Pulp_ostree - does anyone use it?

Hello all,

The pulp_ostree plugin has been languishing for a while. The main driver for its creation changed, a while back, to no longer require it, and the Pulp team has been focused on more-relevant content-types.

So - we are planning to archive this plugin and remove it from the oci-images for Pulp. If we’re not going to be able to maintain it, we don’t really want to be publishing it.

On the other hand - it’s been pointed out that it is Rude to not see who (if anyone?) in our community relies on it first, though!

So, two questions:

  • do you use pulp_ostree? (Note - not “do you have it installed” - do you actually use it, with its current functionality)
  • are you happy with its current state

and, one big question - if the answers above are “yes” and “no” - would you consider becoming a maintainer for that plugin, so it gets enhancements?

Thoughts, anyone?

Katello has as post about OSTree being archived here: Pulp OSTree plugin archival planned - Development - TheForeman

We’re asking about concerns there and if anyone is interested in picking up maintenance of the OSTree plugin.

OSTree has seen very little use and we fully understand that having it around unmaintained is a problem :+1:
