--- Begin Message ---Package: wnpp Severity: normal Control: affects -1 + src:netdata Hi, for those who care about netdata: * netdata is a real-time performance monitoring software, it consists mainly of two parts: netdata agent and its plugins, and the web-ui * while the agent has been and still is free software, it has been a pain from a packaging and upstream-interaction point of view: - stuff was changed by rewriting everything constantly: first from bash to Python, then Python to Nodejs, and finally from Nodejs to Go. some parts are also in Rust, eBPF, and webassembly. - the "distribution" model of netdata was never packaging friendly to say the least (e.g. by using common build systems, or common build systems in the way they're supposed to be used). the upstream releases always were a pain with every new version and upstream showed in many ways what they though of the feedback they got from the broad free software/open source community. * a few years ago, netdata inc. was formed and eventually the web-ui part was turned proprietary and binary-only. netdata with it's "cloud" functionality (more and more functionality was moved from netdata to netdata.cloud) turned it into commercial SaaS offering. but even before that, the web-ui was a nuissance with all its privacy/phone-home issues. * netdata 2.x is supposedly containing the agent only (but upstream tarballs contain the embedded binary-blob web-ui that need to be stripped out) and is still (after some more dfsg stripping) free software. however, the web-ui is what makes up netdata. just running the agent doesn't give you anything and there is no alternative to the web-ui. making the web-ui proprietary, there is no component left of netdata that is useful for anything without it. * netdata inc. can of course choose whichever license they like and in Debian, we could still ship netdata (the agent in main, the web-ui in non-free) - but I honestly don't see any value in that and after all the other constant drama that happened with its authors versus the free software/open source community at large in the past years, I'm giving up on it. * a (differet) alternative is beszel, I'm spending my time on this instead (https://github.com/henrygd/beszel/; https://bugs.debian.org/1093255). Regards, Daniel
