Discussion: Maintenance of Project Hamster #181
Conversation
I'm really glad somebody took the project over. I don't wish to maintain, but I might contribute some features or bug fixes over the time. Pull requests are my preference too. |
Likewise, I was given commit access, to the shell-extension, following a pull request. However, I'm not really interested in maintaining the project. I was just scratching an itch (open source is great). That said, I use project hamster all day, 5 days a week, so I'll probably dip in from time-to-time, as and well itchiness and spare time coincide. As for future direction, I already submitted GH issues for the minor items I have thought of. |
give me a shout with your wordpress details if you feel like taking over the blog. |

@a-m-s good point, I've split up the README changes now. |
@tbaugis sure why not, my Wordpress account is toupeira@gmx.ch. |

Another point regarding the version: It seems we've started at 1.0 again at some point, but that will require distributions to change the package name. That might possibly be a good thing since the new version doesn't support the same DEs as the old one, but on the other hand we could also just continue at 3.0. Any ideas? @tbaugis was there a specific reason for the version reset? |
Dear Markus, I apologize for the delay. I'm a student, so I had to adjust to the end I'm delighted to hear you are taking over the project. Hamster is great, On 08/09/14 12:42, Markus Koller wrote:

Hey Nikita, thanks for your input! No worries about the delay, we're all very busy here it seems ;-) I definitely think the Python 3 migration makes sense now (and will be inevitable at some point), so if you find the time to rebase it and fix the issues that would be very much appreciated! Not sure about waf, if you prefer something else I'm open to changing it, otherwise I'll look into what changes waf requires for Python 3. |
@toupeira, I'll see about the Debian packaging. There was an ITP (intent-to-package) from Etienne BERSAC last year, I'll see if he's still interested. If not, I'll consider maintaining the package myself (I'm already a Debian Maintainer). Regarding the version number, for Debian, this isn't really needed. The current package is called 'hamster-applet', which doesn't really apply anymore, so switching to hamster-time-tracker is probably a good idea anyway. In general, it might be less confusing to have non-overlapping version number,s but now that there are already a few 1.x releases, it might be even more confusing to switch to 3.0? |
Hi there, Glad somebody is taking this on. For my 2p's worth I also thought that the version number reset confused a I ported the applet to Cinnamon some time back when I had more time to Not really maintaining this now due to real life priority shift, but the Jon

Looks like I overestimated the time I have available to put into this as well ;-) But I'll try to get some things done Real Soon Now™. @matthijskooijman thanks that's good to hear! I concur that changing the version again now might be even more confusing, so I'm fine with sticking to 1.04 for now. The name hamster-time-tracker seems sensible to me as well. @jonbrett thanks for your input as well! |
Hi, I'm not willing to maintain the debian package now. I have RSI :/ Regards, |

Discussion: Maintenance of Project Hamster
Since @tbaugis's priorities have shifted the project is currently unmaintained. I was recently given commit access for a PR and would be willing to take over maintance. Any other interested collaborators are welcome to join the discussion!
