Back in February I [resigned as the maintainer of several Redis-related libraries](/2018/02/20/end-of-maintenance-hiredis-co/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since then I found some new maintainers taking over the work.
|
|
|
|
|
However, I was not very public about that and thus some people depending on
|
|
|
|
|
these libraries got suspicious when previously unknown people suddenly wrote
|
|
|
|
|
commits and pushed new packages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is entirely my fault for not properly announcing who took over. So here is a late but overdue followup.
|
|
|
|
|
The repositories of each of the libraries remain in the [Redis organization](https://github.com/redis) on GitHub.
|
|
|
|
|
Salvatore, the main developer of Redis, is the owner of this organization and has therefore full access to all repositories.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## [redis-rb][] (and [hiredis-rb][])
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I was approached by [Florian Weingarten](https://github.com/fw42) and asked if a team of Shopify devs can take over.
|
|
|
|
|
I handed over access to the GitHub repository to a list of people provided by Florian, all of which are employed by Shopify.
|
|
|
|
|
Additionally I granted them access to the Gem.
|
|
|
|
|
Currently most development and new versions (and a beta release!) are driven by [Jean Boussier](https://github.com/byroot).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I trust Florian and his colleagues at Shopify to handle redis-rb.
|
|
|
|
|
I retain ownership rights to the GitHub repository and the Gem.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## [hiredis-py][]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I was approached by [Yue Du](https://github.com/ifduyue).
|
|
|
|
|
I handed over access to the GitHub repository as well as the PyPi package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I trust Yue to handle hiredis-py.
|
|
|
|
|
I retain ownership rights to the GitHub repository and the PyPi package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## [hiredis-node][]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No new maintainers were added.
|
|
|
|
|
However, with [node-redis](http://redis.js.org/) there's rarely a need to have the C library in use.
|
|
|
|
|
I'm okay with deprecating it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## [hiredis][]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The underlying C library, hiredis, remains in the hands of [Michael Grunder](https://github.com/michael-grunder).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I trust Michael to handle hiredis.
|
|
|
|
|
I retain ownership rights to the GitHub repository.
