Use upstream quantile_estimator?

👋, @deadtrickster.

First of all, great work on this lib.

Recently, while compiling with OTP 26, we started seeing some quantile_estimator -related issues:

• float format -related
• auto-import -related

Since https://github.com/deadtrickster/quantile_estimator is an (outdated) fork of https://github.com/odo/quantile_estimator (and implements no novelty on top of it) I wonder if you'd be open to start using that version, instead of your fork?

Maybe @odo and you can even come to an agreement in sharing publishing rights for the lib. in Hex (it seems the one published there is the fork, not the upstream) and it'd help maintenance for us consumers, since:

• it's less confusing of a setup
• it's a single place to update and would prevent some workaround like overriding rebar3 options for what was mentioned above.

Thanks for taking this into consideration.

As per a more recent issue we faced, this would also solve using https://github.com/voltone/rebar3_sbom on quantile_estimator, pulled by this library, to identify the license as "MIT" instead of "N/A": https://github.com/odo/quantile_estimator/blob/master/src/quantile_estimator.app.src#L5.

Is there anything I can do to help move this process forward?

hello, how I add @odo to hex package?

[kivra-pauoli]

Lemme check. I've done this in the past, but don't remember the details by heart.

Edit

Using the hex plugin for rebar3:

rebar3 hex owner add -r <repo> <package> <username>

I'm not sure what the <username> is since I don't think it's possible to search Hex.pm by user.
<package> should be quantile_estimator.
<repo> I'm not sure it's the GitHub one or Hex.pm one.

Thanks for looking into this.

Happy to share the rights and make the package more compatible
