No objections from my side (and it can always be retrieved back from
git), I'm replying, because I want to suggest to take a look at the
other files in the folder as well:
- auth.cfg : 10 years and IMO explained well in the
configuration.txt
- check{,.conf} : 12 years
- debug* : 14 years
- haproxy.init : 4 years
- haproxy.vim : 12 years, apart from my clean-up commit from
last month. Definitely needs to be updated, possibly with some automation.
- init.haproxy : 14 years (why is there two 'init' files?!)
- ssl.cfg : 4 years with the most recent commit adding a
'verify none' which is questionable.
- stats_haproxy.sh : 12 years
- transparent_proxy.cfg: Effectively 4 years
- wurfl-example.cfg : Recent
So if all the outdated files or files with questionable use are removed
a fairly short list remains. The things that are useful (such as
haproxy.vim) could be moved to contrib/ and the examples folder outright
removed. As history has shown the examples tend to be neglected. Instead
the configuration.txt should possibly expanded for more complex
use-cases, because that one is actually kept recent.
