DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN MOVED | New maintainer of the html2text project #91

Open Alir3z4 opened 10 years ago

Alir3z4 commented 10 years ago

Hey,

tl;dr: https://github.com/Alir3z4/html2text

It's been almost 3 years since the the last release, version 3.02. As myself, I use this package on some projects and it works perfectly.

Recently I found out the author is not alive anymore(sadly), and there're couple of really helpful pull-request waiting for review and get merged into master. Although we can fork the repo and use it on our own but the original package on the pypi would remains untouched and eventually will be outdated.

Currently I'm the maintainer of html2text on the pypi: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/html2text

I bumped the version number to 2014.4.5 and did a release. No changes has been made on the original code(mainly to not introduce conflicts with current pull-requests and unmerged patches), I only did:

Also I merged some changes from @mcepl fork because they were look good. It would be great to see others send their patches to my repo where I'll keep the latest changes:

https://github.com/Alir3z4/html2text

I'll try to do code review as much as I can, but I hope to get some help from @mcepl and others who are already familiar with the code base and its concept.

Thanks, Alireza Savand

How did you manage to take over Aaron’s PyPI account?

Alir3z4 commented 10 years ago

@mcepl I didn't take over anybody's account, I'm just the maintainer of it. @aaronsw is still the owner of the account and the package.

mcepl commented 10 years ago

Do you know by chance whether there is any progress in resolving his inheritance? (http://www.aaronsw.com/2002/continuity)

Alir3z4 commented 10 years ago

Huh, I didn't know about something like that. I just read it. Might be a good idea to contact Sean?

mcepl commented 10 years ago

You’ve got mail (I hope).

mcepl commented 10 years ago

I think the best solution is to have https://github.com/html2text/html2text and work on working on pull reuqests (and tickets) there. What do you think?
