At KDE we have a GitHub mirror. One of the problems about having a mirror is that people routinely try to propose Pull Requests over there, but no one is watching, so they would go stale, which is not good for anyone.
What no one? Actually no, we have kdeclose, a bot that will go over all Pull Requests and gracefully close them suggesting people to move the patch over to KDE infrastructure where we are watching.
The problem is that I'm running that code on Google AppEngine and they are cutting support for the old Go version that it's using, so I would need someone help me port the code to a newer Go version.
Anyone can help me?
P.S: No, I'm not the original author of the code, it's a fork of something else, but that has not been updated either.
Update: This is now done, thanks to Daniele (see first comment). Mega fast, thanks community!
Hello, my go-fu is a bit rusted but I would like to help. Following here[¹] I run the suggested tool `aefix` that changed the imports and fixed some types.
ReplyDeleteYou can find the changes here:

From [²] it seems that it's not enough to just run the tool above, but my problem here is that I never used Google App Engine: do you know if they provide a free tier where I can make tests?
HTH,
Daniele

Yes, there's totally a free tier, it's what i'm using :)
ReplyDeleteDaniele that was it, it compiles now :)
ReplyDeleteWhy not just disable pull requests?
ReplyDeleteBecause unless something has changed recently, you can't
ReplyDeleteOops sorry I was thinking of issues. Guess we need to vote on https://github.com/isaacs/github/issues/1191
