Has the 'haxe' team considered updating some 'haxelib' libraries?

1

I noticed that some libraries on ‘haxelib’ have not been updated for a long time, specifically ‘box2d’ and ‘nape’, which have not been updated for over 10 years

I encountered a lot of warnings while using ‘box2d’!
I encountered an error while using ‘nape’ and cannot use it!

The compiler team does not have the resources to maintain the haxelib libraries. They occasionally contribute to some, but it’s not something you should rely on.

What you can do:

  1. try to raise an issue on the library’s tracker and see if the original author can find the time to address it
  2. fork and fix the issue, as was done for nape:
    1. the fix: Update property declaration syntax for Haxe 4 compatibility by Gama11 · Pull Request #114 · deltaluca/nape · GitHub
    2. the project: nape-haxe4 (2.0.22)

What can be done is to request permissions to publish new versions of nape (or any abandoned lib) on the haxelib tracker.

@785597448 , the better place to discuss Box2D issues, is either GitHub Issues, (but I’m aware there are things preventing account level access to GitHub), or, given Box2D is an OpenFL repository, the OpenFL community, where you can present the issues you’re having.
