"development has ceased on the original repository"

[sole]

Someone filed an issue complaining about aafm not working right in Ubuntu. Looking for where would that be coming from I found this fork of the project which is making me feel beyond sad.

What made you assume that "development has ceased"?

Wouldn't it be easier to ask? then maybe I could have told you: I am not actively developing this because it is good enough for me, but I am happily reviewing + merging patches and new features. Which happens to be the actual status of the project!

Now we have two repos which have diverged, and people are getting errors and coming to the original repo. Argghh!

Suggestion:

what about we make an organisation so development is "owner agnostic" and we both are owners of the project?

Not under sole anymore. We merge all the changes into one repo only. Everyone is happy.

Thoughts?

Hey sole,

When I submitted the pull requests to you back in August, and emailed you about them, if I recall I did not receive a response for a few days. During that time I reviewed the commits of the repository, and noticed there was only a single commit over approximately the past two years.

You are more than welcome to merge everything useful into your repo (it is your project, after all) and I will delete this one. I'll also share my process of creating Ubuntu/Debian packages so you too can distribute pre-built packages.

I appreciate your offer, however I am not interested in co-ownership. I'd prefer to keep it as a pet project (if the repo isn't deleted).

Well, I'm glad we sorted this out. I will try and see when I can merge things from your repo into upstream--I'll let you know when I'm done, because I'm busy in a way that is absurd at least until mid December.

That said, open source projects stop being pet projects once they become useful to more than you ;)

Now there are many repos around with a different amount of commits, and this branch is neither merged in. Any chance that this will be picked up again? I always wanted such a file manager, but looking at the issues on both repos doesn't look to promising

[sole]

I do not use the manager as often as I used to, and I also do not have time to do open source on my free time, for free.

I'll try and make it evident that I have paused development on the original repository; if anyone wants to continue the development it'd be fantastic. If not, well, that's open source for you 😉

To anyone who is still interested in using/developing an ADB file manager:

I've started a new project named adbfm in Go. It isn't ready yet, but you can follow this repository for updates:
