Project status?
voidcontext opened this issue · comments
First of all, I really like this project, I was looking for a self-hostable binary cache for quite a while now. According to my limited experience, attic seems to be a stable and very efficient tool. Although the README clearly states that it is a prototype, it feels like it is already more than that. To be honest, the number of unanswered issues and PRs a bit worries me as it seems like the project is unmaintained.
So my question is this: is there any plan to move this project forward and out of its prototype status?
Hi there, and thanks for the questions! I've been busy for the past months but I'm trying to find time to push my projects forward. Before moving onto Attic, my current focus is getting issues and PRs in Colmena resolved.
Regarding the prototype status, it's indeed the current characterization but I rely on Attic myself and it's meeting my own needs.
Thanks for the update!
Would it be possible to move to a multi-maintainer setup? Right now people seem to want to contribute but prs remain open without any clear way forward.
Just an update: Still swamped with stuff but hopefully able to push things through soon. See also NixOS/nixpkgs#274481

Good point, and I'm considering adding others to help with maintenance.
Maybe this could be transferred to the nix-community org, while keeping you as the primary maintainer @zhaofengli ? Along with a couple more maintainers this could go a long way to helping secure longer term maintenance.

@zhaofengli Totally get that. I also don't want to add to your workload. Maybe a discord (or similar) could help? Like this there can be some level of self-organisation.
