Is the project dead? #39

Open nikolay opened 8 years ago

nikolay commented 8 years ago

Sorry for the straight question @PiotrSikora, but I see issues and PRs being neglected for months and years, so, we should know what to plan for. Thanks!

rfnx commented 8 years ago

Exactly what I wanted to ask. 28 days ago I asked the dev to look at a post (https://github.com/FRiCKLE/ngx_cache_purge/pull/35), but he never answered.

rfnx commented 8 years ago

I think we have our answer...

So what do we do ? Maybe start a new project, so we can think about adding new features, like #35 ?

hpatoio commented 8 years ago

+1 for me. Even if I don't have the skills to do it.

rfnx commented 8 years ago

@PiotrSikora But seriously is it so hard to connect on github and answer some questions ?

agentzh commented 8 years ago

@rfnx @PiotrSikora has been very busy AFAIK. I do have permissions to push to this repos though I'm not sure if I'll have enough time to maintain this module given that I already have so many modules myself to maintain :(

rfnx commented 8 years ago

@agentzh Please be serious, some pull request are opened since June, maybe more, and still no answer... It's not just being busy.

33 #35 are very interesting pull requests for example.

Thanks anyway for your reply

agentzh commented 8 years ago

@rfnx Well, I was serious since I had been working in the same office as Piotr in most of the past few years :)

hpatoio commented 8 years ago

I saw this happening on many projects. The author disappear. It's understandable. IMHO @rfnx just merge PRs on you branch so other people can use it and send feedbacks. That will be the new "master". Who knows, maybe one day @PiotrSikora will merge it into the official branch

rfnx commented 8 years ago

Ok but I need to test the PRs cause there are problems with at least #35.

hpatoio commented 8 years ago

@rfnx mantainer's life ! :-)

nikolay commented 8 years ago

BTW, there are a couple "fresher" plugins that do great:

Thanks for closing the cap with Varnish, @wandenberg!

nikolay commented 8 years ago

There's another alternative I found today: https://github.com/pintsized/ledge

Thanks for your work, too, @pintsized!

@PiotrSikora Its been a few years now, could u please confirm if this should be considered dead? Any plans of merging any of the PRs !?

PiotrSikora commented 5 years ago

Yes, it's abandonware (and has been for years). Sorry!

mike-pt commented 5 years ago

Well thanks for confirming or for make it happen and maintaining it while it was possible :)

I wonder if there's any other similar module you would recommend? A few were listed but I'm not sure they work for fastcgi...

archnode commented 5 years ago

There seems to be a fairly recent fork: https://github.com/nginx-modules/ngx_cache_purge

This is used per default in the alpine package for nginx (nginx-mod-http-cache-purge).

daveteu commented 3 years ago

Is this project still maintained?

Possible to update README if this is no longer maintained?

The "production ready" kinda misleading and wasting a lot of time as there seems to be quite a bit of bug with regards to installation and getting this to work.
