exa is unmaintained, please use the active fork eza instead.

A lot of work has already been put into it by other people, and I’ll be porting my ongoing work to this fork. Sadly, @ogham seems unreachable so I can’t really archive the project… for now, I’ll redirect people to eza, from the README and issues page.

A page is turning for me: it was great maintaining exa on my own for a while but it wasn’t sustainable and I was in burnout, I’m so glad people finally created a fork that I could contribute to instead of having to handle the whole thing.

Second occurrence of exa in the current title should probably read eza?

You can archive this repository, to mark it as unmaintained. People then cannot submit PRs and there is a big warning that this is archived.

IMHO this would make it more obvious this is not maintained anymore.

Edit: Oh sorry just read your OP, forget it, you said that there already.

Anyway, thanks for maintaining it so long! 🤗

Thanks for your work!

Could you maybe also archive this repo and/or add a message in the repo description and on the exa website about this? I've stumbled upon the deprecation via brew doctor but apart from the formula being marked as deprecated, I thought it was a bug at first as both this repo and the exa website don't seem to note this. Only after not finding a ticket with the word "deprecated" I noticed this pinned issue.

README has clear header at the beginning about it. And below header there is the reason why it's not possible to archive or change info on the site

I see that most of the crates that were originally maintained by ogham have now found new homes as forks (exa -> eza, users -> uzers, ansi-term -> ansiterm, etc.), but nobody seems to have taken https://github.com/ogham/rust-number-prefix yet.

It's a dependency of a handful of things that we package for Fedora Linux (eza and any application that uses the indicatif crate). Unless there's some maintained fork of number_prefix that I missed, I will likely set up a new project to continue to maintain / develop it under a GitHub org.


EDIT: I forked number_prefix as unit-prefix, did a few cleanups, and published it on GitHub and on crates.io. The API is, for now, 100% compatible with number_prefix.

exa is no longer maintained. eza is a new community-based fork that
continues that work.
