After fixing #1008, I received the following error when running occ upgrade:

I too have this issue. The application manager says that 'news' has been enabled. Refreshing the page, it is still not enabled.

In the logs:

Guys? Do you have any comment on this? Should we downgrade or something?

[goopen]

I'm having this issue aswell - is this project dropped in favor for nextcloud news? I see activity on the NC news app all time but last commit here was 2 months ago now. Can we get a word on this?

[BernhardPosselt]

I maintain the News app and moved to Nextcloud. Unless someone from ownCloud starts to work on this, consider the repo dead ;)

[Dragnucs]

Is there a way we can install the nextcloud version on owncloud?

@Dragnucs the Nextcloud version should work just fine (for now) I think

[sprnza]

In a nutshell, what's wrong with ownCloud?

[Dragnucs]

Great. Thanks.

There are so many changes in Nextcloud compared to ownCloud however that I don't think this will hold for much longer. If you take a look at the commits in the ownCloud repo its basically only 3 active devs.

Nextcloud can reuse ownCloud code, however ownCloud can't because of its proprietary license. So my personal take on that is that unless a miracle happens, ownCloud is in a lot of trouble. You can ofc continue to use it but the bugfix rate is probably way slower.

[sprnza]

Thanks, I'll consider to move to NC10 then :)

[BernhardPosselt]

BTW: I put up a banner like here https://github.com/owncloud/news-updater but got contacted by ownCloud people that it's not ok since it's their repo. So I restored the old content and removed myself from the contributors file.

[johnseekins]

Solid answer.
