linkcheck.yaml file refering a users folder

[davidradl]

I notice that in the linkcheck.yaml file, we reference Chris Grote's and Peter Evans id. I assume this is incorrect.

  uses: cmgrote/github-action-link-check@master
#      - name: Create issue from file
#        if: success()
#        uses: peter-evans/create-issue-from-file@v2
#        with:
#          token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
#          title: Broken links
#          content-filepath: ./errors.txt
#          labels: documentation, consumability, tidy up

That is referring to a custom action ie not an official GitHub one. Just a link to a repo. In this case one that Chris built.

One can of course discuss with actions to use or whether we should move to odpi but is quite possible you'll find a variety of actions we need to use that are community contributions

So no error here as such

[cmgrote]

That's correct -- I made some changes to the original link checker to better meet our needs, so this is just a custom one that I've written (and hence it refers to that custom one).

I was expecting this to be an Egeria repo containing the custom github actions, i.e. something owned by the community not an individual. Am I missing something here?

[cmgrote]

As Nigel stated, it's pretty common practice to just refer to whatever actions are out there in the marketplace -- if you'd prefer to create a new repository just for this tiny action within the Egeria workspace, that's fine, but it seems like unnecessary overhead to me...

@davidradl I suggest we close this?

[davidradl]

@planetf1 ok if you are both happy.
