Purpose:
While there is a lot of activity on Collectd Master, the release cadence of Collectd versions has been a known issue.
To alleviate the delay concerns in showcasing cutting edge work being done on Collectd plugins, the Barometer community has taken the 3 Container approach.
Approach:
There will be three barometer-Collectd containers going ahead accessible for users:
- “Stable” – currently available container with latest stable release branch (5.8).
- “Master” – new container, based on latest collectd master branch.
- “Experimental” – new container, with selected patches, that are not accepted/merged yet on Collectd Master
