Updating the npm node #20

Open keptan opened 5 years ago

keptan commented 5 years ago

https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-rpi-rgb-led-matrix is still tracking the 3 year old version, I plan on releasing some node modules pulling the new 64x64 enabled library as an npm dependency in the near future; and will be actively maintaining my fork as well.

I could either put my fork up as a new npm package, or could become a maintainer of this version on github/npm if you're up for it.

Just wanted to chime in support and say I'd love to use this module from npm, so it would be great to have it be up to date!

It looks like the owner of this repo hasn't had a lot of activity recently, so a maintained fork may be best.

zeitungen commented 5 years ago

Damn! I don't see this issue ... My bad .. I try to look in this few days how to transfer (or share) this skills (maintain the git repo and publish new module version into npm).

zeitungen commented 5 years ago

If someone is always ready to publish in npm and/or maintain the repo I can give him access. Just tell me (and eventually insist if I did not respond)

keptan commented 5 years ago

Maintaining our own npm package at this point: https://www.npmjs.com/package/easybotics-rpi-rgb-led-matrix https://github.com/easybotics/node-rpi-rgb-led-matrix It has some changes and additions, like brightness handling and font caching and drawing.

I'm totally willing to polish it up a bit, make a pull request and maintain your npm repo in the near future if you want.

Perhaps the best move are:

for my github repo: put message in bold red saying "this repo not maintainig go to see [your fork repo]" and in a near future I can delete this repo
for the npm module: give you ownership to the moduule or delete the module if it's possible

What do you think about it ?

keptan commented 5 years ago

Probably best not to delete anything; for the people who might rely on older versions of this repo. But a 'not maintained' message probably works.

I can be added as a owner of the npm, and bring it inline with a working version of your repo. My npm account is here: https://www.npmjs.com/~keptan

The way I see it, the only issue with the npm package is that its 3 years old, not really essential that it receives whatever new features that are in my fork. So both can coexist once its updated.

zeitungen commented 5 years ago

I had a link to your repo in readme. And I have add you as maintainer via the npm ui to my npm module.

thanks, I updated the npm
