Drop of yast2-dns-server, yast2-dhcp-server and yast2-http-server
Hi, I would like to announce that after many years YaST team plan to stop maintaining yast2-dns-server, yast2-dhcp-server and yast2-http-server for tumbleweed[1]. Main reason is that modules showing really its age and noone cares to even report bugs for it. It gets almost no care and just increase effort when we need to do some mass changes. All modules is old ones written in perl without proper test coverage, so any touch is very risky. And its use case is also very discutable. For http-server it is use case from 90's to get quickly setup apache with php mod. For dns server and dhcp server its home usage is no longer relevant and for servers I would say majority of users already use some versioning and deployment system like git + salt usually combined with some CI. If we overlook some non-rare use case for any of these modules please speak up, so we can reconsider it. For this reason we create delete request for these yast modules[2][3][4]. If there is still someone who finds module useful and willing to maintain it, please contact us. We can give you access to github repo and also move maintainership to you. For Leap 15.X nothing changes and module is still part of it same as for SLE15 codebase.
