  • rpclib is looking for a new maintainer

    Some years ago I created rpclib which, at the time, gained some traction. However, a planned hiatus turned into an indefinite one due to real-life obligations. I'm still getting new issues and PRs filed and I'd really hate to just archive the project without giving this a shot. I still think that RPC without code generation is a useful niche to fill.

    Thanks for all your hard work in the past years. I'm not able to take over as a maintainer, but you mentioned CI rot and I can take thorough look at that! I opened a small PR refactoring the AppVeyor configuration.

    The code is reasonably well covered with unit tests, although there are many things I would do differently if I were to start today (and indeed, this project itself was a huge learning opportunity for me). The cmake build is a mess and likely requires rewriting at this point, and the CI is likely a victim of code rot. Github: https://github.com/rpclib/rpclib
