Broken Link to Documentation and last commit was 2017, is this repo still maintained?

[QueerCodingGirl]

The link to the documentation in the readme leads to a gitlab-pages 404 page.

Is this repo still maintained by the adfinis sygroup? (old issues & PRs, last commit 2017)
And if you do not want to maintain it, could you release it into the hands of someone who would like to maintain it, please?

I believe @luk43 and @karras should be able to answer the question if we're still actively using pyaptly.

@tongpu Could you reach out to one of them and ask them directly, please?

I've sent a mail to the group of people internally that should be able to answer the question if we're still actively using pyaptly.

Thank you very much!

I've got some feedback from our team and we're still using it in production up to this date, but haven't made any changes to it in ages as it's still working fine for our case up to now.

Is there anything specific that you're missing right now or would want to contribute?

Yes, while i now think that i have figured out how to write the config yml it would be nice if you could fix the generation and hosting of the documentation.

My biggest problem right now is that you do not seem to build this package for newer distro versions. I need an Ubuntu focal package. You have some other Ubuntu focal packages hosted on your deb repository ( http://aptly.adfinis-sygroup.ch/adsy-public/ubuntu ), but not the pyaptly package.

It really seems that the main problem is the build pipeline. If you could fix that, as i cannot do that for you, that would be great and fix at least these 2 problems.

This project uses another (already archived) project of yours for your build pipeline: https://github.com/adfinis-sygroup/pyproject/blob/8471700f2009599d037ba2b941aef704655b13f8/HOW_TO_RELEASE.rst
I guess this needs to be switched out for whatever you currently use to build and deploy.

Please be aware that this will probably take a while and that I won't be the one implementing it.

We probably need to find a replacement for the freeze dependency and will also need to replace pyproject. I'll try to at least move the docs over to GitHub pages to solve that issue.

Thank you very much for your work!

We updated pyaptly for 2024. It is now working on recent systems again. There are alpha/beta packages on each merge build, please search for the lastest one. There is still a lot of love that the project could receive, for example we have deferred updating sphinx-doc and therefore there is currently no readthedocs.
