How about this as an example ? : https://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/nginx
They set the version to 99.99.99 and made a notation that that the module is no longer supprted. “Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.” (Bill Waterson: Calvin & Hobbes) On Jan 13, 2015, at 11:37 AM, Jonathan Gazeley <[email protected]> wrote:
Hi folks, Got a question about the best way to handle Forge module migrations without screwing over anyone who uses that module. Some time ago I started using a Puppet module from Github[1], which was not available on the Forge at the time. I contacted the author to ask if he would consider publishing it on the Forge and he didn't respond, so I forked the code and published it on the Forge under my own name (jgazeley/selinux)[2]. Since then, it has racked up quite a lot of downloads. This week, the original author contacted me and said his module was now available on the Forge (jfryman/selinux)[3]. I sent a PR back to him with my changes, and I now consider his module to be the authoritative copy. There is no point in maintaining my fork and so I wish to remove my module from the Forge since it will no longer receive updates. But how can I communicate to end users who have installed my fork jgazeley/selinux that they should migrate to use authoritative jfryman/selinux instead? I don't want to simply delete it and have people stuck in a dead-end release. I could publish a new version of the module with the same code but an updated README that advises people to migrate. Any other ideas?
