Is django-autoslug dead? about django-autoslug HOT 13 CLOSED

Hi all,

Sorry for the delay. The project was half-dead, but I'm going to finalize the transfer to JazzBand now. It may be too late, but let's see.

As for LGPL, I agree to change the license to BSD, but other contributors will have to also agree with that. I'm suggesting to do this after the transfer.

Apologies for the delay, folks. Django 2.x support has been merged via 4dc7508.

Don't fork this project. Fork https://github.com/django-extensions/django-extensions 's AutoSlugField and improve that, or send PR's upstream to django-extensions directly. The license on this project really screwed me up for the next few days...

from django-autoslug.

LGPL? Ahhh why >_<

Didn't know that.

If it's going to transition, it should be BSD, MIT, Apache2, etc. Derivative clauses can really mess stuff up

from django-autoslug.

Okay - I have now transitioned my projects to django-extensions which I already used for other purposes. Their function django_extensions.db.fields.AutoSlugField does exactly the same for my projects.

For others reading this thread / project - feel free to move to another app. This one is definitely dead by now (another ~6 months has passed by) and there is other apps out there doing the same.

Hey friendly reminder, after a week? still travelling?

I have to say, after following this saga for a while, it's beginning to look like a fork is going to be necessary, at least until @neithere returns from his sojourning. He's not been active on Github since July, and has ignored this project since proposing it to Jazzband in February.

The project is LGPL, a fork isn't a problem. I wonder, should you reach out to the jazzband thread and see what they would recommend? Perhaps they would be interested in facilitating a fork?

@danniranderis but no unique_with ... :_(

from django-autoslug.

Yes - feel free to create an issue/feature-request in their github-project. Maybe it can be added at some point. :-)

I have also seen projects make a move towards awesome-slugify: https://github.com/dimka665/awesome-slugify maybe they have that feature - I'm not sure. Personally i'm not using that in my projects, so I haven't looked for it.

@neithere @justinmayer it's been 16 days since this ^ an urgent updated release with the fix for Django 2.0 is needed, can we rush a little bit on this? is just one line guys, come on, I'd fork this but some packages (django-cities-light) relies as a dependency of this project, don't miss understand me I really value the work you have done here, and I just want to move this in order to not let die this project and continuing relying on this.
