Move obus to ocaml-community

[meadofpoetry]

Propose to move a project to ocaml-community

Project name: obus

Initial author(s): Jérémie Dimino (diml)

Current URL: https://github.com/diml/obus

License: BSD

Description: Pure OCaml implementation of D-Bus IPC protocol

Do the current maintainer(s) agree with the move: yes (https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/should-obus-be-moved-to-ocaml-community/3946)

New maintainer: I could take it so far (Eugene Bulavin @Freyr666)

[pmetzger]

This seems fine by me. @diml seems to agree as well. If @diml could handle the move of the repository to ocaml-community, I will then give @Freyr666 full rights over it as the new maintainer.

I just transferred the repository to ocaml-community

[pmetzger]

@Freyr666 I've added you as a collaborator. You should now be able to go through the checklist in the README (esp. section 4 of "How do I submit a package for inclusion?").

[pmetzger]

Oh, and @Freyr666, you may want to submit your updates initially as pull requests just so that other people get a chance to glance at them.

[pmetzger]

@Freyr666 how is this going?

[meadofpoetry]

@pmetzger I was a bit busy this week. I'll start with updating in the next few days.

[pmetzger]

@Freyr666 Thanks! Do let us know as you make progress.

[meadofpoetry]

@pmetzger Ok, so I've made a 1.2.0 release. I'll made as few changes as was possible, so I'll publish it and let the people test it, I suppose. I think this issue might be closed.

[pmetzger]

@Freyr666 Were all the steps in the guide followed? I don't see a CODEOWNERS file for example.

[meadofpoetry]

@pmetzger Ah, yeah, sorry, I'll add it right now. Whom else should I add to CODEOWNERS?

[pmetzger]

Yourself, @diml and myself would be a good start. You should also make sure all the other steps in the meta README are followed.

[meadofpoetry]

@pmetzger ok, I've added it. How could I turn CI on? I have a travis file, but not sure what to do next.

[pmetzger]

I'll turn Travis on.

[pmetzger]

It's on already, it just doesn't have a badge...

[pmetzger]

I've now added a build badge to README.md

[pmetzger]

...and the build passes.

BTW, in addition to going through the README.md checklist, we should probably go through the open issues, there aren't many.

[meadofpoetry]

@pmetzger Well, I've checked the references (I hope I didn't miss any) and published the packages. I haven't updated the 1.1.5 version, since it wasn't hosted on github.

As for the issues, should the outdated issues be closed? I don't see any valid issues safe for the last one, which I would like to address in the next release.

[pmetzger]

Cool on the new release. Did you update the opam repo as well?

On the open issues, if any issue is clearly outdated, then post something to the issue saying "was this fixed" (or the equivalent) and if there's no reply to the contrary, close it after a couple of days.

@pmetzger >Did you update the opam repo as well?

I updated paths in obus.1.1.6, obus.1.1.7, obus.1.1.8 packages, and published obus.1.2.0. I didn't touch the obus.1.1.5 since it wasn't hosted on github.

Reasonable.
