🛑 Deprecating OpenTracing

Open yurishkuro opened this issue 3 years ago • 6 comments

Practically all activity has moved to the OpenTelemetry project, there are no resources to maintain the OpenTracing API libraries any more. OpenTelemetry provides a compatibility layer for OpenTracing instrumentation.

After discussing with other Specification Council members, we propose to freeze all development of the OpenTracing APIs effective immediately:

  • [ ] No more new pull requests or feature requests will be accepted, only security fixes (which are unlikely given the nature of the API libraries).
  • [x] Add a DEPRECATED banner to the website: https://github.com/opentracing/opentracing.io/pull/460
  • [x] All API repos will be tagged as deprecated
  • [ ] All API repos will be archived by the end of 2022.

"LGTM" 😿

Thank you for taking the initiative on this, Yuri.

Sounds good to me, thanks! And definitely good motivation to finish the latest cycles in the compatibility section in OTel.
