hiera-gpg, end of life.

[Craig Dunn]

Hi all,

For anyone that is interested, I've decided to officially bring to an
end the hiera-gpg[0] project and will not be maintaining it going
forward.

hiera-gpg was one of the first additional backends written for Hiera
and was released 4 years ago (was it *really* that long ago?). It
gained a lot of popularity solving the problem of storing sensitive
information in hieras YAML repo. Some time ago, Tom Poulton released
a new encryption based backend called hiera-eyaml[1] which aimed, and
succeeded, to provide a better implementation of hiera data encryption
with support for inline encryption rather than whole-file, and remove
the reliance on GPG and related libraries.

There hasn't been any activity around hiera-gpg for a while, but I'm
aware of a couple of people still using it in production. If you are
still using it I highly recommend changing over to hiera-eyaml.

If anyone _really_ wants to keep hiera-gpg alive then please contact
me privately

Regards
Craig

Thanks for going to the effort of providing it and making it available in the first place. Good job :)
