Cut a new gem

[simmerz]

Currently running a few versions behind on rubygems. @bharget could you cut a new gem?

[kwent]

I second this !

+1 @bharget

@bharget Thanks for this gem.

Is it still maintained?
Do you have any plans to update the icons to the latest version?

I asked @bharget if he could use some help maintaining the gem on twitter

[marckohlbrugge]

First things first, I appreciate @bharget's work on this gem 🙌

Having said that, it seems like his priorities have shifted and this gem might benefit from a new maintainer or a fork.

@jclusso, considering your work in your most recent PR, would you be open to hosting it as a fork? I think a lot of us would appreciate it.

[simmerz]

If @bharget could transfer it to us we could all maintain it. Would need access to continue publishing under the same name to rubygems too.

[jclusso]

@marckohlbrugge sure. @simmerz I'm already cutting a new gem as we speak. I just am not sure what we call it. It seems like nobody has been able to get him to do that based on:

Beyond that, I'd suggest calling it heroicon-rails. That is a kind of convention where a thing gets bundled specifically for Rails, and that's happened here by virtue of the Rails dependency.

@marckohlbrugge @simmerz that was already taken. I ended up going with heroicon-ruby since I couldn't think of anything else. https://github.com/jclusso/heroicon-ruby

[simmerz]

Perhaps we use that as a reason to reduce the deps down to railties as per the other PR?

[jclusso]

@simmerz hah we think alike!

Your repo doesn't have Issues enabled, so I'll post it here:

@chunlea has the heroicons Rubygem name for chunlea/heroicons-ruby and is willing to release it for this fork. I think it would be a great name, matching the icon set which is also the plural "heroicons".

What do you think?

[chunlea]

Hi, all. I am the creator of https://rubygems.org/gems/heroicons, but mine version never well maintained. And thanks for @marckohlbrugge to contact me, I am okay to release this name to the community. Let's me know what next we should do.

[jclusso]

@chunlea that would be awesome! If you add me as an owner on Rubygems that would be great. My username is the same as here, jclusso.

[chunlea]

@jclusso invite sent. And since my version is 0.1.0, for new version, we can bump that version number so we didn't break old one. And thanks for your contribution to maintain a up to date version.

[jclusso]

For anyone coming here in the future, I've created a fork, cleaned up the gem, and got it up to date. It's now being released under heroicons, thanks to @chunlea for his donation of that gem. Also @simmerz generously offered to help with maintanence in the future. I'll work to keep it more active.
