I created

for it.

Please update this page with your thoughts if we should move a module into
attic or not at all.

RE: Reviewing "abandoned" sling modules

hello jörg.

thanks for picking up! good idea to create a wiki page. in general, there is no 
harm (and no shame) to put a module into attic - we can always bring it back 
without effort if interest comes back.

those libraries have to be kept active in my pov:

> ./org-apache-sling-testing-logging-mock,Date:   2015

this is still in use by the other mock projects and also customer projects - 
there was just no need to do any updates since them since it only contains a 
default logging conf for unit tests and dependencies in the pom.

> ./org-apache-sling-bnd-models,Date:   2016

this is an important part of the sling models build process and used everywhere 
- but there was no need to update it as no new bundle headers where introduced 
in the last years.

Reviewing "abandoned" sling modules

2023-10-14 Thread Jörg Hoh 
Hi,

I volunteered to provide a list of modules, which are not touched for quite
some time; the thought is that that these modules are also less used, and
there is a very low (potentially no) interest in maintaining them anymore.
If we have such modules, we should consider to move them into the attic,
and officially deprecate them.
Right now we have 300+ git repositories in github, and my gut feeling is
that the current focus is quite narrow on a few dozens of module, and that
we many modules which are not in active maintenance yet (that means, that
PRs by dependabot are not checked, etc.).

I found a wiki page [1] plus an accompanying ticket SLING-6264 [2] from
2016, in which we already had that discussion, but I think it's time to
repeat it.

To compile such a list as a starting point for the discussion, I just
checked all maven modules for the latest commit in the src/ folder
(ignoring all POM updates and any CI/CD settings and badges) and sorted
them by their year, just listing the ones which have the last commit before
2020. I used the command [3] to achieve it (works on Linux).

The list of modules, in which the latest commit into src/ has been made
before 2018 (that means no code change in the last 5 years):

Looking at those, a few might be referenced from other sling modules, but
many are standalone, and I am not sure if anyone is still using them
(xing-auth anyone?)

I understand that the mailing list is not necessarily the right place to
discuss if an individual module should or should not be moved into an
attic. So I will create a page in cwiki (or what's the system we should use
today?) and will create a table (just like [1]) and there we can annotate
each bundle if it's needed by a different Sling module (which is either
actively used/developed or in active maintenance), or if someone is
volunteering to maintain it.

[3] it can probably be done better, but worked for me: find ./* -maxdepth 0
-type d | while read a; do (cd $a; test -d src && echo -n "$a," &&git
log --date=format:%Y -1 -- src -- | grep Date); done | grep 201 | sort -t '
