Hi everyone,
The moby-engine package [1] (also known as Docker) has been
orphaned in Fedora and is looking for a new maintainer. The
waiting period will soon be over and the package will be
retired
if nobody steps in.
This means that the package will be unavailable starting with
the
next release of Fedora (Fedora 38) that should happen in
approximately 5 to 6 months.
If you are using this package and are interested in helping
maintaining it, now is the time to come forward!
I'm using docker for $dayjob and would be willing to help out a
bit, but I will not be the main maintainer, as I don't feel
comfortable taking such a huge package and lack the cycles for
that.
As I also heavily use docker for my dayjob, and I see that moby-
engine
is still unmaintained (and I guess a couple of days away from
retirement), I intend to give it a shot to keep the package alive.
I
don't have expertise in this specific field beyond regular docker
and
docker-compose usage, so clearly help is very much appreciated. I'd
proceed by taking the package by the end of the week if it still
unmaintained at that point.
I also would like keep moby-engine (also known as Docker) and I will
help if you need .
After analyze go packages, I think we got the same kind of problems
of
nodejs, which is, too many packages and each package has very few
lines
of code and make other packages have enormous number of dependencies
.
In conclusion to maintain it, we will spend a lot of time. I'm
thinking
for example docker should include all other specific deps like
golang-
github-containerd-* , golang-github-moby-*
So we should try to solve this problem. I'm against this
fragmentation
of the packages, i.e. in packages guidelines allow may have different
sources same package .
I took moby-engine and fedora-dockerfiles because orphans [1] report
alert for more than 6 weeks orphan
Thanks!
