I passed on maintaining this package to prokoprandacek.

@itsme, no worries, mistakes happen. Thanks for reverting and definitely thanks for the effort of maintaining the package so far!

Thanks for reverting. I am willing to maintain this if you want to get rid of this.

I have reverted the package to jirutka's repository. A manual rebuild is mandatory for all users.

I apologize for not being cautious enough; I’ve been short on time recently and didn't give the update the attention it required.

Is anyone interested in taking over as the maintainer for this package?

Naeth commented on 2026-03-11 07:59 (UTC)

Yeah, jirutka isn't a very active maintainer. They apparently lack the time. However, they are a diligent one, and take the task very seriously.

I feel uneasy about relying on the hboetes repository. The unnecessarily rude attitude, squashing other people's PRs into their own, having a pretty major bug in important software? None of this screams "stable maintainer" to me.

itsme commented on 2026-03-11 06:55 (UTC)

@Naeth, I need to think about it. Something can probably be done with the bug.

itsme commented on 2026-03-11 06:49 (UTC)

jirutka's repository seems completely abandoned to me. There are no commits or releases in more than 3 years. I also want to mention that not only the fingerprint feature was added in hboetes' repository: https://github.com/hboetes/swaylock-effects/commits/master/. And I personally need the fingerprint feature. Anyway, could you please explain to me why the patch needs to be applied to code from the dead repository?

Naeth commented on 2026-03-11 06:23 (UTC)

I second this. Please revert upstream to jirutka. Apparently, the hboetes fork contains a major bug: https://github.com/jirutka/swaylock-effects/pull/76#issuecomment-4034903552
