[CLOUDSTACK-9858] Retirement of midonet plugin (build disabling)
Recently there have been two threads asking and discussing the
âmidonetâ integration with Apache CloudStack (ACS) [1-2].
After quite some discussions, we noticed that despite having some people
willing to use it, the plugin has never been fully developed by its vendor
(Midokura). Further, nobody else has put the effort on fully testing and
finishing its implementation. It seems that the plugin was incorporated into
our code base without being fully finished. Moreover, I have asked around at
the Midonet community, and the java client they use has changed quite a bit
from the one we use.
It begs the question if it does not work, why do we advertise such
integration? [3].
Following the component retirement process defined in [4], a vote thread
was started in [5]. The community decided to retire this Midonet plugin. This
task represents the first step of the retirement, which is the disabling of the
plugin in CloudStack`s build process.
