Seeking volunteers to maintain Check
brarcher opened this issue · comments
Hi! I'm one of the maintainers of Check. For the last several years I've helped maintain the project, including bringing it from Sourceforge to GitHub, helping expand the platforms that are officially supported, and helping enable automated vetting of contributions against Linux, OSX, and Windows. (Thanks to everyone who contributed to these and other efforts!)
There are a number of users of Check, and many ideas for improving the project. Over the last year I've found myself with less time to dedicate to the project. I'm seeking volunteers who are interested in joining the project as maintainers, which involves:
- Contributing changes,
- Reviewing pull requests from the community,
- Creating releases, and
- Determining the future path of the project
If you are interested, please reply here or send me an email. Thanks.
hello
i also don't have a lot of free time. But maybe a suggestion :
maybe you should raise some requirements (higher compiler version, c99)
that would simplify the build system and some headers (the simpler, the better)
regards
Your suggestions sound reasonable to me.
maybe you should raise some requirements (higher compiler version, c99)
Some of the documentation may be out of date on the C version. I believe the requirement now is C99, for example:
https://github.com/libcheck/check/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt#L82
As for the compiler versions and other dependencies, the requirement are typically updated when some feature comes out that would be useful for the project. CMake's minimum version has been updated a few times, for example. Check compiles on multiple compilers -- if there is a new feature that would be useful for Check and it requires updating a minimum version for a compiler or checking if the compiler supports a given feature, that's reasonable.
@brarcher Hi, Branden, thanks for all your contributions to the project. I'm not sure if you've already found someone, but I'd love to become a project maintainer. I'm starting grad school in the spring, but I'll still have more than enough time. I love the library, and I'd love to get to help out.
Hi Jose! I've sent you an email to continue the discussion. If you did not get it, contact me directly.
