When a repo is no longer used by Open edX (or internally at edX) and will no longer be supported, we archive it and move it to the edx-unsupported Github org.

This doc contains some differences with respect to OEP 14, but is more representative of our current process. The two should be reconciled (by updating OEP 14). |
Archive process:
Go through the “before archiving” checklist below
Go to the repo’s Settings page and choose “Archive this repository”
This will mark the repo in the Github UI as no longer maintained
Arch-BOM will be notified and will take care of moving the repo to edx-unsupported, removing it from the ownership spreadsheet, and notifying the listed owners
Before archiving:
...
Confirm that the repo is no longer used, both internally at edX, in Open edX, and in the latest Open edX named release.

Owner follows the OEP 14 process for archiving the repo: https://open-edx-proposals.readthedocs.io/en/latest/oep-0014-proc-archive-repos.html
