In regard to assets, I see no particular reason to treat retired podlings differently
from graduated podlings. Keep the foo.apache.org <http://foo.apache.org/>
hostname; retain the repository (read-only); keep the website (tagged with a notice
’This podling has retired. It may be contacted at …’.)
It is certainly useful for people to be able to access the podling’s source
code as of the day it retired.
If there are other considerations (cost, security, legal) then we could
reconsider.
I believe this covers two of the questions, but I have not gotten an
answer on the middle question; who handles the retired resources?
We can keep the repositories as is and just archive/lock them, but infra
is not going to start editing websites and READMEs to add the retirement
notices. That responsibility still rests with the Incubator.

Hi incubator folks,
over at Infra, we occasionally have requests to retire podlings, and while we
do have a specific set of policies for TLPs, it gets a bit vague when it comes
to podlings. I have tried looking for the IPMC's own guidelines, but it seems
that the retirement guide does not exist (
https://incubator.apache.org/guides/retirement.html 404s!).
Thus, I would like to get the incubator's official opinion on how podling
retirements should be effectuated:
- Do we keep the podling foo.apache.org hostname in perpetuity?
- Are repositories and other material removed? handed to the attic? moved to a
special incubator-retired-* prefix?
- What happens to the podling websites?
With regards,
Daniel on behalf of ASF Infra.
