Why is the originally no longer development version newer than the fork of it? #106

Closed Golddouble closed 3 years ago

As I do not know, how Github really works, I am confused about this:

Here it is said, that the originally opensnitch program is no longer supported: https://www.linuxuprising.com/2020/03/opensnitch-linux-application-firewall.html

But there would be a fork, which can be found here: https://github.com/gustavo-iniguez-goya/opensnitch

So my expectation was, that there will not be any new version on ... https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch/releases .... but on ... https://github.com/gustavo-iniguez-goya/opensnitch/releases

But what I found was, that the latest version on ... https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch/releases ... is newer than on ... https://github.com/gustavo-iniguez-goya/opensnitch/releases

Isn't this a contradiction?

Just a question of interest. Thank you.

Yes, there's a bit of confussion. The original repo was abandoned, and I kept adding changes on this repo for 1 year more or less.

However, now that I have write access to the original repo, we can continue the development there, and forget this fork.

I announced it here: https://github.com/gustavo-iniguez-goya/opensnitch/issues/103

Some Arch/Manjaro packages still points to this repo, that's why I've been pushing some commits. But I guess that I'll abandon it. I have some experimental features that maybe I push to new branches. And I'll still keep working on the cli tool from this branch: https://github.com/gustavo-iniguez-goya/opensnitch/tree/cli
