Competing repo? #12

Closed gwerbin closed 2 years ago

gwerbin commented 2 years ago

What is the difference between this repo and https://github.com/z-shell/fast-syntax-highlighting?

pschmitt commented 2 years ago

Not much besides the "ownership", I obviously cannot vouch for the z-shell though and wouldn't advise using any of the z-shell repos but that's just my opinion ;)

alichtman commented 2 years ago

Seems like there are a few recent commits on it. I personally use the repo owned by this org

gwerbin commented 2 years ago

@pschmitt @alichtman thanks.

I am aware that zdharma-continuum is an attempt at keeping the zdharma projects alive in a more "community-oriented" fashion. But what is this z-shell user/group?

It appears to be new, and they don't seem to have any equivalent of https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/I_WANT_TO_HELP. Is it a former member of the zdharma-continuum group? Someone opposed to how the zdharma situation was handled?

It might be useful if you explained why you recommend avoiding them, other than "they aren't us".

We're not recommending not using their fork. We're just not recommending using it.

It's a fork that we don't manage or monitor. Use it at your own risk.

Looks like there is an update on this. The https://github.com/zdharma/fast-syntax-highlighting repo just got created again and now points as a fork to above mentioned https://github.com/z-shell/fast-syntax-highlighting. So it looks like it may have been wise to not recommend the z-shell group, if it is really owned by @psprint . (Edit: Disregard this, psprint is not the malicious person here and is not involved in any way with the suspicious z-shell.) I have created an issue at https://github.com/z-shell/fast-syntax-highlighting/issues/8 to get an official reply from whoever z-shell is on this, but if it really is the real zdharma I don't see how we can trust him on not deleting the repo again.

If zdharma will be doing real progress in the repo over there, we can still manually handpick and port over his patches to this repo after all.

Hi Just to clarify the authorship issue – I'm not the owner of the new zdharma group. Thank you for continuing zdharma at @zdharma-continuum. I can say that you have my blessing.

I'm glad you're alive and well :) If you'd ever like to contribute to the project again, you're more than welcome.

here is what happened...

pspprint deleted the original zdharma organization, at which point Github doesn't allow re-use of the name until 90 days have passed.

Looks like the z-shell maintainers have taken the name and are pointing it to there projects.

The following is My opinion only and doesn't not reflect zdharma-continuum.

The whole z-shell project is slimy. They broke the MIT license by not including reference to original author (@psprint).

It took me a little while to find this information. Perhaps a comment about the difference in the README is warranted?
