README contains dead or stale links to vdr-developer.de

[dr-m]

I was thoroughly confused by the following comment in the README file:

Latest version available at: git://projects.vdr-developer.org/vdr-plugin-rpihddevice.git

That URL does work, but it has not been updated since 4744541. Furthermore:

Project's homepage: http://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/plg-rpihddevice

Anything at http://projects.vdr-developer.org seems to currently return an internal error. I think that it did work some days or weeks ago.

A mirror of the now defunct projects.vdr-developer.org has been set up at GitLab, including for this project https://gitlab.com/vdr-projects/vdr-plugin-rpihddevice. It is still at the above mentioned 1.0.4 version.

@dr-m IMHO the "original" vdr-projects - which tries to group, co-maintain or maintain vdr plugins and related stuff is https://github.com/vdr-projects (134 repositories), is the successor of projects.vdr-developer.org.

https://gitlab.com/vdr-projects is a single-person project with 9 repositories.

@madmartin Thank you for the clarification. https://github.com/vdr-projects currently links to https://vdr-projects.github.io/ which in turn links to this repository and not https://github.com/vdr-projects/vdr-plugin-rpihddevice (which has diverged from this one).

I hope that this situation can be clarified soon.

It looks like GitHub thought that #6 would fix this issue, only because in my initial comment I mentioned that one of the included bug fixes was fixed differently in a commit:

vdr-projects/vdr-plugin-rpihddevice@b527fe5 (which also fixes #2).

As far as I can tell, the README file in this repository must be edited to point to https://github.com/reufer/rpihddevice and https://vdr-projects.github.io (the list of VDR plugins; this one was added in vdr-projects/vdr-projects.github.io@46c89b1). I hope that @reufer can take care of that.

@madmartin I think that the fork https://github.com/vdr-projects/vdr-plugin-rpihddevice needs to be deleted, or rebased with this repository.

@madmartin I think that the fork https://github.com/vdr-projects/vdr-plugin-rpihddevice needs to be deleted, or rebased with this repository.

I have no access to this, I can only open an issue in that repo.

@dr-m please see vdr-projects#1

Can someone provide a new pull request to fix the links in this repos README file?

[madmartin]

I can do that.
