End of Maintenance: hiredis & Co.

[Jan-Erik Rediger]

Hi Redis list!

I'm resigning as the maintainer of all hiredis-related libraries:

* hiredis
* hiredis-rb
* hiredis-node
* hiredis-py
* redis-rb

try.redis.io will keep running for now in its current form without updates.

If you depend on one of the above libraries and are willing to help and takeover these projects, please contact me directly.
At least hiredis and redis-rb still have co-maintainers.

Hello Jan-Erik,

thanks for the contributions you provided to the Redis community
during a long time.
All the best things for your future.

For the readers of this thread, I hope that new maintainers will bring
the projects forward, however about hiredis, I've the feeling that
this project should become officially part of the Redis project
itself, and be improved in order to constitute the base for every
other client by simply binding hiredis calls (at different potential
levels, socket, parsing, or full API).

I'll talk internally at Redis Labs to see if we can find the resources
to perform this switch.
I still think that the clients should follow mostly a Bazar model
because to handle all them is very hard, but if we could support
strongly just the C client itself, perhaps that could be enough for at
least the higher level languages to just bind the C client API, and to
constitute a reference for everybody else in terms of advanced
features like the Cluster client implementation (it is unlikely that
Java or C# clients be written as bindings to the C client, for
instance).

Cheers,
Salvatore

I think that for many people in this community it is an expected change, it makes me happy to know that we are in the same line. Thank you for saying it out loud and trying.

Exactly that is the point!

A Thousand Thanks!
