Is anyone still working on this?

[ghost]

Hello,
last commit is over a year ago, is this project abandoned or will it be picked up again?
And would this still work or would there be problems installing because it tried to pull a version that is too old of habitica?

I'm not associated with the dev, but I can confirm it installed and is working fine on NixOS 19.03 fwiw

The project is semi-abandoned, since there was a major upstream release which restructured packaging.

I've started with the rebase of the patches, but this is a effort of like at least a week full time and I didn't find time to allocate for this (although it's still on my todo list).

If you want to pick up where I left off, here's the working tree diff: https://gist.github.com/aszlig/8c4c278a9c0b7daa370201afea0b5315

Edit: As @jellykells already mentioned: It works fine even with more recent NixOS versions, although the tests currently do not evaluate (this is because Perl-based tests were removed in NixOS 20.09) and there are a few attributes to fix.

Edit 2: I just pushed some fixes, so tests are now run against NixOS 20.03 and NixOS 20.09. While this doesn't upgrade the actual game, it does make it possible to run on latest NixOS releases without needing to apply large style guerilla patching.

Is there any chance of this project being updated for 21.11? With the testing fixes, is this still semi-abandoned, or is the issue just the outdated version of the habitrpg?

+1, I'd love to host this myself as well. I might look into at least getting a docker container built with nix - it should be possible to version lock to an older version with flakes, but I'm not sure if that's a great idea for security reasons.

No pressure @aszlig, but it would be nice to know if this is still on your todo list - I might be interested at giving a hand at some point.

It should work and if it's not a publicly accessible instance, it should be fine I'd say.

My todo list is currently so filled that I don't even get to my regular Nix(OS) stuff, let alone any other private fun projects. So to be honest: It's very unlikely that I find time to work on this in the foreseeable future, so I'd treat this project as abandoned.

That said, if someone wants to pick it up, I'm open to answer questions if they'd arise.
