Creating repos
gowther-zoho opened this issue · comments
You shouldn't be creating new repos for vimscripts that never had one. For example, you created a github repo for logpad.vim where it didn't have one before. That is not good. Linking to other repos is fine.
That was the whole point. It unified distribution so tools like Vundle could use plugins with obsolete package formats.
Happily, since pretty much all Vim plugins are available on Github now, there's not much need for vim-scripts anymore. It'll go away soon. (where "soon" is months or years, whenever the project owners get around to it)
Leaving this issue open until everything gets deleted.
@bronson where's the right place to talk about how to get the project running again? I'd be willing to contribute some time/money. Who has credentials?
Well right on. The first thing to do would be to get the scraper running again, which might take some code changes. Clone vim-scraper and follow the instructions at the top of https://github.com/vim-scraper/vim-scraper/blob/master/scraper
Once you can get a full scrape, we'll figure out how you can scrape onto the existing repos and push the updates. It will probably involve https://github.com/vim-scraper/vim-scraper/blob/master/check-remotes
Two gems make me very uneasy: hpricot and gitrb. If you can manage to replace them with Nokogiri and maybe libgit2, then the scraper is ready for a new decade. If not, then I think its days should be limited...
Good luck! Have fun with it. Feel free to open issues with any questions you have.
