Eclipse DataEggs Termination
Termination review record: https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.dataeggs/reviews/termination-review
The Project Lead of the Eclipse DataEggs project is requesting to terminate the Eclipse DataEggs [1, 3] project.
Here is some context information:
- DataEggs relies on a tool (Alambic [2]) that will not be maintained anymore.
- DataEggs relies on an external service (the server running Alambic) that has been decommissioned. Setting it up on another node proved to be.. very difficult.
- The PL does not have the time to update the whole toolchain, and there is no other party interested in doing so either.
- Although people initially seemed to see value in DataEggs, the project has not been widely used -- to his knowledge at least.
- [1] https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.dataeggs
- [2] https://alambic.io
- [3] https://www.eclipse.org/dataeggs/
What we need to do:
- Inform PMC
- Inform the Eclipse DataEggs community through the public ML
- Archive the project (PMI and DB)
- Retire PL and mentor relationships (DB)
To be completed by Webmaster
