@mbainter are you using this? I see there hasn't been a commit in almost a year, but it's not behind on PRs or issues. What would you like to see changed?

mbainter commented 7 years ago

I am about to, and saw that there hadn't been a commit in almost a year, while octopus continues to be actively developed and improved - esp the API. I don't yet have a need, but I figured I'd be running into them sooner rather than later and thought I'd get it on the list in advance of having contributions to make.

I may have mis-understood your intent, but I figured it would be worth reaching out to the current folks to ask them about if they'd be interested in participating in this effort with their work.

josephholsten commented 7 years ago

@mbainter absolutely! At this point, this org/repo is more about communication than anything else.

With sous chefs, we try not to adopt a project unless someone is willing to be the primary maintainer: essentially that they'll try to stay on top of tickets and coordinate any other contributors. Are you up for that? If not, we should see if any of the folks following the provider repo are.

mbainter commented 7 years ago

I'm really hoping that they're still interested in maintaining it, but would be interested in a project like this one that could provide community ownership. While I'm interested in contributing, I don't think I have the skill or experience in Go yet to take on being the primary - so if they're not interested this might have to wait.

@mbainter please keep me up to date on this, if someone's using unmaintained code that's very useful ammo to have.

tintoy commented 7 years ago

TBH I didn't think anyone was really using this, but I'd love for it to be carried forward (still happy to help out, too). Count me in :)

tintoy commented 7 years ago

Bump - any movement on this?

josephholsten commented 7 years ago

ok, I've given @tintoy access to transfer the provider here.

@mbainter what do we need to set up acceptance tests?

tintoy commented 7 years ago

Moved to https://github.com/terra-farm/terraform-octopus 😄

As for acceptance tests, I guess we'd need an Octopus server; it's the sort of thing we can set up for each run with Octopus and maybe Chef / Ansible?
