Future of Project

Open kylef opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

I am not interested in maintaining this project anymore. I think the problems that I was trying to solve in PathKit should just be solved in the standard library for Swift. Often enough, I think you might just be better off when avoiding the complexity of introducing a dependency for such convience when you can use FileManager from Foundation.

If anyone is actively using PathKit, or wants to maintain it then please let me know in these comments.

It's sad to see one of your projects go. But you have your reasons.

If at any time you'd like to re-take it, count on me to test it on Linux :)

I'm using PathKit in a lot of my projects. I find it a great convenience over FileManager. I agree it would be great to have native support in the standard lib for paths, but who knows when that will happen.

Fair enough if you don't want to maintain this anymore. I'd suggest adding a few of the contributors to the repo. I'm happy to be added as well and would fix anything broken, as I do use it.

I do use PathKit in my static site generator Saga, and have a PR open that adds Codable support. I'd be happy to be added as a contributor as well, and am really hoping that more people get access and can keep on maintaining this project going forward.
