Can we adopt "orphan" Sage-related packages ?

[Emmanuel Charpentier]

Case in point:

During a few years, someone called Sho Katemori created and maintained a couple of (very) useful Sage-related packages fpr emacs users:

• sage-shell-mode: an emacs interface to Sage, allowing the integration of typeset maths and 2D graphics in an emacs buffer managing a Sage interactive session ;
• ob-sagemath, an org-mode interface to Sage, alowing integration of "live" Sage code snippets in a document ;
• anything-sage, auto-complete-sage and helm sage, Sage extensions of various emacs utilities.

Note: sage-shell-mode was a very welcome and timely  replacement for the old sage-mode package, deemed unmaintainable by its maintainer (Ivan Andrus). It seems to have become popular (for Sage-reasonable values of "popular", of course...).

However, Sho Katemori seems to have dropped off the Net: his (her ?) last contribution to his/hers Github repositories dates back to march 2018 ; an attempt to mail him/her is still unanswered. As a consequence, those package have some unanswered issues.

It seems that sage-shell mode has been somehow "adopted" by Sage : its current repository is now part of the Sage hierarchy on Github, which allowed Frédéric Chapoton, then myself, to integrate some change needed for Python 3 compatibility.

I'd like to propose similar change to ob-sagemath ; it is also possible that some other users may propose changes to the other packages (which are not (yet) my cup of tea...).

Hence the questions: 

• Can we "adopt" these packages as we did for sage-shell-mode ?
• If so, how ?

And, more generally:

• Do we have a policy about  external but sage-related software suffering "abandon" by their original authors/maintainers ?

Advice requested...

he probably was a PhD student or a postdoc there (Hokkaido University)

Could you email to this addess?

The easiest would be if the author transferred the github repos to
Sagemath github organization.
I'm cc-ing this to all the email addresses I found on the web...

If we don't get such a transfer done (which obviously needs the
author's involvement)
then we can just have copies of anything-sage, auto-complete-sage and
helm sage hosted.

ob-sage is harder, as it does not have a license...

I apologize for late reply and being inactive. I will transfer these elisp repos to sagemath github organization (and add license to ob-sagemath). To transfer them, I think first I have transfer them to an account who has owner or admin permission of sagemath github organization. It would be helpful to indicate to which account I should transfer them.

Best,
Sho

Thank you very much, Sho !

I think that Dima is the right interlocutor for that (I'm just a peon, here...) ; maybe contact him by private mailto give him the relevant infos ?

 

Best,
Sho

Again, thank you very much for your very useful contributions ! 

[Sho Takemori]

Thank you for the info. Then, I will transfer them to @dimpase on github.

[Sho Takemori]

To transfer elisp repositories to the sagemath organization, a second step transferring is necessary because I do not have a permission

(please refer to https://help.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/transferring-a-repository#about-repository-transfers

) for detail.

I will transfer five elisp repos (ob-sagemath, auto-complete-sage, company-sage, helm-sage, and anything-sage) to your account(@dimpase) on github. Then,

1. Please accept them.
2. And following https://help.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/transferring-a-repository#transferring-a-repository-owned-by-your-user-account, please transfer these 5 repositories to sagemath organization.
   

I am sorry for the trouble but thank your for your corporation.

Best,
Sho Takemori

Yes please, thanks a lot in advance.
Your contributions are very valuable for SageMath project.

Dear Sho, dear all,
the repos in question are now under SageMath Github org.

https://github.com/sagemath?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=&type=&language=emacs+lisp

Thanks again to Sho for the contributions to SageMath over the years.

Best,
Dima

PS. I notice that sage-shell-mode misses a license. Should we add one
(GPL 3.0, as for all the other emacs lisp stuff we have).

Thank you very much for transferring.

In the header of each file, it states it is under GPL v3.0, but to make sure I have just added a LICENSE file.

[Dima Pasechnik]

Thanks, great. Now Github also knows that it is under GPL 3.0.

Okay. Now these very useful tools can be properly maintained.

Thank you, Sho. Thank you, Dima.
