#281499 — Bug#964399: Should ganglia be removed?

Source: ganglia
Severity: serious

Should ganglia be removed? It's dead upstream (last commits from over three years ago,
last release from 2015), is now orphaned (last active maintainer is no longer a DD, but
wasn't very actively maintained to begin with, the current packaged version is from 2013),
most of the plugins depend on Python 2, there's unfixed security issues dating back to
2013 and doesn't even support ipv6 (730257).

Unless anyone steps up for maintenance (and partly becomes upstream), it should better
be removed.

Cheers,
        Moritz

Do you have a plan how to deal with the plugins in Python 2? Will
you port them yourself or rather drop them?

Packaging it under the pkg-security umbrella feels a little off/odd,
but if you think Ganglia is still useful in 2020 and want to adopt
it and fix the bugs, sure please go ahead :-)

Cheers,
        Moritz

Why pkg-security? It doesn't seem related to the team's purpose.

I can create you repositories in the "debian" namespace if you want but
I'd rather not add random packages to the pkg-security team...

Hi Moritz!

Yes, i uploaded it to salsa.d.o and i am waiting for Frontdesk aproval
to become DD (that should happens in a few days) in order to upload it
myself instead of asking for sponsorship.

Its new home is here: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/ganglia.

Thanks, 
Marcos
