Hey folks,

Over the many years, the KubeVirt project has accumulated a number of repos that have fallen into inactivity. To improve the tooling and monitoring of the project we think it's time to put these repos out to pasture and archive them.

Please have a look over the list and, if you disagree with any of these being archived, be sure to comment on the tracking issue:
https://github.com/kubevirt/community/issues/239

Please note any dissent before 25 July (3 weeks).

Thanks!

Andrew

[1] Well, 3 months ago. Any changes since then will not be reflected.

From my investigation[1] the repos, in order of longest time since they were updated are:
2 Years:
https://github.com/kubevirt/qe-tools

Hi,

This one is used atm by kubevirt directly (to create Polarion report IIRC)

go.mod: kubevirt.io/qe-tools v0.1.8

Thanks

I'm pretty sure this is not really working. As far as I know, ginkgo now just ignores custom reporter.

So you are saying that we can remove the dependency in u/s? Could you elaborate a bit?

Archiving a repository doesn't mean that it's going away, it's just transferred to read-only, which states that it's not actively maintained any more [1]. So, the repo can still be used - setting aside the fact that it might be prone to vulnerabilities. And it can still be un-archived, should need be.

I remember that we already discussed it a few months ago.

We double checked the results, and the conclusion is that the report from the v1 custom reporter is still working and it's still used in some environments.

It's still working because the Kubevirt test suite is using ReportViaDeprecatedReporter, see:

https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/blob/a5701acf63fd1188846a2f7bfc230febbdb7356f/tests/tests_suite_test.go#L139

According to its documentation, ReportViaDeprecatedReporter is currently deprecated (it will be removed in a future minor version of Ginkgo).

Hi Andrew,

I'm the owner of

https://github.com/kubevirt/test-benchmarks

I think we can archive it, it was an experiment but it was never used.

G'day folks,

Owing to some extended leave, it has been a bit longer than the original date of 25 July :)

In that time, it doesn't seem like this has attracted any further dissent. As such I have created this PR to archive all of the listed repos: https://github.com/kubevirt/project-infra/pull/3686

Please note, as Daniel mentioned previously, these can be unarchived at any time.

Thanks!
