Looking for new maintainer
Opened this issue · 6 comments
I am not using NUR directly myself actually for a while, but it seems that many other people do.
For me personally flakes have replaced the schema that I also introduced with NUR.
Therefore, I would like to transfer the project to a new maintainer.
The work is not too much for the most part as most repositories are self-contained.
However there are probably infrastructure and CI that could be improved.
I set the 01.01.2025 as a deadline, if there is no new maintainer found until than, I may archive the project by then.

@Mic92 Hi, I'm learning about Nix and am interested in becoming a maintainer.
@vedantmgoyal9 I looked up and you don't seem to have a nur repository or any other nix-related contributions. What is your motivation for maintaining this repository?
@Mic92 As I said, I'm learning about Nix, and, a few hours ago, I made my first contribution to nixpkgs too. I'm developing a project RustReleaser, which is basically "goreleaser, but for rust", and was looking to support publishing packages to a nur. That's where my Nix journey began, and I'm yet to learn more about it :)
I don't think I'm personally qualified to maintain this project, but I would like to co-maintain with others so I can learn Nix from them. I'm currently maintaining two packages from nixpkgs and contributing to some nix-community projects (mostly regarding the Emacs ecosystem).
I'm planning to use NUR more, so I don't want it to be archived anytime soon. 🤔
I‘m also new to Nix language and I'd be interested to dive deeper and be a co-maintainer of NUR.
