That would correspond to option (1) of what I suggested. However, "rather than shutdown an existing codebase" suggests a false dichotomy. My suggested option (2) would not involve shutting down the existing codebase, at least not anytime soon. For reference, here are my two suggested options: 1. We find somebody that is qualified to maintain prometheus/nagios_plugins in place. 2. We deprecate prometheus/nagios_plugins and refer to a 3rd party integration (possibly based on forking prometheus/nagios_plugins) that is properly maintained and developed. In this case, I'd keep the existing repo around until further notice, but not accepting any contributions besides important bug fixes. > If this fork is better, maybe we can get them to merge everything and they > take > over? That might work. It would be good to get more opinions about this. I sensed some reluctance in the past of having many "mere" maintainers in the Prometheus GitHub org, without any intention to graduate to a full prometheus-team member. In this particular case, there is the additional concern that the nagios-plugins repository would naturally live outside of the Prometheus GitHub org. As said, it's only in there for historical reasons. Having said that, I'd be fine with keeping it there and recruit a maintainer in place. But I'd like to have some confidence that we are collectively OK with it. > Another option, we move it to prometheus-community. Yes, definitely. But again, it would be good to see more opinions about this. (Personally, I'm not a great fan of prometheus-community. I think the Prometheus GitHub org should contain core components of the ecosystem, and the "community" consists of all the hundreds of other repos that have to do with Prometheus. I don't quite understand why we need a hybrid in between. But that's just my personal opinion. I would not be opposed to having the "new" Nagios plugin in prometheus-community, if that's what everybody else wants and in particular if the future maintainer is also fine with it) -- Björn Rabenstein [PGP-ID] 0x851C3DA17D748D03 [email] [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Developers" group.
