What is the repository status?

[jmauro]

Hello,

It seems that the repository doesn't have a lot of recent activity, is this on purpose or the maintainers stopped this project?

Kind regards,
JM

I looks inactive based on the pull requests, open issues, and commit history.

It would be good to get the point of view of the maintainers...

Being realistic, I'd say you shouldn't expect any activity in this repo

I haven't had contact with the other maintainers for several years now (I haven't tried very hard either) and they haven't been active here. I don't think they're completely disinterested in this field considering the dhcp library is still actively maintained, but I can't speak for them obviously.

Although I think I would like to keep maintaining this repo, I do not have full access to it, only basic committer permissions - I can accept submitted PRs, but not push or accept my own code (which is very limiting) or otherwise change repo configuration.

There are people who seemed interested in taking up a fork in a different repo in a few recent PRs, and I'd say in the short term that's your best bet

I am planning to resume the work on CoreDHCP now, after I got burned once again by other implementations. As a first step I'll try to stabilize and clean up the core plugins (where needed); then I want to resume the work on offering a better configuration language (either via #89 or #91 ). Any help from @Natolumin will be critical to do a better job, and highly appreciated, but I'm OK with working on this alone, hopefully with community input.

@insomniacslk I would appreciate having some release tags moving forward. Anything is better than just randomly tracking the master. I was about to add a nix package for this earlier today as I got burned by dnsmasq issues, and I learned there's not a single "release".

@farcaller I agreee with you. This was a side project and I didn't expect more than me and a few others to use it, but judging by forks and stars on this repo, it deserves proper love.

EDIT: please note that I'll be stabilizing the range plugin before creating the first release
