Actix-web: Please return this repo to the original URL to not break existing projects.

Created on 17 Jan 2020  Â·  5Comments  Â·  Source: actix/actix-web

By moving the project here and putting a dummy repo in place, you are causing many projects to fail to build, written by people who respected your code.

Archiving it is a much better idea than trying to delete history.

I believe Nikolay said he was going to find some maintainers that he trusts for taking over the public version of the Actix repositories. I don't think bugging him about it will help anything, you're just going to have to wait and work around any issues for now.

But why remove the project from view while doing that?

What is the requirement to become maintainer?? There are a lot of people including me who gladly to become main maintainer to uphold open source foundation.

One URL path segment is easily within your power to address.

By moving the project here

I understand that's annoying — at the same time, is there an upside? Namely that people notice that something has changed (when their build breaks or sth like that), and go to the Actix-Web repo, and see the "Actix project postmortem" readme. — It's a bit important that people who use Actix read it?

I like Actix, @rhzs I hope there'll be some maintainers & future development :- ). I'm just about to continue learning Rust and building a web app based on Actix.
