I'm glad they mentioned that. Package managers and developers routinely neglect this possibility.
- fortran90 7y agoThis! One of my pet peeves is when someone recommends a software and then someone else looks at its GitHub commits or last release date and claims that the project is unmaintained because there has been no activity in it for a while. Some projects do not need any maintenance. They work as is. Lack of activity does not imply bad software.
