is zgen dead? #123

Open AdrienLemaire opened 5 years ago

AdrienLemaire commented 5 years ago

Hi @tarjoilija,

Is there a roadmap for zgen and features being developed? Or has support for this project been dropped? If you cannot maintain this anymore, should we move over to zplug?

Asking because I see no commits in 7 months and no answers in the issues.

wadkar commented 5 years ago

It works ✅ Stable enough ✅ That sounds good enough for me.

What features would you like to be developed for zgen? Can you create a PR/issue for the same? I wouldn't mind looking into it and I am sure @tarjoilija will be happy to accept reasonable PRs.

This project looks dead to me.

Not only has there been nothing committed, but no issue or PR comments on many good PRs. @tarjoilija last commit to this project and the whole of github was on Oct 20, 2018

Yes, I've switched to antibody https://github.com/getantibody/antibody

Don't know if it's dead but I have moved to https://github.com/zimfw/zimfw/tree/develop

Pretty much dead by now. It's time to archive the repo.

Hi, I've resurrected zgen in my fork zgenom. Among other things, I've added these features:

Please check out the full list.

It's also worth noting that zgenom is fully backwards compatible so you don't need to change your zshrc. Have a look at the migration guide. I hope you like it 🙂

Antibody is officially dead now, too. If anyone is interested in finding a new plugin manager that's light-weight, fast and easy to use, I can highly recommend Znap. It can reduce your time to prompt to ~40ms with just one command. 🙂

I've set up a countdown until znap also declares end of life. ;-)

In the end it turned out, if you know how to download files and manage your own dotfiles repository, you don't really need a plugin manager for zsh.

@ratijas I totally agree. But not everybody has to reinvent the wheel or has the time to do so.

With zgenom I don't do anything you couldn't do yourself with git, file operations and a bit of zsh knowledge. In fact previously I used zgen with a few hand-rolled scripts. (I didn't like submodules)

If you have some tricks up your sleeve I'd be happy to see a contribution or an issue from you 😉
