Talk:Grip (software)

Unmaintained but still available

Hi all, it's true that Grip is not being maintained and therefore out of the repositories of most Linux distributions. However, Gert van Dijk seems to provide a PPA that offers version 3.3.1 of Grip. Upon launch it says it's a development version, but it seems to work fine nonetheless.

On December 2016 a new maintainer picked up the development, forking the code to a new project site: https://sourceforge.net/projects/grip2/ where latest version is as of this writing v3.3.4.

Since I'm the new project leader, I should not be the one editing the article pointing to the new location, if that's even the correct thing to do. Solbu (talk) 23:37, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

This is most excellent news! Thank you, Solbu, I shall update the page. JanGB (talk) 09:05, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

And now I have accuired access to the original project page, and have released v3.3.5 on the original project. You might want to edit the article to reflect that. :-) I have updated the infobox with the new version and changed Status from Unmaintained to Active. Solbu (talk) 08:27, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
