Release for opam package? #6

Open pveber opened 9 years ago

pveber commented 9 years ago

I would like to have nproc in the main opam repository. Would you consider making a release including fixes since 0.5.1?

mjambon commented 9 years ago

I haven't used nproc in a while and I'm already overwhelmed by too many projects. However if you find it useful, you should probably take over its maintenance. If you're up for it, I'd recommend making an official fork first, then delete this one (MyLifeLabs) since there's nobody behind this GitHub organization any longer:

  1. Fork MyLifeLabs/nproc
  2. Edit the README to announce you're the maintainer
  3. Let me delete the MyLifeLabs/nproc repo
  4. Rely on Github for hosting tarballs as described here: https://github.com/mjambon/documents/blob/master/how-to-contribute.md#releases
  5. Make an opam package as described here: https://opam.ocaml.org/doc/Packaging.html (or really just fork https://github.com/ocaml/opam-repository and mimic another simple package)

Hey, I started using Nproc for some of my projects and don't mind maintaining it, so I'll go ahead and create an opam package for it.

You can transfere the ownership of the repository to my username instead of deleting this repo. I already forked it but if you decide to transfere it I can delete my fork (the opam package will work seamlessly since the URL will be the same).

Let me know if you have any additional suggestions.

@rizo Great. I gave you admin rights to MyLifeLabs/nproc which I believe will let you transfer it to your account. Let me know how it goes.

rizo commented 9 years ago

Hey, thanks! I am adding the project to the opam repository (here), as soon as it gets merged I'll make the switch!

pveber commented 8 years ago

Obviously I was not the best candidate for the job: took me half a year to answer your message, sorry about that. Anyway @rizo thanks for publishing nproc to opam!

rizo commented 5 years ago

Hey! I'm thinking about moving my fork of nproc (the one that is published on opam`) to ocaml-cummunity. I think it will benefit from this since I practically haven't made any changes since the release.

@mjambon I think it would be better to either archive this repo or leave a link to the ocaml-community one once I move it. What do you think?

mjambon commented 5 years ago

@rizo I'd rather move the original, which has 3 super old issues and 4 forks including yours. I think only yours may be active. To avoid orphaning the forks, it may be best to move the original to ocaml-community rather than your fork. If this seems like a good idea to you, please submit a request to merge your fork. I'm adding you as a team member so you can take care of the transfer.
