Status of the project and new maintainers needed

arnowelzel opened this issue a year ago · comments

Well - bad news, but it's inevitable:

The upstream project "KeeWeb" does not have a maintainer (see keeweb/keeweb#2022) and even over a year after nobody showed up to maintain that project.
The Nextcloud integration needs a complete rewrite to fix certain issues and to be compatible with NC 27, since the autoloader does not work any longer and other things also changed in Nextcloud (#205, #219)

However I don't have the time to take care of either project as needed and personally I switched to another password manager and don't even use Keepass any longer on my own.

So as long as there is no one showing up willing to maintain that project including the upstream part I have to say that KeeWeb for Nextcloud will not exist any longer in the future and the version for Nextcloud 26 will be the last one for the time being - sorry!

Update 2023-06-19

Thanks to the help of @burned42 we managed to build an update for NC 27 which should at least work for some time.

I second that this project as is has no real future. I'm glad to handover to someone who sees otherwise but will archive this in a couple of months otherwise.

There's a new PR claiming to fix compatibility with the latest Nextcloud version.

I merged the PR and will check if we can at least provide an update for NC 27. However the main issue remains: the upstream project is not maintained any longer and #205 also needs some attention. The latter one is not a breaking change (yet) in Nextcloud but will cause a lot of log entries if debug logging is enabled.

Since we managed to get an update done for NC 27 which also includes the new application structure and fixes #205 as well, it may make sense to keep it a bit longer as long as KeeWeb itself works. But otherwise I agree - without any active development of the upstream KeeWeb it will break at some point.

Hey, just wanted to thank you guys for giving the app another gasp of life before it ceases to be.
