🛑 Deprecating OpenTracing

Practically all activity has moved to the OpenTelemetry project, there are no resources to maintain the OpenTracing API libraries any more. OpenTelemetry provides a compatibility layer for OpenTracing instrumentation.

After discussing with other Specification Council members, we propose to freeze all development of the OpenTracing APIs effective immediately:

  • No more new pull requests or feature requests will be accepted, only security fixes (which are unlikely given the nature of the API libraries).
  • Add a DEPRECATED banner to the website: opentracing/opentracing.io#460
  • All API repos will be tagged as deprecated
  • All API repos will be archived by the end of 2022.

"LGTM" 😿

Thank you for taking the initiative on this, Yuri.

Sounds good to me, thanks! And definitely good motivation to finish the latest cycles in the compatibility section in OTel.

We've pretty much reached the end of 2022, will the repos under this org be (GitHub) archived soon? /cc @caniszczyk

AlekSi commented

It would be nice to archive that repo to save some time for people reading outdated issues (like me)

carlosalberto commented

@yurishkuro Sounds like we are ready to roll?

austinlparker commented

Yeah we should go ahead and archive all of these.
