Repository/package cleanup

[sagikazarmark]

Now, that we are merging repositories together, the question comes up whether we should remove the deprecated repositories or not.

Pros:

• less repository, less confusion
• less repository, less maintenance

Cons:

• some of the repositories have already been tagged, which means they COULD be used somewhere. Fortunately packagist gives us information about dependent packages.
• we lose issues, PRs, history (which is probably not a big deal in the current phase of the project)

i propose we mark all repositories we don't need anymore as abandoned on packagist and explain that they are fading out and where the content moved. one month after tagging 1.0, we can remove them. that gives people some time to update.

Already done.

explain that they are fading out and where the content moved

Also done. Marked as deprecated, moved to repository text is in the beginning of the README.

one month after tagging 1.0, we can remove them. that gives people some time to update.

Sounds good to me.

Shouldn’t php-http/adapter be marked deprecated in favour of httplug?

[sagikazarmark]

It should be. The repo itself is already removed I think, the package should also be deleted at some point.

[dbu]

the repo already redirects. i suggest we delete it from packagist (if that is possible nowadays, i think it used to be impossible to delete things)

[sagikazarmark]

@Seldaek Can you please delete php-http/adapter package from packagist?

[Seldaek]

I can, but it's still being downloaded a bit https://packagist.org/packages/php-http/adapter/stats so I think it's best to wait a few more weeks/months to make sure everyone has time to get the abandon warning and move over. Just ping me again here in a bit?

[sagikazarmark]

Thanks for the reply. I will contact the package authors who still rely on the old package.

[sagikazarmark]

Oops, one of our packages rely on the old package.

[ddeboer]

Lol, package overflow confusion. 😉

Can we begin to clear some deprecated packages ? Would be nice to have something clean for the first release
