Where is sr-speedbar.el upstream repo?

Where is sr-speedbar.el upstream repo?

[chen.mingzheng]

Hello hackers,

I'm add a new feature to sr-speedbar, but I can't find its upstream 
repo, Does anyone know where it is? Or should I just send the patch to 
this maillist?

Btw, the content of patch is:

It seems like this package is in the Emacs orphanage, which means that
it is lacking a maintainer.  According to emacsmirror.net:

"If other mirrored packages still depend on a package whose upstream
has disappeared or no longer maintains the package, then it is copied
to the Emacsorphanage. The Emacsmirror then mirrors that repository
from the orphanage. The orphanage repository serves as a temporary
home until someone volunteers to take over as maintainer. While a
package is in the orphanage, the maintainer of the Emacsmirror makes
an effort to merge pull requests from users."

So I think you should just send a pull request here:
https://github.com/emacsorphanage/sr-speedbar

Happy to help.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for reply. I noticed the repo you post, but it has not updated 
for a long time. The latest changelog in 
https://github.com/emacsorphanage/sr-speedbar was 20161025, but the 
version in my .emacs.d/ is 20210922. So I guess there may be the latest 
version somewhere, however google show me little infomation about that.

Perhaps the canonical version is the one on Emacs mirror, here:
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/sr-speedbar.el

I've Cc:ed the maintainer in case he has anything to add.

Re: Where is sr-speedbar.el upstream repo?

[chen.mingzheng]

I actually sent a PR to emacswiki, but its maintainer said it's not the 
right place to submit a patch there. The maintainer of emacswiki doesn't 
know where the repo of sr-speedbar.el either, and suggests that send a 
patch to emacs-bug-report maillist. So I now get here.

For convenience, here is the link for the PR: 
https://github.com/emacsmirror/emacswiki.org/pull/11

Thanks

Hello Chen,

there simply is no, and never has been any, repo for this little
project.  I wouldn't mind if someone created one though.  I just don't
want to maintain software I don't use anymore.

As I was walking down Stanton Street early one Sunday morning, I saw a
chicken a few yards ahead of me. I was walking faster than the
chicken, so I gradually caught up.  By the time we approached
Eighteenth Avenue, I was close behind.  The chicken turned south on
Eighteenth.  At the fourth house along, it turned in at the walk,
hopped up the front steps, and rapped sharply on the metal storm door
with its beak. After a moment, the door opened and the chicken went
in.

Hello Sebastian,

Tranks for reply. I will try to port the recent changes of 
sr-speedbar.el made in [1], then send a PR to [2], and expect [2] become 
the upstream repo of sr-speedbar.el for those who want to contribute 
code to it.

[1]: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/sr-speedbar.el
[2]: https://github.com/emacsorphanage/sr-speedbar

Thanks again

To increase the probability of your expectation being true, I'd
recommend putting a "URL:" header that points there.
And if you can arrange for the emacswiki.org copy to be either removed
(ideally) or updated to point to that same upstream, even better,

I'm curious why is that happens. What are the responsibilities for a 
maintainer and what gonna happens if someone want to be a maintainer for 
it. managing PRs, fixing bug for some PR and so on?

Nobody can sue the maintainer for not doing its job, so in terms of real
responsibilities there aren't any, but in terms of what's expected, it's
mostly to be responsive and to care about the package.

> and what gonna happens if someone want to be a maintainer for it.

The world will rejoice and there will be much celebration.

> managing PRs, fixing bug for some PR and so on?

That's right.

I'm curious about why the same-frame functionality hasn't been absorbed
into the speedbar package itself.  The appearance of a "project explorer"
that doesn't "dock" in the project frame has always been a jarring
disconnect from the way other IDEs implement this idiom for me.

Exactly what I was going to ask.  And it also seems that speedbar has
poor support for keyboard.  I wish I could use Dired on the symbols of a
C file.

AFAIK it's because nobody has submitted a patch to do that.
