New mainainer of the library

[dsnipe]

This issue is a continuation of a discussion: #15 (comment)

@yawor, unfortunately, I don't have access to PyPi. @kalouantonis has it.
I can grant access to the repository to a new maintainer, or better - somebody could fork it and maintain it there.
In the company, we don't use Python anymore. I can put a link to a fork in README.
@kalouantonis maybe you want to take it?
Sorry for inconvinient, guys!

[yawor]

It seems that @kalouantonis is not very active recently. His last activity was at the end of last year.
I could take over but I don't have any experience with publishing to pypi.
@eerimoq mentioned in #16 that he could publish this, so maybe he could do it.

@yawor Feel free to take over. Publishing a source tar ball and possibly compiled binaries should not be too difficult.

I would be happy about a release, too.

[jsiverskog]

any news on this?

[dsnipe]

@jsiverskog
Not really. Nobody wants to take over.
I couldn't restore credentials from PyPi, so even can't bump a version there, unfortunately.

@dsnipe : @yawor or myself can do it. i'm e-mailing @kalouantonis regarding pypi, will reply here if i get any reply.

Hi everyone, I made a new account so I'll just paste my email reply here:

Hi Jacob,

I've been keeping track of github, but I've been unable to access my account because of data loss.

I handed over the credentials for PyPI and such to the JOHAN employees when I left the company. I'm not sure whether or not I can recover anything myself because of the aforementioned data loss and the fact that I usually delete company related stuff from my computer after leaving for liability reasons.

I'll see what I can do with the PyPI passwords or maybe if I can contact the JOHAN people directly. One last idea is possibly to do an account reset for the PyPI account which is linked to [email protected] (if I recall correctly) which the JOHAN employees should have access to.

Regards,
Antonis Kalou

hi,
we're a number of people that would like to see an updated version of
pyheatshrink on pypi (see
#17). can you do
it, or hand over the responsibility to someone else?

thanks, jacob

@dsnipe, could you help with the password reset?

[dsnipe]

@antoniskalou I personally don't have access to company's email accounts. Will ask about it if ti's possible.

I created a fork of this repository and released it on PyPI as heatshrink2. The code unmodified except renaming the package to heatshrink2. Maybe renaming it back to heatshrink later, but for now it's called heatshrink2 to avoid name clashes if both packages are installed.

PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/heatshrink2/
Github: https://github.com/eerimoq/pyheatshrink
