Libravatar.org is shutting down on 2018-09-01 #4252

Closed daviian closed 6 years ago

daviian commented 6 years ago

Libravatar is closing in september 2018. Unfortunately there is no direct equivalent. So we can remove support for it than.

It looks like there is some hope for it to continue: https://wiki.libravatar.org/shutdown-coordination/

https://pad.riseup.net/p/libravatar-future-irc There is a discussion this Sunday in regards to the future. Looks like fedora will probably take over hosting.

Note that libravatar support does NOT depend on any centralized service. It is a protocol description, anyone willing to publish his/her own avatar can do so. NOTHING relies on libravatar.org specifically, so there's no point in removing the support for the protocol.

techknowlogick commented 6 years ago

@strk yes, but if it shuts down then some code will need to be changed due to the fallback not being available. Good news though is that it looks like it wont be shutdown.

strk commented 6 years ago

The fallback is configurable, IIRC. Of course if we have a default we should make sure it is functional.

Shutdown not happening anymore (just migrating to a new owner)
