Audit modules and deprecated the unsupported ones

Open bsipocz opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Issues came up for alfalfa recently, and I recall that retiring/deprecating/removing came up for a few other ones, too. So this is a tracking issue as a reminder that we should go through all and decide. IMO it's better to raise a warning or even remove a module than drag a broken service around.

I milestone this to 0.4.7 as these should ideally be done before that release is tagged.

  • [x] alfalfa
  • [ ] vamdc
  • [ ] some or the irsa services after their merger is done
  • [x] noirlab
  • ~[ ] oac (see message on https://sne.space/)~

When other preferences exist, deprecate and remove:

  • [ ] utils.tap in favour of pyvo TAP, this can only be done once the ESA modules are migrated
  • [ ] vo_conesearch in favour of pyvo

@keflavich - any vision for vamdc for 0.4.7? And what to do with oac?

As for IRSA, the sha rework/removal is due for 0.4.7, but I don't think the rest will be fall into that milestone.

no, vamdc isn't a priority right now.

For OAC: I guess we remove it? It doesn't do anything any more, right?

It does, but as far as I understand (based on the link above) it's not being updated. Maybe a deprecation like we have for exoplanet_orbit_database?
