feat: remove `archive_file` resource deprecated status

Open codymaust opened this issue 5 months ago • 3 comments

thank you all for an immensely useful provider

  • from what i gathered from the git history, this resource was introduced in v2.3.0 in a deprecated state

  • discussion with the community involving @bendbennett resulted in the consideration of this deprecation being removed (see: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-archive/issues/218)

  • since v2.x there has been a strong focus on keeping this provider limited to the data source, so some of this proposed change is taking a best guess at what makes sense while trying not to depart from the overall approach

  • i acknowledge that this appears to be in some ways orthogonal to the goal of the project, but there has been little movement in regards to this widely-requested feature (understandably so, based on reasons mentioned above).

  • there are cases, primarily in a remote build server context, where the design decisions/limitations of the data source makes the adoption and usage of this provider much more challenging.

this change is proposed as a stop-gap until a larger focus is able to put on this project by the primary contributing team

fixes #218
