Hey @adamwiggins, apologies for the direct ping but it seems like you might be the only remaining active maintainer of this gem. Any chance you could merge and release this? Thanks in advance! |
|
Hmm interesting, I'm not active—haven't written a line of code here in 10+ years. Happy to hand over maintenance to whoever wants to pick it up. |
Hi Adam, I can help. I maintain PaperTrail and Authlogic. I use RestClient at work, but only as a transitive dependency of Mailgun. So, my maintenance efforts here would be limited to critical issues only: security, and dependency upgrades like this PR. The first thing I'd probably do (even before merging this PR) would be setting up CI. |
|
Thank you both, I think that would be a really good way forward |
|
Heh, so I just realized I don't have any special permissions here on the rest-client top-level account. Sorry, maybe @mattmanning can help? |
|
The first step would have been : #754 but I don't think this will happen. I'm a bit pessimistic about the future of this gem as nobody seems to care. |
|
hey @adamwiggins, would you be willing to review/merge a couple of small, maintenance-related PRs (and cut+push a new release)? Fixing CI and bumping/loosening dependencies would be good enough for me really. Thanks so much in advance, it would really help us a lot. |

@TomA-R @jaredbeck Why down thumbing my answer? Really, I'd like to know? Does this mean I can't express my opinion about the future of this gem? I really don't understand people like you. |
|
Hi Nicolas, I have no problem with your PR (in fact, I think it's a good idea, thanks for contributing!). I don't share your pessimism though - we seem to have Adam's attention, even if he doesn't have access to add maintainers. |
|
@TomA-R the only 3 people allowed to add committers https://github.com/rest-client @ab (@brodygov) @L2G @mattmanning |
|
I've been pinging them litterally for years with no answers, never, even by mail. Thus my pessimism. |
|
Since #715 everybody left the project. |
|
The Github orgs 'people' page doesn't list everyone who has write access to the repo, but you're right, it was a bit of a bold assumption that Adam may be able to help (that was based on who owns Rubygems). So what are the alternatives? Create a fork and publish it to Rubygems? |
|
Really I don't know... You're the first one to show interest in this gem I've met. |
|
Even @ioquatix (a ruby core committer/developper) gave up : #721 (comment) |
|
I'd say let's give it a couple of weeks, maybe @adamwiggins has some magic up his sleeve and otherwise fork the project? What do you think? |
Sure, I've been waiting longer than that 😄 (I'm following this PR since its creation) That said I'm really sad about the situation. |
Fixes #750
