Conan-center-index: [question] Crunch & forks

[intelligide]

Can we use forks for unmaintained libraries ?

I want to create a recipe for crunch. It's texture compression codec library unmaintained for several years. But there is a fork that fixed bugs and add CMake.

Using BinomialLLC/crunch:
Pros:

• Official

Cons:

• .sln/.vcxproj (for VS) + Makefile (for Linux)
• No shared option

https://github.com/DaemonEngine/crunch
Using the fork DaemonEngine/crunch:
Pros:

• Fixed a lot of bugs
• CMake Support (with shared libs)

Cons:

• Unofficial

Which one should I use?

[Croydon]

In my opinion, crunch should be reserved for the original one

The fork could be packaged as daemonengine-crunch

Could this answer be added to the docs to help guide contributors?
