Announcing cf-release end of life

David Sabeti
 

Hi cf-dev,

I'm happy to announce the end of support for cf-release. A few weeks ago, we cut cf-release v287 -- the final version of cf-release. Last week, the Release Integration team shut down the last pipelines pertaining to cf-release and moved the repo to the Cloud Foundry attic.

Some fun facts about cf-release:
  • The first commit was made April 4, 2012. At that time, SOPA has just caused some of the largest internet protests in history and Instagram finally released an app for Android.
  • cf-release has had 317 contributors. The top two committers? "cf-buildpacks-eng" (a bot) and "capi-bot" (also, obviously, a bot). We're officially in a world where even software engineering jobs are being automated away. The top human committer is none other than CAPI's Zach Robinson.
  • This single bosh release has been replaced with 23 releases used by cf-deployment.
Any operators still using cf-release should move to cf-deployment as the basis for their deployment manifest. We'll test the transition from cf-release to cf-deployment for another week or two.

Thanks to all the teams and community members that worked on splitting out their code into new releases, built pipelines with cf-deployment when it was still prickly and new, and gave us feedback on the new tooling.

Lastly, feel free to reach out to the Release Integration team in the #release-integration Slack channel, or open a Github issue on the cf-deployment repo.

Thanks!

Hooray!  A very long time coming.
Congrats to the Release Integration team on getting this through!

Yes, congratulations.  Now to begin the process of moving our custom templating to cf-deployment.  Sigh. :)
