Telethon is alive on Codeberg. Its GitHub repo has been archived since February

Описание и применение

Разработчики часто полагаются на статус репозитория GitHub, но ключевые библиотеки Telegram находятся в архиве, хотя активно развиваются на других платформах. Проверка пакетов в PyPI/npm и местоположения поддерживающего их автора позволяет точно оценить активность.

Задача

Developers rely on GitHub status to judge library health, but key Telegram libraries are archived on GitHub while still active elsewhere, misleading users.

Результат

By shifting focus from GitHub to package registries and maintainer locations, developers can accurately assess library health, avoid stale dependencies, and choose actively maintained Telegram libraries.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Query the package registry (PyPI or npm) to get the latest release upload time.
• 2. Locate the maintainer’s active hosting platform via README or profile clues.
• 3. Examine monthly download trends for steady activity.
• 4. Verify if the issue tracker is open or closed. If closed, the repo is likely archived.
