Almost 6 months no PRs merged, dead project? #2131

There hasn't been much activity on etcd operator lately so I'm wondering if there are any plans to keep supporting it, or should it be forked and maintained elsewhere.

There are even community patches like this: https://github.com/coreos/etcd-operator/pull/2074 https://github.com/coreos/etcd-operator/pull/2072 that have been made but not merged or commented on in a while.

Looks like the last PR that was merged was May 23rd https://github.com/coreos/etcd-operator/pull/2082

Are the plans to get these changes moving again? I'd like to use this project more and maybe contribute but the lack of merging that is going on makes me apprehensive.

Maybe it can be transitioned over to https://github.com/etcd-io?

Or at least MAINTAINERS file should be updated or something.

Any word on this?

Yea its very unfortunate to see this project is unmaintained at the moment, for now we have created a fork at https://github.com/cbws/etcd-operator. We have already merged in some PR that were waiting to be merged here.

I have now written a blog post about our reasoning: https://blog.cloudbear.nl/reviving-etcd-operator/

Happy new year! :) @hongchaodeng maybe could give us some insight ? Thank you!

hongchaodeng commented 4 years ago

Hi,

I left CoreOS (the original company where I created and sustained the project) about two years ago. After that I didn't have any access/permission to this project anymore. Feel free to fork this project if there is no ongoing support :)

jbguerraz commented 4 years ago

Thank you for your answer @hongchaodeng :) We'll keep an eye on this operator and see how it goes!

This is a tragedy:(

It would be great to know as this is a project I use. I was at kubecon in nov/2018 and there was a meeting about it, the presenters said the had alot of ideas and worked planned for it. After that though the redhat buyout of coreos happened and I'm guessing this fell off the radar after that.

In the blogpost where Red Hat talks about contributing the project the CNCF they mention their plan to continue work on the etcd Operator:

Red Hat plans to continue extending etcd with the etcd Operator to bring even more security and operational ease, enabling users to configure and manage the complexities of etcd using a declarative configuration that creates, configures, and manages etcd clusters.

Can anyone from Red Hat provide an update? It's worrying that it is growing more and more unmaintained every day.

Does anyone at redhat look at this?
