Mark repository as archived? #83

Closed TomasHubelbauer closed 4 years ago

TomasHubelbauer commented 4 years ago

Hi, it seems this repository is no longer actively maintained. I'm judging this by the fact that the last publish to NPM was three years ago. That's absolutely fine, however, I would like to request that you either mark the repository as archived or add a notice to the README on GitHub and NPM, as that would help people realize immediately. I only noticed after some icons from FA 5 I was using were not available. I have switched to https://github.com/FortAwesome/react-fontawesome which you could point people to as an alternative which is actively maintained.

@TomasHubelbauer yes, archiving is an option which I will consider, though that would mean that there would be no ability for people to submit bugs or PRs. If there was, for example a security vulnerability, I would not be able to easily be notified of it or resolve it.

I do make a pretty clear message at the top of the readme about FA5:

If you are using Font Awesome v5+, please use the official React component!. react-fontawesome does not support FontAwesome v5!

If you think that message could be more clear, please feel free to submit a PR and I will be happy to update it.

That all said, I did neglect to push up some of the latest changes so I have pushed up a new release v1.7.1 that includes some minor changes. Thanks for the reminder that I neglected npm publish 🤦‍♂

Thanks! Honestly I never saw that message due to my banner blindness, but now I think it is clear enough.
