versions of CMake refuse to build mxnet because it specifies version 2.6.4. Would be great for extracting the "record" module out to stop depending on mxnet.
