Action version updates - not duplicate

[ulgens]

I found multiple issues / PR about action version updates. These are got closed because they are duplicates:

• Bump up setup-python #175
• Update main.yml #181
• Update main.yml #182
• Upgrade from github action v3 to v4 #186
• Update README.md #192
• Update main.yml #193

This is not the newest one; I think this was the one being referred to as the original for some:

• Update action checkout, cache, python #188

but, it got closed too. In the end, that update is still not merged.

@asottile I can create a new PR or we can open #188 back.

read the room

@asottile Can you please explain what you mean? The tool is not dead; thousands of projects are still using it, and the only alternative recommended by it is the commercial version itself, which doesn't solve the need if you are just looking for a simple way to run pre-commit without any additional tool or service. And the readme says it's in maintenance mode, but any attempt for maintenance gets rejected for no clear reason for a while.

I'm not coming here and yelling "WHY DON'T YOU RELESAE ANYTHING!?". There is a clear opportunity to improve, and people are willing to help with it. I think this calls for clearer conversation compared to "read the room" or "go search" (for sth that doesn't exist anymore).

you seem to be so upset that you missed #190 ?

[ulgens]

@asottile I don't see anything to be upset about, but I agree that this communication would have been more effective. Thanks for the link and your time.

I didn't miss it. It doesn't cover all proposed changes from the rest of the discussion, so I was thinking there should be another PR to cover the rest. I can still do that if you think it's fine, or we can leave it there as is.

please don't
