What's going on there for Qv2ray/Qv2ray?

[rockyoung]

Sorry for posting this question here couse I don't know where is the better place to ask about this, and I'm really curious about the statement of “Unlike Qv2ray/Qv2ray whose control has been forcibly taken away from the author by another organization owner.”

On April 27, 2021, DuckSoft, co-owner and community leader of the Qv2ray organization, kicked U-v-U (a.k.a gcc), main developer of Qv2ray who contributed over 95% of the code, out of the organization, over a dispute about a change the main developer introduced to the project.

The change, which induces Qv2ray to crash when the configured backend is Xray and the backend crashes, was intended as a boycott by the main developer against the Xray developer rprx over rprx's toxic behavior and negative influence in the community.

DuckSoft, who voiced his objection to the change and was ignored by the main developer, proceeded to revert the change without notice. The main developer force pushed to remove the revert commit, and was removed from the organization by DuckSoft for doing so "irrationally".

Since then, the development of Qv2ray at the Qv2ray organization has stalled. At some point, DuckSoft also stopped showing up in the community. The main developer continues development in his personal fork, and will soon release the first preview version of Qv2ray 3.0.

Where can I find details about "Developer rprx's toxic behavior and negative influence in the community" ?

There is no mean to keep on this topic. Let's lookfoward to the future.

@SmartPolarBear Despite his contributions to many projects and his expertise in censorship circumvention, rprx has always been a controversial figure in the community. His populist and nationalist approach has made him extremely popular among regular, mostly non-technical users, while being a narcissist frequently gets him into quarrels and disputes with other developers. Where there's rprx, there's chaos and division.

• Look for issues with comments from rprx. (e.g. The infamous License issue XTLS/Go#9)
• Look through the chat history in rprx's Project X Telegram group, where rprx sometimes posts his populist, nationalist and sexist opinions.
• There are also many internal discussions where rprx shows little to no respect for others.

https://github.com/moodyhunter/QvPersonal error 404 , what happen nowadays ?

@Apihplays The author doesn't like attention on his personal repo, and has decided to stop maintaining it. The code from that repo has been reinstated here and is released under the original name Qv2ray. Nightly builds and AUR package are also available for this repo.

@database64128 — thank you for your information. Are you only intending to build for arch, or will you build appimage's or some other generic static package that would work on e.g. Debian-based systems?

[database64128]

@iandol I'm currently not interested in maintaining anything outside the Arch ecosystem. If you're interested, feel free to do it. This project is open to contributions from everyone.

Thank you, I personally don't have the expertise to make a useful contribution, and I'm just grateful for all those who are keeping this project alive in whatever form it may be!!!
