Recently I had one of my packages removed from unstable. I would like
to know what is the team's practice of dealing with repositories of
such packages on salsa. I saw that some other teams have
sub-namespaces like /attic/ for packaging repositories of removed
packages in order to preserve them for future reference.
I agree that the repositories should be preserved. I don't see the
benefit of moving the repositories to a different namespace though, it
induce an additional maintenance burden and invalidates the Vcs-*
fields. An alternative would be to flag the repositories with a Gitlab
topic or archive them [1], ideally in an automatic manner.
Thanks for the suggestion to archive. I was not aware of this Gitlab
feature. Interestingly, I cannot find the "Archive project" action in
Salsa for my project swagger-core [2]. Maybe I lack some permission to
archive it?
