No new releases via gnome.org? #138

Closed c-alpha closed 1 year ago

c-alpha commented 1 year ago

I've just scratched my head why issue #115 was still biting be in my homebrew setup. It turns out that the homebrew formula for gmime is referencing the latest stable gmime release on gnome.org, which is the two year old 3.2.7.

Before lobbying the homebrew maintainers to switch their gmime formula to this repo, it seemed called for getting the gmime author's view on where future releases should be expected?

jstedfast commented 1 year ago

I'll be making future releases here since I no longer seem to have access to the GNOME FTP server (they likely changed the way they do things for security or migrating off old infrastructure or something, but I didn't get the memo).

Thanks for your swift response! And just the info I needed.

c-alpha commented 1 year ago

@jstedfast, apologies for reopening this.

I'm chatting with the homebrew maintainers in https://github.com/orgs/Homebrew/discussions/4101, and they're asking for some official confirmation by the Gnome project to confirm the new repo location.

Do you see any options for having information on gnome.org point to your GH repo? Perhaps an announcement on the gmime-devel mailing list? As the archive of that list is available via gnome.org, it could perhaps count as an "official link"?

jstedfast commented 1 year ago

The mailing-list is no longer functional AFAIK. I got a notice about all GNOME mailing lists being shut down a few months ago.

Many thanks for chiming into the homebrew discussion thread!

Updating the sourceforge could be one option (provided you can still log in there).

Perhaps the best thing would be to get a pointer message up on https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gmime ? Maybe you could contact Carlos Soriano who is listed as admin among the project's members on gitlab.gnome.org, and ask him to put it up there?

Job done, many thanks!!!
