Update go-macaron/cache and go-macaron/session

[tamalsaha]

I would like to update the go-macaron/cache and go-macaron/session packages to use the latest version of go-redis client. The latest client has support for Redis cluster. I opened prs against the macaron repos for 2 months which have not been merged.

• Update github.com/go-redis/redis to v6.15.2 go-macaron/cache#12
• Update github.com/go-redis/redis to v6.15.2 go-macaron/session#28

How can gitea use my updated version of the macaron libraries?

There has been some discussion on switching away from macaron due to several issues, one of which you mentioned (pending PRs not being merged for >2mos). The issue is #7403.

I think while we work on the above, we may need to fork macaron in the interim so we can add fixes, such as the ones above. Maybe we create a new org on gitea.com (we'd need to rename macaron to something else) with the macaron repos in it that Gitea project can maintain itself.

@lunny @zeripath thoughts?

I suggest we convert to gin web framework and we can maintain some gin's middlewares. I think we can do something on v1.10 and v1.11

[techknowlogick]

I like gin, but that will take time to convert. I think short-term fork of macaron would be good while we wait for #7403

[lunny]

For a short-term target, I like your idea to create a new org in gitea.com to fork macaron's repositories.

[tamalsaha]

I also agree with maintaining forked repos for now.

[lunny]

I have created fork organization https://gitea.com/macaron and I think we can move some gitea internal middlewares to that organization

@techknowlogick / @lunny / @zeripath , it seems that the following macaron repos should be forked too, since the main macaron repo has been forked.

• github.com/go-macaron/binding
• github.com/go-macaron/cors
• github.com/go-macaron/i18n
• github.com/go-macaron/inject
• github.com/go-macaron/toolbox

[lunny]

All above forked, but need PRs.

[tamalsaha]

@lunny , can you please add drone for the repos? I can send pr for the go.mod stuff.

[lunny]

@tamalsaha all drone added.
