Is this project still maintained?

[mrbean-bremen]

I noticed the "aspirational" part in the documentation after seeing a post in SO (similar to #65) and thought if it could make sense to contribute to this--but there seems to be no activity here for a year now, and PRs are not handled.

I'm not sure if this is is just temporary, or the project is not maintained anymore - thus this question...

@mrbean-bremen i think this project had die.

Can we at least get a final release that includes all the merged PRs?

[ftobia]

I'll see what I can do. I'm interested in handing off maintenance if anyone is interested.

[mrbean-bremen]

I can have a go if you don't mind. I was thinking about adding some of the "aspirational" stuff anyway...

[mrbean-bremen]

@ftobia - to clarify:
I could do the maintanance, e.g. handling PRs and issues, maintaining the CI tests, and updating documentation. I could also do PyPi releases if you want (would need to be a co-maintainer in PyPi in this case).
I'm not sure if I need some login/permissions in ReadTheDocs (have only used GitHub Pages so far).
Anyway, it is up to you what you want me to do, I'm just volunteering...

You could also try to submit your plugin to pytest-dev.
From that page:

The objectives of the pytest-dev organisation are:

• Having a central location for popular pytest plugins
• Sharing some of the maintenance responsibility (in case a maintainer no longer wishes to maintain a plugin)

This looks fitting to me - pytest-ordering is a popular plugin, and it would be a shame if it was abandoned because of missing maintenance.

The third possibility would be to create a fork, consolidate all the PRs, and create a new package (something like pytest-ordering2) from it, There are several PR contributors who probably could do this or contribute to it, but I think it would be much better to retain the original package (under the current location or under pytest-dev) and just add contributors/maintainers.

Good Job,I will focus it.

It would be super cool if the original package could be retained AND maintained.

@ftobia @mrbean-bremen did you find the time to discuss how maintaining this project will be organized in the future? @mrbean-bremen seems to be motivated, if there are no obstacles i think he deserves a try

[mrbean-bremen]

I just noticed that there is already issue #32 for moving this repo to pytest-dev, and at least there seems to be agreement that this is the way to go. Closing this issue - it seems to go nowhere, and there is already an appropriate issue that handles the transition.

[mrbean-bremen]

FWIW, I have created a forked version of the repository with some changes added from PRs, including a PyPi release.

Great stuff! Thank you @mrbean-bremen

@douzepouze - I have meanwhile moved that repo over to pytest-dev, and that link you cite pointed to my own fork (just corrected it in the comment). Just to avoid confusion :)
