Is this project dead?
Opened this issue · 17 comments
Hello! I love what you've built here and want to help maintain it. I see multiple folks have offered to help maintain but I've noticed you haven't been active in years ( #134 ). I hope all is well. I have a growing concern that this project won't receive any more attention and will eventually become useless. That would be a shame!
What do you need? Would you like to completely transfer ownership to someone else? What can I do to help?
I haven't used this in a long time. I guess a good place to start would be to compile a TODO list of updates needed?
Sounds good! Thank you for the quick response.
I'm at work now but I'll take a look later today. I imagine upgrading dependencies and supported ruby versions would be at the top of the list.
Ok awesome. Thanks!
Alrighty here are some notes. I'm not attached to any of them, so of course feel free to prune as desired. 😄
Proposed Tasks
- upgrade runtime dependencies (see "Upgrades" below)
- extend rspec and ruby compatibility (see "Compatibility" below)
- review pull requests; respond, then work toward a resolution
- triage reported issues; respond, then add label(s) or close
- add Dependabot to keep dependencies current
- communicate project status (and roadmap?) in README
Upgrades
- rest-client 2.0.2
- rack-test 1.1.0
Compatibility
- rspec 3.8
- ruby 2.5
- ruby 2.6
Potential Additional Tasks
- pin activesupport version?
- pin rack version?
- rails version compatibility?
Ok upgrades and compatibility seems like a good first step. Do you want to open a PR for those?
You bet! I'll get on it
Thanks!
What should we do next?
Maybe Dependabot? I've used in multiple projects and am very satisfied with it. They support .gemspec files though I've not tried it with one before. Happy to dive in there. Going for the low-hanging fruit first. 😄
I don't have access to add that. @brooklynDev can you add it to this repo?
Do you want to try and work through the issues and PR's?
Sure! I'll give it a go.
Thanks!
@mycargus What is next?
@sethpollack hullo! I'll tackle some more PRs/issues this week, hopefully tonight. Thanks for the new releases!
rspec 3.10?
