Still supported? #276

Open StatusCode404 opened 3 years ago

StatusCode404 commented 3 years ago

I can see that there's been no activity nor new tags nor the last tag put to stable since last year!

Is this still supported?

StatusCode404 commented 3 years ago

So no one knows? It shows 5 contributors to this project?

StatusCode404 commented 3 years ago

@marazmista @Danysan1 Just reaching out and wondering if you could answer the above? Just wondering if there will be ongoing support for this project as newer radeon cards come out?

Danysan1 commented 3 years ago

Hi, it's a while that I have changed PC with another one with an Nvidia card, so unfortunately I am unable to develop and test changes on this project

Thanks, do you know if anyone of your previous counterparts are still supporting this software?

I am not one of the previous contributors, but I have started collection fixes from other pull requests and my own fixes and improvements in my fork, after I noticed that marazmista isn't currently active and no one is responding to PRs. I plan to keep working on it further. You find it at: https://github.com/emerge-e-world/radeon-profile

Thanks for the heads up! I noticed that your repo has no "issues" tab, how do users, contributors, testers; communicate within your 'active' repo? Will master and tags be stable? - I had a quick look and there are no new tags.

emerge-e-world commented 2 years ago

Oh you're right, I didn't notice that I hadn't enabled issues yet. They're available now. Master should be fairly stable. Other than smaller bug fixes, I tend to work for more complicated changes in feature branches that I merge when I consider them good enough. I will add tags in the future. At the moment I'm still working on some smaller fixes I wanted to get in before I make the first release.

Great that you've picked this up, @emerge-e-world ! It's a fantastic project that I really need to get my GPU fan to a bearable level. Do you plan on publishing Flatpaks and Snaps? At the moment I build everything myself (I need some bugfixes and am on Ubuntu 22.04, for which there isn't a PPA yet). It would be really great if there was an easy way to install Radeon Profile without adding a PPA!

emerge-e-world commented 2 years ago

I haven't really thought about packaging yet. I wasn't planning on taking over the project at all, I merely hoped my changes would eventually be merged upstream. But it doesn't look like this is going to happen any time soon, so it would indeed be useful to have something easy to install. I'll have to look into snaps/flatpaks a bit, I don't have much experience with those. Creating a PPA should be easy enough though. I'd prefer native packages in distro repos overall. A lot of distros already have marazmista's version in their repos that worked well so far, it would be easy to build from my repo the same way. Anyhow, I'll look into it more after I got some more fixes merged, it would certainly be nice to have a working version that is easy to install cross distro. For the moment you'll have to compile it yourself.

Oxalin commented 2 years ago

I'm late to the game: I haven't had time to work or contribute more on radeon profile, but I'm still interested in it. I am one of the previous contributors and I'd like to contribute more. @marazmista could you let us know if you are still interested in this project. Could you have a (or a few) co-administrator? @emerge-e-world has a fork with some additional commits that could be brought back to the main project.

Oxalin commented 1 year ago

I took some time during the last two weeks to build a new version. I'm almost ready to release a new version. You can have a look here: https://github.com/Oxalin/radeon-profile

Oxalin commented 1 year ago

If you want to test Radeon Profile and Radeon Profile daemon (you need both up to date), have a go over here:

Radeon Profile: https://github.com/Oxalin/radeon-profile Radeon Profile daemon: https://github.com/Oxalin/radeon-profile-daemon

I'm almost ready for a release.

@Oxalin
Thanks!
radeon-profile-20200824 segfaulted after upgrading my Notebook from Debian-11 to Debian-12.
(notebook hardware specs: HP EliteBook 735 G8, Ryzen 3500U incl. Radeon GPU) But your version runs fine!
Strangly it still runs fine with Debian-12 on my desktop computer. (desktop hardware specs: ASUS TUF GAMING B550-PLUS Mainboard, Ryzen 5800X CPU, Gigabyte Radeon RX 590 GPU)

Would you mind opening the issue section in your projects?
https://github.com/Oxalin/radeon-profile
https://github.com/Oxalin/radeon-profile-daemon

And you also might want to search for these strings in your version:
marazmista/radeon-profile
At least add your GitHub URL too in the "about section" of the program.
(it's probably a good idea to keep the original author for reference and copyright reasons)

 

P.S.
I just wondered why my webbrowser doesn't open the links in the about section of the program. Until I remembered, that the app is running as root, which has no webbrowser configured on my system (I'm not using the daemon).
Maybe you want to add some hint for that situation. E.g. when running as root (UID=0), displaying URL strings that can be copied instead of having clickable links.
