Deprecate

Open freben opened this issue 5 months ago • 0 comments

Hey there!

Now that the plugin is completely available and maintained out of the community-plugins repo, I would humbly ask whether it might be time to deprecate this entire repository, to reduce the risk of confusion. One possible way of doing so:

  • Making a README update saying the package is deprecated, and pointing to the URL and package name of its new home
  • Updating the package.json to add a moved pointer to the new package
  • Making one final release to npm to ensure that the newest package version has that information in it
  • Formally marking the package as deprecated using the npm command line tool
  • Reducing the contents of this repo down to just the README and nothing else

Again, this is just a humble suggestion and feel free to do with it as you will. Thanks for all of your work!

Regards, /your old backstage maintainer friends
