I recently have seen, that the maintainership of textproc/xsv-rs is dropped and it could be deleted in the future. I could take the maintainership, even if it would be more cosmetic since the GitHub repo is frozen since 2018. There are a lot forks which may have improvements that could be somewhat useful, but even on MacPorts they ship the same version as we do.
Sorry, that latest release is from 2018, but the repo is frozen since April 2025.
We really need to start deprecating dead upstream projects, both xan which upstream recommends migration to and also miller ( https://miller.readthedocs.io/en/6.15.0/ ) which also seems to cover the same topic. Are these not suitable?
@Daniel, thanks for the information. I didn't know miller. The perspective of a dead upstream is a little bit new for me, since xv simply works, but it make sense to reference a more maintained utility since xv is written in rust and is this a very moving target, at least.
(In reply to Gordon Bergling from comment #3) Hi, Did this work out for you? If so I think it's suitable to deprecate the port and set expiration date to the end of the year. Best regards, Daniel
