Project life check #13

Closed eeickmeyer closed 3 years ago

eeickmeyer commented 4 years ago

I'm the new maintainer for the hexter package in Fedora. Unfortunately, I am having the worst trouble getting the GUI to work properly (at all) while compiling with gcc 10. Using a gcc comptibilty to 8 is not an option going forward. With that, I did see in Issue #10 the mention of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1706391, and saw a pull request to fix the bug. Unfortunately, there has been no response from the author, nor a commit since March 18, 2018, meaning no activity for almost two years to the date.

If this project isn't active anymore, then unfortunately it is suffering bitrot and I will have to retire the package from Fedora, and pursue an alternative. Additionally, with my Ubuntu Studio leader hat on, I'll likely have to replace hexter from our default install with an alternative going forward.

I found this project over the weekend and got the referenced pull request to build that fixes the segfault. it looks very useful and might be good to study for a project I'm working on too, though the project homepage drops off right around the last commits in this repo.

There seems to be some people in the issues section here that have merged code in but it seems everyone is keeping their own fork :(

Thanks for the inquiry, Erich. I'm still around, just finding my time pretty limited. The GUI segfault issue is fixed in release 1.1.1.
