Hey!
Just wanted to say that this doesn't impact OpenTF too much. It's an extra step we need to take before a stable release, but long-term it'll make us more decoupled, which is great.
As someone else commented, all providers and modules other than Hashicorp's are hosted on GitHub and the registry is just a "redirector". We'll do something similar, other than some special handling for Hashicorp's providers.
Also, I know you want us to finally publish the repo - we're working very hard to make this happen and it should be a matter of days now.
Disclaimer: Work at Spacelift, and currently temporary Technical Lead of the OpenTF Project, until it's committee-steered.
- yuppie_scum 3y agoI sure hope that opentf doesn’t just cause a fragmentation in the ecosystem that ruins the user experience, especially for the many people who are happily using unpaid TF and self hosted state stores.
- cube2222 3y ago> opentf doesn’t just cause a fragmentation We're trying to remain as compatible on all fronts as possible, and our registry will too, so I wouldn't be attributing the fragmentation to OpenTF.
- jitl 3y agoIt’s Hashicorp’s license changes that are causing fragmentation, OpenTF is the effect not the cause.
- candiddevmike 3y agoWhy aren't you interested in switching to OpenTF?
- yuppie_scum 3y agoI never said I wouldn’t. At the end of the day I’ll use whatever is the easiest/best. I’m just hoping not to have to do a bunch of rework.
- kemitchell 3y agoUnabashed voice of the Everyman here. Let them compete.
- prmoustache 3y agoIf there is fragmentation, that will be caused by Hashicorp, not opentf.
- benterix 3y agoI just wanted to say thank you so much for your efforts and I'm looking forward to seeing some interesting developments with OpenTF.
- cube2222 3y agoThank you for the kind words, they are very appreciated! I'll make sure to relay them to the rest of the team :)
- candiddevmike 3y agoHappy to help provide mirrors for an OpenTF registry if necessary
- miki123211 3y agoOut of curiosity, why isn't OpenTF's development, done, well, in the open? What's the rationale for keeping it closed for now? I'm not critiquing, not a Terraform user so don't have any stake in this discussion, just curious.
- cube2222 3y agoMostly trademark issues, really.
- lolinder 3y agoAs in, you need to make sure you strip out all references to the Terraform trademark before you make it public?
- fishnchips 3y agoMore or less, yes. This is a complex legal topic. Also, we need to make sure we don't violate the new registry T&Cs.
