With the main paperclip branch being deprecated and unsupported, I think it would be beneficial to have paperclip-vips migrate to using the supported branch, kt-paperclip.

We have looked at swapping this over but unfortunately we have a lot of other dependencies that rely on the original gem file.

Are you using this gem in production @todd-tsu ?

Will also need to bump the version, probably a major as it changes the main dependency


```ruby
gem 'paperclip-vips'
gem 'paperclip-vips', :git=>'https://github.com/tsu-social/paperclip-vips.git'

With paperclip deprecated, we quickly moved to kt-paperclip. I'm happy to create a new gem entirely for this that can pull from any changes if you think that's a better way to go, like kt-paperclip-vips.

Not yet. We are evaluating it for production use though. If we end up not using it, I wouldn't be the right choice to maintain any upstream changes though.

@todd-tsu I think it makes sense to fork this and run with kt-paperclip-vips, so it is clear it relies on kt-paperclip.

If you are still evaluating image libraries I highly recommend giving shrine a go - it is great and we are using it in our new projects. It is super customizable and has vips support out of the box.
