Yep, this is a little annoying. We'll move to Sonatype/Maven Central.

[bobekos]

any news to this?

[DSteve595]

Sorry, I haven't gotten around to it ☹️ JCenter changed their mind and is staying up. We won't do any future releases on JCenter though; next time a release is needed, it'll be on Maven Central.

Any updates @DSteve595? We are eager to switch our project off jcenter because there are issues once in a while accessing dependencies, like today

[DSteve595]

I've been slacking. Apologies again. Working on getting us a Sonatype account.

I saw some other libs using jitpack, was a relatively fast setup.

Any updates on this? We are also trying to move off jCenter.

@DSteve595 ?

[lamrak]

also waiting for migration... No updates here?

I am also waiting for migration... JCenter is deprecated and I am trying to migrate our application from it. This is the last library in the project that is on JCenter. Any updates would be great or at least a timeline of when this could potentially get done.

Thank you in Advance! Mario

@msbouchedid I can suggest changing your JCenter references from

jcenter()

To

jcenter {
    content {
        includeGroup "com.reddit" // https://github.com/reddit/IndicatorFastScroll/issues/45
    }
}

This will mean when Gradle iterates through the repos and downloads libraries it will only look in JCenter for this library. Should save build time and also prevent engineers from adding more JCenter dependencies.

@DSteve595 Can we get some resolution to this ticket? What is the plan and when will the library be moved outside of jcenter?

[ethanwa]

Yes, we need an update to this quickly.

I found this article, I don't know if it can help. Can anyone also fork which will then merge to the main branch?
