Maintainance status -- new release soon!

[pradyunsg]

Hey @GaretJax!

I see that this package hasn't been updated in a while. Is this still actively maintained? If not, would you be OK with transferring maintainership of this project to someone else (either an individual - I am happy to volunteer for that - or an org like jazzband or executablebooks)?

[chrisjsewell]

Yes we at https://github.com/executablebooks would most probably be happy to take it on

[chrisjsewell]

And obviously still set you as an one of the owners

[GaretJax]

Hi @pradyunsg, thanks for the offer. I think there have been talks between @evildmp and jazzband in the past about this, but I don't know what the status is there; that would be my preferred solution.

I didn't know about executablebooks @chrisjsewell, but it looks like you do a lot of sphinx indeed, so it may be even a better home.

[chrisjsewell]

oh yes a lot lol! and @pradyunsg has been helping us out on the web design side of things which is obviously where this package comes in very handy thanks. We're just integrating into our development process (see https://github.com/executablebooks/sphinx-book-theme/pull/172) so would certainly like to keep it active.

But yeh naturally its entirely up to you, but just let us know if you do want to and I wouldn't foresee any objections 😄

[GaretJax]

Could we start maybe by adding @pradyunsg (and you @chrisjsewell, don't know how you're organized) to this repo and see how things go? If all goes well, I'm then happy to transfer it to another org.

[chrisjsewell]

yep no problem, sounds good to me 👍

[GaretJax]

Who shall I add?

[chrisjsewell]

@pradyunsg you opened the issue so should have first refusal 😊

[pradyunsg]

Sounds great to me!

Please feel free to add me (and @chrisjsewell, if they say they're OK with it) here and we'll take it from there. :)

[GaretJax]

@pradyunsg you have access as a collaborator to the repo.

[pradyunsg]

Oh awesome! Thank you! ^.^

My next instinctive question is, PyPI access. Would you be willing to give me publish access on PyPI as well? (same username there, https://pypi.org/user/pradyunsg/)

[chrisjsewell]

Well we could just move the testing/deployment to GitHub actions. Then it just requires an API secret being set on the repository 😉

(like https://github.com/executablebooks/MyST-Parser/blob/master/.github/workflows/tests.yml)

[pradyunsg]

We certainly can/should do that, but my concern stems more from a bus factor perspective for this project. :)

[GaretJax]

I'll give you access in due course @pradyunsg ;-)

[pradyunsg]

Sounds fair to me! ^>^

[choldgraf]

Damn we will have to refactor our plans to install crypto miners in everybody's Sphinx builds 😅

but seriously - thanks @GaretJax for inviting collaboration on this repo!

[pradyunsg]

LOL

I'm pretty sure we have access to better "targets" if we really wanted to spread crypto miners around. 😂

[GaretJax]

I knew it!

[pradyunsg]

For anyone wondering what's up, the PRs and issues here got a round of triage and there's #83. I guess I'll go clicky on the merge button sooner-than-later on that one -- but feel free to holler if you'd prefer I slow down.

Also, I find making follow up PRs is usually pretty cheap. :)

[chrisjsewell]

Yep looking better 👍 re #85, why not just move to Github Actions?

[chrisjsewell]

Also, my 10 cents, I'd move to click for the CLI

[pradyunsg]

why not just move to Github Actions?

Coz I don't have the permissions on this repo to turn off Travis CI. 🙃

I'd move to click for the CLI

Yup. Was thinking about that too -- but I think there's a few more "pressing" issues at hand, like trimming dependencies and reducing "failure rate". :)

[chrisjsewell]

Coz I don't have the permissions on this repo to turn off Travis CI

You shouldn't need it, just delete the web hook in the repo settings? (oh or maybe you can't if you are only a collaborator)

but I think there's a few more "pressing" issues at hand, like trimming dependencies and reducing "failure rate"

Nah, no one cares about those 😆

[chrisjsewell]

Oh and I also expect you to use myst-parser and sphinx-book-theme for the RTD docs 😉

[pradyunsg]

You shouldn't need it, just delete the web hook in the repo settings? (oh or maybe you can't if you are only a collaborator)

That. :P

[pradyunsg]

Ahoy @GaretJax! I think we're almost ready for a release.

• Would you be willing to transfer the project to the executablebooks organization?
• PyPI access would be nice to have, to actually make the release. pradyunsg as an Owner would be ideal. 🙃
• Could you give me access to add/remove webhooks on this repository?

[pradyunsg]

93 and #94 await @GaretJax's OK (and PyPI access).

[pradyunsg]

Oh and I also expect you to use myst-parser and sphinx-book-theme for the RTD docs 😉

I don't think this project needs RTD docs. Checkout the README! :)

[GaretJax]

@pradyunsg you have been granted access to PyPI and I approved the two PRs. I tried to transfer the project but I don't have the rights to create public repos on the executablebooks organisation. It also does not seem possible to grant you more privileges as what you already have here. I also tried to transfer the ownership to yourself (so that you can transfer it to the org), but you already have a fork of the repo.

[chrisjsewell]

@GaretJax I've just invited you as a member of executablebooks 😄

[GaretJax]

Transferred!

[chrisjsewell]

🎉 thanks, @pradyunsg we can start crypto mining 😂

[chrisjsewell]

@pradyunsg I just gave you maintainer status

[pradyunsg]

@chrisjsewell Could you make me an admin? I can't see webhooks and don't have the ability to manage protected branches.

[pradyunsg]

@pradyunsg you have been granted access to PyPI and I approved the two PRs.

Awesome! Thank you @GaretJax! ^>^

[pradyunsg]

Note to self: make a release on 1st. :)

[pradyunsg]

sphinx-autobuild 2020.9.1 is out! We're golden. Now, let's see if people report breakages, or if anyone complains. :)

[pradyunsg]

Thanks everyone here! Definitely wouldn't have happened without y'all. ^>^

[GaretJax]

Thank you @pradyunsg for resurrecting the project! :heart:
