Обсуждение: Should pgAdmin 3 be saved?
Hello,
I know that since the launch of pgAdmin 4 in 2016, pgAdmin has been using a web-based model, as announced as early as 2014. You only need to do a little research on the Web to understand all the reasons behind this choice, which I do not seek to question.
However, I wonder if it would be relevant to keep pgAdmin 3 alive. I'm not so much talking about improving the interface of pgAdmin 3, but simply about keeping the software functional in new systems. I tried to install it in the latest versions of Linux Mint and Ubuntu, but the software keeps bugging, which it didn't do in older versions of the same systems 5 or 6 years ago.
Do you think there's a possibility that people could fix pgAdmin 3, even if it means making a fork or whatever? Because, although pgAdmin 4 and other tools such as OmniDB and DBeaver are probably excellent, some people, for various reasons, might want to continue using pgAdmin 3 in 2021. I'm not an expert in the field, but I'm thinking that maybe someone here might be able to save this nice little application software from disappearing by investing a few days to maintain it.
Thank you for your time,
GM

You'd probably be better advised to ask this on the pgadmin project lists.
Certainly, anybody who cares to fork and maintain pgAdmin 3 could do so.
It's a matter of finding people with the time, interest, and technical
ability.

Thanks for the answer, Tom. It's nice to get an answer so quickly ;) Following your advice, I will probably post something about this on the "pgadmin-hackers" list, a sub-list of the project lists dedicated to "pgAdmin development and patches." I'm just going to wait a little bit before, in order to let people react here and to avoid being on multiple mailing lists at the same time. I'm crossing my fingers that someone competent perceives the interest of not letting pgAdmin 3 die completely. It would be great to keep the good old PgAdmin App Version (aka PgAdmin 3) functional in parallel to the newer Hosted Web Version of PgAdmin (aka PgAdmin 4). regards, gm Le sam. 6 févr. 2021, à 14 h 26, Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us> a écrit : > > Gabriel Martin <grafik.muzik@gmail.com> writes: > > Do you think there's a possibility that people could fix pgAdmin 3, even if > > it means making a fork or whatever? > > You'd probably be better advised to ask this on the pgadmin project lists. > > Certainly, anybody who cares to fork and maintain pgAdmin 3 could do so. > It's a matter of finding people with the time, interest, and technical > ability. > > regards, tom lane
