Thank you
This isn't as much of an orphan as there is a question what to do with the elasticsearch ecosystem in Arch. With the relicensing and subsequent release of opensearch what are you plans for this package? This also applies to the beat packages and auxiliary packages to the ELK stack.
I think the best thing to do for Arch Linux is to wait to see how this will evolve. If opensearch gets traction and support from the community it might be the answer and eventually elasticsearch will not be important to keep in repos. I must say though I had to educate myself to the latest in elasticsearch licensing.
Please do read the previou discussion regarding SSPL and mongodb. I don't know if there are recent development but it's still not an OSI license. https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2019-January/029430.ht... I do think there is a possible debate still about how we should approach these licenses, but in general people favour dropping them instead of pretending to be a lawyer. This is also why elasticsearch has been updated until the version before the license change and then orphaned. -- Morten Linderud PGP: 9C02FF419FECBE16
