Hi,

I noticed some deprecation warnings in org-bullets' native-compilation log, so searched for an upstream fix.  What I found was that our current upstream source is a decade old:

https://github.com/sabof/org-bullets

and that MELPA provides their users with a package from this fork, which has activity from four years ago:

https://github.com/integral-dw/org-bullets

It looks like integral-dw's fork might now the defacto upstream, because sabof's project looks dead.  Maybe a PR/MR for some of those compilation warnings could be a useful way to test for a living and responsive upstream?

Regards,
Nicholas

Hi Nicholas,

Thanks for your investigation!

As I can see, org-super-star-mode (also from integral-dw) has more
features than org-bullets and better support (last commit was in Jan
2023). So, I guess, we could update org-bullets to integral-dw's version
and also package org-super-star-mode, and then, probably, deprecate
org-bullets in favor of org-super-star-mode. What do you think of the
proposal?

[super-star] https://github.com/integral-dw/org-superstar-mode

Cheers!
Lev

Hi Lev, Hi Nicholas,

If you are looking for replacements for org-bullets, there is also
org-modern (https://github.com/minad/org-modern), from Daniel
Mendler.

I've been using it happily for quite some time now.

Generally, Daniel Mendler's projects are very well implemented and
maintained. I maintain 4 or 5 of his projects in Debian and I have
very little work.

Best,

Aymeric

I've just uploaded integral-dw's clone of org-bullets. But I'm not going
to close the bug, since we probably still need to migrate to some
alternative.

Thanks to Nicolas and  Agon-Rambosson <aymeric.agon@yandex.com>:
