Drop unofficial user_external refs

Open ChristophWurst opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

As per https://github.com/nextcloud/user_external/issues/186 our official documentation points to an official and currently unmaintained app. In my opinion we should only document official apps.

Current doc page https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/23/admin_manual/configuration_user/user_auth_ftp_smb_imap.html. Added in https://github.com/nextcloud/documentation/pull/1319.

We can debate what "official" means, but unmaintained is unmaintained so I'd drop it for that reason.

Hi everyone! Just wanted to drop a note that I'm still alive :) just currently way too busy with my studies... but I'll try to continue doing releases of user_external (hopefully this week-end as it's Easter break)... I agree though that it makes sense to drop this section from the official docs for the time being as I can't guarantee anything regarding my availabilities :grimacing:

Looks to be getting periodic commits and even a couple new releases (and is compatible with NC27 and even has a shiny new CHANGELOG).

  • https://github.com/nextcloud/user_external/commits/master
  • https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/user_external
  • https://github.com/nextcloud/user_external/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

Is the consensus still to drop it from the manual for the time being?

we moved the release procedure to a shared approach, so I'm not the only one any more able to push new releases - this obviously helps getting new releases out when only updating the compatibility number is needed :) not sure if it changes anything else though
