Why is the phenomlab/fancybox-wrapper repo removed?

[ihhddis]

Today I did a composer update and I got an error for this, I do not understand why you have removed it, even if you do not use Flarum you could stop maintaining the package, why remove it? it had more than 1000 downloads this hurts many people, I do not find any logical reason for this.

Actually, it looks as though Darkle has already done this

@ihhddis it’s been removed as I no longer use Flarum and have no intention of maintaining it. The github repository is now private and the extension has been marked as abandoned on packagist. In addition, I asked for my extiverse account to be deleted as part of my departure.

This extension has been forked several times. Once by Littlegolden so could easily be reinstated by sometime else.

My apologies if this is inconvenient but I’ve no intention of maintaining something I no longer use myself.

@ihhddis I’ve discussed this with @katos who has agreed to assume responsibility for this extension. He’ll be uploading at some point over the coming days, and I expect he’ll make an announcement on Flarum. Essentially, it should be a simple case of

composer remove phenomlab/fancybox-wrapper

Then

composer katosdev/fancybox-wrapper

Up to @katos though.

@phenomlab indeed, as Darkle has continued this I won’t be hosting the repo any longer but will happily assist with its continued development

@katos Thanks
