Hi everybody,
I'm in the process of taking over Redis and updating it (from 4.0.9
released 4 years ago, to 6.2.6).
That works pretty nicely, but a few projects are depending on it, and are
pretty outdated.
- libraries/php-redis: May be bumped from 4.2.0 to 5.3.7, but seems to work
fine anyway. Though its maintainer, Ebben Aries, hasn't been active in 2 years.
I will post an update for it, and if nobody maintains it by two weeks, I'll
take over, as it is kinda linked to redis.
- system/redis-py: Also very obsolete (2.10.5 is more than 6 years old !),
builds for python2 (we ought to mercifully kill that beast), and its maintainer
is very much active here.
So Dimitris, do you want me to handle that one for you ?
- system/trmaid: builds on Python2 (again !?), but its dependencies are not
all python2. Namely feedparser builds only Python3. Hence this will not work.
I don't very much want to take over that one, but I will update it if nobody
does, just so that it works.
- network/openvas-libraries: another outdated thingy. OpenVAS is still pretty
much active, but it seems that openvas-libraries in itself doesn't exist
anymore, the whole bunch of SlackBuilds relating to OpenVAS ought to be
reworked, and I don't really want to do that. Its maintainer, Kent Fritz, seems
inative for 1 year and a half. I won't do anything about it, and I don't know
if updating Redis will break it, but since it doesn't build anyway (source
isn't available anymore), that won't change much.
Maybe remove all (openvas-cli, openvas-scanner, openvas-libraries), if nobody
wants to take over maintainership there ?
To summarize :
- I will post updates for php-redis, redis-py and trmaid, if nobody steps up
soon.
- I will take over maitainership of php-redis in a few weeks if there is still
no active maintainer.
- I'm willing to take over redis-py from Dimitris Zlatanidis, because it seems
pertinent since I will be maintainer of Redis itself.
- I don't especially want to maintain trmaid, I'm just OK to make it work
today.
- I will not look into OpenVAS.
Cheers,
- Yth / Arnaud
