Both https://github.com/tukaani-project members accounts have been suspended. (to see that, you can list the followers of each account).


Github accounts of both xz maintainers have been suspended.


Not true, the original author wasn't suspended: https://github.com/Larhzu

https://github.com/JiaT75 was suspended for a moment, but isn't anymore?


GitHub’s UI has been getting notoriously bad for showing consistent and timely information lately, could be an issue stemming from that.


Yeah. Had a weird problem last week where GitHub was serving old source code from the raw url when using curl, but showing the latest source when coming from a browser.

Super frustrating when trying to develop automation. :(


Both are suspended for me. Check followers on both accounts, both have a suspended pill right next to their names.


Ah, thanks for correcting me there - really weird that this isn't visible from the profile itself. Not even from the organization.

The following page for each other show both accounts suspended indeed.

Lasse's account was restored


github should add a badge for "inject backdoor into core open source infrastructure"


Hey maybe it would get bad actors to come clean trying to get that badge.


These shouldn't be suspended, and neither should their repositories. People might want to dig through the source code. It's okay if they add a warning on the repository, but suspending _everything_ is a stupid thing to do.


Tools don't read warnings. Of course the information should not be hidden completely but intentionally breaking the download URLs makes sense.


This can also be handled relatively easily. They can disable the old links and a new one can be added specifically for the disabled repository. Or even just let the repository be browsable through the interface at least.

Simply showing one giant page saying "This respository is disabled" is not helpful in any way.


I'm already using it on a socket.io production server. Super-stable for days, and noticeably less cpu / memory usage. Great open source software !


Yep, thanks for being one of the first adopters :)

Like mentioned, it works as an optional engine in Socket.IO, Primus & SocketCluser (in which it will be default in version 5).

No code change, swap when you feel lucky :P


I want to use it with SockJS. Do you have any plans or interest in that?


the one for french services is much simpler ! alias le-gign-est-la='halt'
