Broca & receptor has been deleted by the original maintainer #211

Open piperun opened 3 years ago

piperun commented 3 years ago

The original maintainer of both broca and receptor have moved their account and subsequently deleted every repo they maintained on their old account (or made them private) and I can't find any form of these projects. Now I'm assuming that @Luminarys isn't the main maintainer of these projects but given that the synapse website links to these tools, what exactly is then the status of these tools in relation to synapse?

that's unfortunate of @sircmpwn to do without notice.

He runs the sourcehut website (somewhat of a competitor to github) so I looked there and found the projects: broca and receptor

It's reassuring that the source at least exists, however, this does present an adaptation challenge for synapse (since I assume most users of headless torrent clients use some form of web gui to manage the client). Perhaps @Luminarys could fork them and cross-fingers there's renewed support for those projects? It seems better than the current state.

@piperun the best multi-platform web-gui i know of is: https://github.com/jesec/flood Since flood supports Transmission, just broca + flood would be sufficient for a very nice GUI ux, but this does assume broca supports synapse's current api

Oh I didn't realize flood supported Transmission now, I thought it was rtorrent only. Broca should still work fine with synapse, what I need to do is create an organization and move all of these projects under it. Well at least for now this issue maintains an index to a reasonable location.

Good to hear from you!

I've also cloned Broca privately, but I won't be publishing (or contributing to it) unless I hear that the link given here dies, I just wanted to ensure the source lived somewhere.

Can we change the link to broca and receptor on the main synapse-bt.org website?
