[stephanos]

Me neither.

[denisbetsi]

Looks like the original creators gave up on this about 2 years ago

[egorFiNE]

Not exactly, the last update was a year ago. However this project is indeed depricated since node has sync compression routines for long time already.

[notslang]

you can officially deprecate it using this: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/deprecate

[egorFiNE]

@slang800 oh thanks, did not know about this one. I will deprecate this package.
