Hi all, the current release package contains a number of modules that are un-maintained and for which we don't have a build actually running (they are depending on online tests which are not setup). The last part is the one that worries me the most, a module without a dedicated maintainer can still stay around just because its tests are covering it... sort of "self-serving", until there are specific troubles with it, I would not go and propose a demotion (sample module in this situation is gt-graph).
Here is a list with some observations. *imagemosaic-jdbc* We already discussed it, inquired for this one on the users list and on tickets of people showing interest on the module, nothing came up, the module is un-maintained and will stay that way. Time to demote it. *epsg-postgresql* Has been kept around for a while, but no tests are run. Maybe we could setup an online build for it as a github action. Could be hard, if tests in it are actually failing (nobody knows). *jdbc-db2* Has not been touched for years, the last actual DB2 related change goes back to 2015. I believe no-one among the current developers has experience with it, and has been driving zero business flat. I've inquired on this ticket to see if we can get a new maintainer or at least a build to check if things are still working: https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOT-6584 *jdbc-mysql* Same situation as the others. I might try to setup a build and see how bad it is, if we're not too far away, I'd create an PR build check for it and keep it (otherwise, bye bye) *jdbc-spatialite* Think we already decided it should be demoted time ago, no maintainer and outdated spatialite version included in the jars. Guessing it did not happen yet due to lack of time. Gonna put some efforts towards making it happen *jdbc-teradata* Same situation as db2 I believe. Tried to connect to the original author on this S.O. thread, so far got no answer: https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/268871/tessellation-in-teradata-is-deprecated-but-geoserver-expects-it-to-improve-spat?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter I'd say, move to unsupported if nothing changes in the next couple of weeks. Comments welcomed! Also, can you think of any other module lacking both maintainers and tests actually running? Cheers Andrea == GeoServer Professional Services from the experts!
