Rackspace Gophercloud has been deprecated

Open kcbimonte opened this issue 11 months ago • 1 comments

Describe the bug

Rackspace Gophercloud was deprecated by rackspace on 1 AUG 2023. There is a new dedicated gophercloud (https://github.com/gophercloud/gophercloud) that has a release as recent as last month that the archived repo directed other to.

Additionally, this issue (rackspace/gophercloud#592) identifies that the change has been a long time coming.

Reproduction steps

  1. Look at readme, see links to old dependency

  2. Look at go.mod, see pulling in old dependency

Expected behavior

Up to date dependencies are pulled in so that the latest functionality can be used when needed but also to stay ahead of security vulnerabilities.

Additional context

Wasn't entirely sure to open this as a defect or a new feature but wanted to get it documented.

I tried to see if a quick swap of imports works but there are some changes they've made, like fields removed, functions gone or signatures changed. They might be small stuff but I'm not going to spend the time going down that rabbit hole. Will happily review any PR's submitted to update this.
