It's been a while since libvirt-snmp was actively developed. Now it receives only libvirt-ci related commits. The code compiles with net-snmp-5.9.3 but the freshly released net-snmp-5.9.4 [1] breaks compilation [2]. Now, libvirt-snmp has this crazy architecture, where some sources are manually generated from src/LIBVIRT-MIB.txt, then edited (added code to talk to libvirt) and then added to git.
This is labor extensive and since I don't think libvirt-snmp is actually used I'd like to sunset it. According to repology [3] only Gentoo (and its clones) has the latest version (released ~5 years ago). And I doubt it has any real users there.
Thoughts?
Per our private discussion Michal, Peter, and I concluded that archiving the project in GitLab is a harmless operation that can be undone at any point in time, so I went ahead and toggled the flag.
Yes, archiving is the right thing to do in this scenario, and is trivially reversed. We've already got a bunch of other archived repos :-)
We should clean up the container registry for this and other archived repositories too. I'm betting they take up a non-trivial amount of our group's storage quota for no good reason. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
