Is this still being developed

[evilhamsterman]

There was an issue #309 about the README mentioning this project is still under development and then you removed that text from the README, but that language still exists in the documentation https://argocd-autopilot.readthedocs.io/en/stable/#development-status. The last significant code commit appears to be 8efa73d from exactly one year ago, since then it been a few bug fixes and typos but mostly just dependabot bumps.

There doesn't appear to be any significant feature development for almost two years. Will there be any further development, most of the functionality for adding and managing apps or projects appears to be in the main command it really only the bootstrap that is missing. If so then it should probably be deprecated/archived.

For me, the most important thing is that the bootstrapping (installing it into a new/empty cluster, or recover) is being maintained and kept possible even with new k8s versions. Most other things are just convenience features that create a argocd project with some applicationsets and applications. I, personally, rather write these by hand, also (but not only) because these cli commands don't cover all features Argocd itself does, like repositories etc. That is you point I guess?

Deprecated/archived would suggest that nothing is being done, not even maintenance. I wouldn't want to see that.

@AlexEndris at this point it doesn't even look like maintenance is happening. The only commits for the last two years are essentially just debendabot bumping library versions, that's not maintenance that's life support. The idea is great but if there's no commitment to it then it should be marked as such. Then people won't be led to use something that isn't supported or maybe the community picks it up.

@evilhamsterman You have a point there, unfortunately. I just joined the slack that's linked below to point to this issue to, maybe, get a comment on this, because this is indeed a genuine worry. Thank you for pointing it out to make others aware.
One thing to be said, though, which obviously isn't visible here, there are a few usage questions in that slack channel and they are being answered by people that contributed here.

Let’s consider this a call to the community to volunteer if they would like to see new features. This project was quite active for a while but is now at a comfortable place where it solves the problems we wanted to solve for ourselves at Codefresh. The project is still being updated for bug and security fixes but no major new features are planned. PRs are monitored so if people would like to add features and support, or join and help maintain the project, they’re very welcome!

I think there is a place for this project in the community and if people want new features, they're going to have to pitch in.

Thanks @AlexEndris @evilhamsterman for bringing it up.

Does Codefresh still use this project?

We do not use it as part of the installer but it's still supported.
