Is luakit dead?

Luakit shines/shone as the most succesful of the webkit-based vimperator adapatations, but there doesn't seem to happen very much i the project these days - in fact since 2012 or thereabout. Is the project dead? Does anyone know? If so, what's the replacement?

You might try the git version in AUR, it looks like it is still being maintained, but the stable version is possibly dated.

In the git branch "develop" there were new commits 12 days ago. On the other hand the "master" branch is stale since 2012.

The AUR package is pulling from develop.

The 12 day old git commit is just a URL change in the README file. It seems the development essentially stopped after january 2013.

Then again, is it such a bad thing? The html rendering is done by the webkit/gtk software, which is kept up to date, and the rest seems to work fine.

As long as everything else works, you just have the duty of configuring it to your likes with lua.
