Solidus: Paperclip closing, time to move to ActiveStorage?

[askl56]

```Seems that Thoughtbot guys decided to retire Paperclip and are stopping all further development and support for it.

A handful of PRs that are marked "merge before deprecating": https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip/pulls

Can't really find announcement or discussion around it though.
```

Is there a migration plan for moving from Solidus to Paperclip?

[askl56]

Anyone on this?

[gmacdougall]

We are planning on migration away from Paperclip. There was some initial work done in #2328 but it needs some additional work.

The work in #2337 most likely needs to be merged before we are able to easily extract Paperclip into an extension.

@gmacdougall Happy to help in any way I can

Hi there, any news on this topic.

Came here by a research for Activestorage. I saw the team on Spree did an update: They already implemented ActiveStorage. (https://spreecommerce.org/spree-3-5-and-3-6-with-rails-5-2-ruby-2-5-and-activestorage-support-released/)

My questionis if there is a near future where this feature will be migrated?

Thank you very much

@exocode It looks like @swcraig is continuing work on this change right now!

Any update on this?

[swcraig]

I am no longer actively working on this.
@elia has graciously picked up the work here.

This is now merged in master. It will be available when Rails 6.1 will be released.
