POP and Idem Projects Will Soon be Archived
Salt Project Community Members!
pop
and idem
projects, Python-based implementations of Plugin Oriented Programming (POP), have been in maintenance mode since the acquisition of VMware by Broadcom.
The projects are now considered unmaintained, and are lined up to be archived. All projects will remain public, read-only OSS repositories available under the Apache v2 licensing for anyone who would like to maintain their own forks.
GitLab vs. GitHub Project Hosting
All actively maintained repositories for Salt Project will only exist under the GitHub Organization: saltstack.
In the near future, all projects under the following GitLab groups will be archived:
- GitLab group:
vmware/pop
- GitLab group:
vmware/idem
- GitLab group:
saltstack
(projects have already been archived)
