Hi all, I have just tried to revive a not so old branch (feature/plc4net) and that is a LOT of work.
Considering how many super-old branches we have; I would like to propose to clean up all branches that haven't been touched for at least a year. (I know one or two I stripped from this list, because they were mine and I want to update them or they are release branches, which I think we should keep) Right now, we have 48 branches. The ones I would delete are: Stale for longer than 12 months: feature/code-gen-julian<https://github.com/apache/plc4x/tree/feature/code-gen-julian> (3 years) too-many-open-files<https://github.com/apache/plc4x/tree/too-many-open-files> (2 years) fix-netty-usage<https://github.com/apache/plc4x/tree/fix-netty-usage> (2 years) fix-bytebuff-leaks<https://github.com/apache/plc4x/tree/fix-bytebuff-leaks> (2 years) feature/big_integer_support_on_driver_base<https://github.com/apache/plc4x/tree/feature/big_integer_support_on_driver_base> (2 years) feature/optimizer-for-next-gen<https://github.com/apache/plc4x/tree/feature/optimizer-for-next-gen> (2 years) develop-test<https://github.com/apache/plc4x/tree/develop-test> (2 years) feature/link-layer-discovery-protocol<https://github.com/apache/plc4x/tree/feature/link-layer-discovery-protocol> (2 years) feature/profinet<https://github.com/apache/plc4x/tree/feature/profinet> (2 years) feature/plc-simulator<https://github.com/apache/plc4x/tree/feature/plc-simulator> (2 years) feature/bacnet-active<https://github.com/apache/plc4x/tree/feature/bacnet-active> (2 years) bugfix/close-eventloop-after-channel<https://github.com/apache/plc4x/tree/bugfix/close-eventloop-after-channel> (16 months) feature/parser-tracing<https://github.com/apache/plc4x/tree/feature/parser-tracing> (16 months) issue/PLC4X-258<https://github.com/apache/plc4x/tree/issue/PLC4X-258> (13 months) feature/grpc-proxy<https://github.com/apache/plc4x/tree/feature/grpc-proxy> (13 months) issue/PLC4X-252<https://github.com/apache/plc4x/tree/issue/PLC4X-252> (14 months) Newer branches, that I think might be obsolete or forgotten to be deleted ... feature/sparkplug-gateway<https://github.com/apache/plc4x/tree/feature/sparkplug-gateway> (9 months) fix/modbus_string<https://github.com/apache/plc4x/tree/fix/modbus_string> (is this obsolete? What's the status on this?) feature/profinet2<https://github.com/apache/plc4x/tree/feature/profinet2> (I think this is merged, right?) feature/updated-mspec-string<https://github.com/apache/plc4x/tree/feature/updated-mspec-string> (I think this is obsolete, right?) issue/PLC4X-304<https://github.com/apache/plc4x/tree/issue/PLC4X-304> (I think this is merged, right?) issue/PLC4X-311<https://github.com/apache/plc4x/tree/issue/PLC4X-311> (I think this is merged, right?) s7event<https://github.com/apache/plc4x/tree/s7event> (I think this is merged, right?) So, anyone wanting to keep one of these branches ... please reply in let's say the next 7 days and if I don't hear back from you, I'll delete the listed branches. Chris
