utfcpp copied to clipboard

What is this repo?

Open glebm opened this issue 7 years ago • 4 comments

The sourceforge page links to a different GitHub repo: https://github.com/nemtrif/utfcpp

What is this one? If it's an older mirror, can you please archive it so that others don't get confused?

It's seems it's a private copy. The original code comes from Nemanja Trifunovic which correctly has his home at https://github.com/nemtrif .

This repo actually predates official move to github of Nemanja. Still, it should be clearly stated that this repository is a private copy mirror, as google indexer is putting it as first result of the search "utfcpp", which is bad considering that now the mainstream is also on github.

Best would be to make sure Ledger can build against the main repo, and then to terminate this fork.

Sorry, I dropped a comment here just because of the probably unintended first result search for "utfcpp" in google. Of course it's good if you can quickly migrate your code to upstream utfcpp and close the fork, but if you can't do it straight away for now it would be enough if you demote this repository somehow.

I wonder how to demote it in that sense?
