Is this repo dead?

[u382514]

I see a lot of pull requests and no movement since May.

[doonfrs]

I share the same concern.

[maurovitale]

I have the same concern too.

Unfortunately bosskmk has not been feeling well and haven't been able to find motivation to keep up working on this. Hopefully he will be back, or someone else can take over.

[u382514]

We're sorry to hear that and we hope for a speedy and safe recovery for @bosskmk. Take care of yourself first!

Is there a possibility that this repo could be opened up to having more maintainers? I think this package has become quite an important piece of a lot of folks solutions and having it locked to one primary maintainer has become too risky.

@u382514 ++
I hope he gets well soon 🙏,
What do you recommend? should we fork the package or clone it to a new repository? because we need to be able to publish it to pub.dev and keep it maintained, I see some useful pull requests waiting to be reviewed, should we open a discord or telegram channel? please write some ideas so we can move on.

I forked it, I published it under the name pluto_grid_plus
https://github.com/doonfrs/pluto_grid_plus
https://pub.dev/packages/pluto_grid_plus

I upgraded the dependencies, I will check the current pull requests and try to merge them in the new fork, please try to create the pull requests there.

You can find the same class in the new fork, if you find a problem please open an issue, and I will manage to fix it.

Thank you, I found It. But I'm not able to import It in my project like this:
import 'package:pluto_grid_export...

Please enable issues. I'd like to fix this null exception in PlutoGridStateManager:
for (var element in refColumns) {
row.cells[element.field]!

Instead should throw an exception saying which field was not found in which row.

Don't mean to be pushy @michaelbushe, but I haven't seen you reply to any issues on your branch. Is that where you're expecting us to open issues? (to note, the readme.md on the main page on pluto-grid-plus had a link to report an issue, but points back to the origin repository, not yours.)

@bastaware @doonfrs there are some stale issues within the new package as well now, is there any way we could alert the relevant author/owner of this fantastic, original package to pass maintenance permissions on to someone else? I volunteer to be one of the maintainers, as the recent 3.19.0 flutter sdk includes a breaking change re: RawKeyEvent in both this and the forked pluto_grid_plus package. I do not feel that a new package was needed as a better solution would be to pass maintenance on. For example, in the forked version, the export package was not published to pub.dev and there is no way I can see to retain this functionality. We are currently two hops deep in an unmaintained package hole. @bosskmk did great work and it would be sad to see the project wither.

[bastaware]

I've tried contacting @bosskmk directly via email, but he no longer replies. I'm afraid a fork is the only solution. Also, it's unfortunate that the new pluto_grid_plus also seems stalled.

[doonfrs]

@bastaware Hi,
The new package is not stalled, all are welcome to create pull requests, regarding some issues created, I will try to review them this week, but it depends on my workload.
Remember it is an open source project, it should be based on collaboration.
