Therefore this is a final poll for objections, before pushing harder
on the removal of the whole set of:
- vmbuilder
- sandbox-upgrader
- auto-upgrade-tester
On this thread there were no reports on any active users of the tools so
far. Still looking for any feedback on that part - also a nack to
confirm no more (or never) using it will help the decision.
We migrated auto-upgrade-tester to a new infrastructure a while ago and
completely stopped using it. sandbox-upgrader has never been used by the
QA team. vmbuilder is not used in any of our active projects and is safe
to remove on our side.
In addition it turns out that due to issues in vm-builder a removal was
considered in zesty as well [1]
Yet OTOH there was some feedback on a number of forks.
- by Vacheslav Anzhiganov [2] [3] [4]
- and Chris Puttick [5] [6]
I appreciate that you two picked up the work on that, you might even
combine your efforts.
The latter seems slightly more active looking at the changes.
Also Serge offered to help SRUing fixes if someone else ensures that the
latest upstream works, thanks Serge!
But since we need to make a decision I wanted to ask you two directly,
if you are willing to continue to maintain it as "the upstream" of the
project, handle bug reports and so on.
- If you do so it would be great if you could pass through [7] and try
to address some of them, coordinate with Serge and me to upload a new
one to Artful after this and we can consider SRUs from there
- If not - fine as well - we will remove it from the archive and it can
continue to live outside of the archive (you could consider [8] as
packaging alternative if you'd prefer a more direct way to deliver your
code).
