08:05 <fossdd> hey, do you know if or when the will be a new release of tvheadend? the last release is from 2017 and a new stable release would help us packaging at Alpine Linux. thx

09:11 <htsbot> [slack] <chewitt> the current plan of non-record is to figure out some of the documentation and translation juju needed for a release

09:12 <htsbot> [slack] <chewitt> once this is done we’ll bump to v4.4 and v4.3 (allegedly the development version with v4.2 still being ‘stable’) is unsupported

09:12 <htsbot> [slack] <chewitt> but with current skeleton staff the current thought is to run v4.4 as a rolling release

09:13 <htsbot> [slack] <chewitt> which is essentially what we’re doing with v4.3 already

09:14 <htsbot> [slack] <chewitt> the v4.4 label is just a “line in the sand” moment

09:15 <htsbot> [slack] <chewitt> if you want to deprecate v4.2 and call v4.3 ‘stable’ as an interim measure, we’re cool with that

09:16 <htsbot> [slack] <chewitt> our website already advises anyone looking for downloads to use v4.3 <https://tvheadend.org/p/downloads>

09:19 <htsbot> [slack] <chewitt> FWIW, I removed the ‘alpha’ label from v4.3 in LibreELEC’s add-on repo <https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/8829>

09:20 <htsbot> [slack] <chewitt> and I’m reminding myself that I promised to drop v4.2 for LE13 release .. I’ll send that PR tonight

09:23 <htsbot> [slack] <chewitt> indeed <https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/community/x86_64/tvheadend> looks dated 🙂

09:24 <htsbot> [slack] <chewitt> if you’re going to be the maintainer .. feel free to drop an email to info@ so we can be in easier contact

09:56 <fossdd> ah, okay. i guess i'm going to wait to 4.4 and upgrade to it.

09:57 <fossdd> i already messaged the current maintainer if it's fine with me taking over his maintainership. once he's fine, i can message you.

09:58 <fossdd> i guess alpine switched once to 4.3, but switched back to the 4.2 releases because they were newer

09:58 <htsbot> [slack] <Flole> We can also host alpine packages on our cloudsmith repo, we just need to put the code to build them in our GitHub actions file
