That was also my guess, but is that the case?   Maybe there isn't any interest?

Nyall only needed to remove his repo to make it disappear completely.  There
apparently wasn't a single fork from contributors - not one.

I've built SAGA for years for OSGeo4W and have just updated it to the latest
version in response to a quick release they did, when we reported with the last
version of the plugin an issue.

More of a coincidence, I'm not a user either.   So I didn't follow SAGA or the
plugin much and with the repo gone it's unclear to me, whether it actually was
much work to maintain the plugin or just a lack of interest.

But I'm a bit suprised that the repo wasn't just archived, but removed.



Jürgen
