Where is the active home of scalariform?

[RichardBradley]

re the discussion at scala-ide#130

Please could you clarify the following?

• Is this now "the current "considered active" fork" of scalariform?
  • Considered by whom?
  • How might scalariform users know to use this fork instead of mdrs?
• Do you publish a JAR to any public Maven repos?
  • The latest I can find is https://maven-repository.com/artifact/org.scalariform/scalariform_2.10/0.1.4 which was publised by mdr on 2013-04-24
• What is fixed here v.s. the mdr original?
• Do you accept PRs for new features, or just fixes?
• Do you know what mdr thinks about the project?

Thanks,

Rich

• Is this now "the current "considered active" fork" of scalariform?
  • As far as I know, this is the most active branch.
• Considered by whom?
  • I can't speak for others. What I will tell you is that I've received requests to maintain this branch from maintainers of Scala IDE, Ensime, and OSS contributers at Twitter.
• How might scalariform users know to use this fork instead of mdrs?
  • The ideal would be to leave a note in the readme in mdr's fork, or get contributor access to his branch. Short of that, leaving comments in issues redirecting people to this branch would be helpful.
• Do you publish a JAR to any public Maven repos?
  • Yes, see http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Cscalariform
• What is fixed here v.s. the mdr original?
  • See https://github.com/daniel-trinh/scalariform/blob/master/CHANGELOG . The new releases since mdr's last release are 0.1.5 and 0.1.6.
• Do you accept PRs for new features, or just fixes?
  • Fixes are usually simple enough to accept PRs for. For features, it depends on the feature. Opening up a ticket to start a discussion is the best way to get things started.
• Do you know what mdr thinks about the project?
  • I don't know of his exact thoughts, but he has given me the right to publish to org.scalariform in maven central and sonatype. Take what you will from that.

Thanks, that's very helpful.

That would be ideal. I'll comment on mdr#130

For features, it depends on the feature. Opening up a ticket to start a discussion is the best way to get things started.

Thanks, will do.

See https://github.com/daniel-trinh/scalariform/blob/master/CHANGELOG . The new releases since mdr's last release are 0.1.5 and 0.1.6.

Looks like one of my possible PRs is already fixed here -- I have independently added a fix for "SpacesAroundMultiImports" before discovering this fork (sigh).
