Unmaintained collection: community.digitalocean

[mariolenz]

The community.digitalocean collection looks unmaintained / abandoned, it has:

• no new commits since Aug 20, 2024
• no new release since Aug 20, 2024
• no CI run since Sep 4, 2024
• CI doesn’t test with ansible-core > 2.16
• no reaction on Validate compatibility with ansible-core 2.19

It’s possible that it’s planned to replace the collection with digitalocean.cloud. But this collection doesn’t really look actively maintained, either. Anyway, community.digitalocean hasn’t been deprecated officially. And it doesn’t mention digitalocean.cloud in the README as an alternative.

edit: @mamercad I think you’ve been active on both collections, so maybe you want to have a look at this.

It’s hacktoberfest so maybe the community can join in? https://hacktoberfest.org

Unfortunately, I haven’t had cycles lately to put towards either collection. I’m trying to find internal ownership of these collections. If it’s up to me, I’d deprecate community.digitalocean in favor of digitalocean.cloud.

@mamercad If nobody wants to work on this collection I suggest to mention in the README that it’s deprecated, point people to digitalocean.cloud there and archive the repo.
