[Associated vote ended on 2023-08-09] Unmaintained collection: netapp.um_info

[mariolenz]

Summary

The netapp.um_info collection looks unmaintained / abandoned, it has:

• no new commits since September 2022
• no release on Galaxy since version 21.8.0 nearly 2 year ago
• no reaction on Consider using true/false for all booleans in docs ansible-collections/netapp.um_info#8
• no reaction on Unmaintained collection: Removal from Ansible (community) package ansible-collections/netapp.um_info#9

Additionally, when I run ansible-test sanity it seems to fail with the following errors:

ERROR: Found 4 pylint issue(s) which need to be resolved:

The Bullhorn issue #106 2023-06-23

[mariolenz]

@ansible-community/steering-committee Vote happens in #261

[mariolenz]

I counted votes:

7 x +1 from SC (mariolenz felixfontein russoz gotmax23 briantist markuman Andersson007), no -1 from SC and 1 explicit "no vote" from SC (thaumos)

no votes from community

Can someone from the @ansible-community/steering-committee confirm?

[russoz]

I can confirm the 7 ayes and one no-vote from SC, no votes from community.

[mariolenz]

In that case the proposal has been accepted and we will announce to remove the collection from Ansible 10.

Thanks all!

[felixfontein]

This collection had a new release in September, but that release wasn't tagged (ansible-community/ansible-build-data#223 (comment)). There has been no reaction so far in the corresponding issue in the repository either (ansible-collections/netapp.um_info#10).

[mariolenz]

IIRC we've kept issues like this one about collection removal from version X open until X has been released. However, since we've moved discussions to the forum and the collection has been removed from 10.0.0.a1, I think we should close this even if 10.0.0 hasn't been released yet.

If someone wants to discuss cancelling the removal / re-adding of the collection, please open a topic in the forum.
