Hello Everybody,
I want to give an update on the Hawkular Community distribution since
Hawkular Services is now on a good track.
The Hawkular Community distribution will be built on top of the Hawkular
Services with two additions: Embedded Cassandra and Hawkular UI. The
Embedded Cassandra was removed from the Hawkular Services but will make its
way into the community distribution. The Hawkular UI will be the original
web interface from previous Hawkular bundle but updated to work with
Hawkular Services.
In the short term, the Hawkular Community distributions will be just a
rebundling of Hawkular Services with the Embedded Cassandra. The repository
for this effort is:
https://github.com/hawkular/hawkular-community
The Hawkular UI updates are now in the planning stages and I will provide
an update as soon as the timeline becomes more clear. The code has been
relocated this new repository:
https://github.com/hawkular/hawkular-ui
Lastly, I renamed old hawkular/hawkular repository
hawkular/hawkular-dist-old, marked it as archived, and removed access to
it. The new url:
https://github.com/hawkular/hawkular-dist-old . My initial
reaction was to update hawkular/hawkular for the new community
distribution. But after looking at the commit and pull request history it
did not make sense to continue using that repository. Also, it would have
been really confusing to keep the repository with the old name knowing it
will probably be never be updated again, if somebody takes a look at the
org and spots that repository it may wonder if the community is still
active.
A note about the hawkular/hawkular rename, Github has automatic redirects
for renamed repositories. If somebody navigates to the old url, they will
be redirected to the new name. So as long we do not have another
hawkular/hawkular, the old url will keep working (which is is a good idea
given existing links and forks). But we should never ever name anything
again hawkular/hawkular because it is a very misleading name.
Thank you,
Stefan Negrea
