Guilt Revival
A little over five and a half years ago, I wrote about retiring Guilt. Well, I have some good news! Earlier this year, I was contacted by Frediano Ziglio about restarting guilt development. After some discussions, we concluded that Frediano should become the maintainer. In other words:
Guilt is maintained again!
Not wasting any time, he collected and committed a number of fixes from the various GitHub forks out there, and tagged the v0.37 release. (There has been v0.37.1 since with a few minor fixes.)
The astute readers noticed that the above link is to GitHub. While I am not a fan, Frediano already maintains open source software on GitHub and therefore is familiar with it. That matters a lot. To make the decision even easier, repo.or.cz is geoblocking all of the UK because of the Online Safety Act 2023 requirements. (I don’t blame repo.or.cz for taking this step.) So as a result, the official repo is now on GitHub:
https://github.com/git-guilt/guilt
The old repo is now configured as a mirror of the GitHub repo, so it will continue to function, but I encourage everyone to update their git remotes.
The move is still a bit of a work in progress. I put a terribly hacky index.html on the old official page and a redirection for the manpages to https://git-guilt.github.io.
The source tarballs on my server (31bits.net) will continue to grow stale until we figure out a good way to redirect to the GitHub releases page.
