Sure, it's just that a lot of people out there are still running 1.5,
whether there is the possibility to upgrade or not. I would not drop
1.5 completely from our radar, but set it to something like "Critical
fixes only".

I agree to drop 1.4 support completely.

I don't use 1.4, but I do have a small reason to say please *do* mark
it as unmaintained.

The sustainability of haproxy is linked to the amount of work you (and
a /relatively/ small set of people) both have to do and want to do.
I would very much like it to continue happily, so I would vote to
reduce your mental load and to mark 1.4 as unmaintained.

Thank you for haproxy, and here's to a great 2018, with 1.8 and beyond :-)

Jonathan

In fact I don't worry too much about vandalism if we require an
authentication from one of the main public providers (eg: google,
github etc). Keeping the software up to date can be cumbersome except
if we find a packaged one giving rolling updates (eg: a docker image
or something like this), or a hosted solution. We do use mediawiki
on the same machine and while I can't judge for the maintenance pain,
it's really convenient to use and usable by everyone given that it's
the same soft used on the #1 world-wide site. I'd very much like to
stick to this one for this main reason.

> Is that a fully static page?

Yes, except the versions, dates and links which are updated via scripts
which run "sed" on the file every night.

That could also be an option. But I'm pretty sure that a number of users
could participate without even having to use git. For example look at
the architecture manual. It's now 12 years old. Several of us have said
a few times already that we need to rewrite it from scratch. The reason
why it never happens is that it takes a huge amount of work just to catch
up with what we currently have. With an easily accessible wiki, some end
users finding a solution to a problem could simply figure that instead
of documenting their solution on their internal documentation tool, they
could as well put it on the haproxy wiki and share it with others. It
could be a nice way to replace the arch manual over time, and this without
limiting ourselves to the smaller category of people able to use git.

I didn't intend to start up the discussion on this subject here nor now
by the way, I was just thinking loud :-)

Cheers,
Willy

I'm not sure whether a fully automated Wiki would reduce the maintenance
work, because of possible vandalism and you would need to keep the
software up to date.

Is that a fully static page? You then could put that into git, configure
a `post-receive` hook or set `git config receive.denyCurrentBranch
updateInstead` [1] and accept patches like you do for haproxy itself.

The ones without a "specifier" are the Debian based ones. This is a
convention for "official" [1] Docker images if they have both Debian and
Alpine based ones. You can check by clicking the link for e.g. the
"latest" image and checking the first line of the Dockerfile.

[1] "Official" meaning they are vetted and don't contain a username. In
some cases the authors maintain them, in some cases (e.g. haproxy) they
don't.

Do not worry, if I'm asking, it's also because it reached the point of
not representing any mental load at all anymore. Just like 1.5 by the way.
So really my proposal comes from the fact that it basically costs zero to
keep it.

Just checked there and not only I can only see "alpine" there, there's no

Oh bad, you're right. I wanted to even remove the "main features" part as
it's been totally outdated now. This page starts to age a lot. I really
think we should replace it all with a wiki so that many more people could
participate to the maintenance and keeping it up to date :-/

I can place two links, one with Alpine and the other one for Debian, even
if they point to the same location, this way it will fit ;-)

OK I'm going to see what can quickly be done to lift this page a little
bit.

Poll: haproxy 1.4 support ?

2018-01-02 Thread Willy Tarreau
Hi all,

while looking at what fixes to backport into older versions, I noticed
that 1.4 hasn't received a single fix over the last two years and that
apparently nobody's complaining (I'm pretty confident that the vast
majority of recent bugs did not even impact it).

This branch is already tagged "critical fixes only" on the haproxy.org
page. What I'm wondering is very simple : is anyone still interested in
this version continuing to be maintained, given that it was released 8
years ago ? Do some distros still ship it ? With the quick growth of SSL
over the last year, I suspect it will not be found at the edge anymore,
but it's possible that some people use it internally.

I don't mind having to continue to maintain it, especially if it's just
a matter of a few days of work every two years. I'd just prefer to avoid
doing it just for glory :-)

So please simply voice in. Just a few "please keep it alive" will be
enough to convince me, otherwise I'll mark it unmaintained.

Thanks,
Willy
