asdf-plugins: Remove all test failed plugins from the README

I agree, not removing plugins directly, instead automating the notification of failed builds, with a warning of grace time, say 3 to 6 months to fix the build. It’s more of a maintenance status check, and yeah I also doubt if it’s worth the effort.

I don’t want to remove plugins automatically. GitHub checks have intermittent failures more frequently than I enjoy.

I did update the CI so commits on the default branch tests all plugins and summarizes the information. For example:

 * Checking plugins/vendir [FAILED]
*	FAIL: Expected plugin CI badge SVG to be passing but it was not: https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/asdf-carvel/workflows/test-all/badge.svg
* Checking plugins/ytt [FAILED]
*	FAIL: Expected plugin CI badge SVG to be passing but it was not: https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/asdf-carvel/workflows/test-all/badge.svg

Plugins available: 638
Plugin build checks passed: 549
Plugin build checks failed: 89

I think there are ways to further automate this and report to the authors that there are issues, whether by tagging them in a thread in this repo or by opening Issues in the plugin repos. However, I don’t feel the effort is worth the reward.

Very few people seem to complain about plugins actually not working. It’s only a few times a year that we replace unmaintained plugins with new forks. Although some of the repos here might not work, they give people a place to fork from and then we can update this repo with their new plugins.

This is a health check at best. It isn’t, and shouldn’t, be a tool for people to gauge plugin health, robustness or trust. I try to point this out as much in this repo’s README, SECURITY file and core tool documentation site.

Oh dang. I missed this one – I can help out with asdf-brig (hey @blimmer!)

Since Ben was the only contributor no one @ibotta got a notification of the issue he made for us. I’ve set myself as a watcher and will be fixing the build very soon.

@imbsky Fixed the asdf-scala plugin =)

@mikestephens I sent you an invitation!

@imbsky Sorry for being late, I’ve fixed asdf-v. Thanks for the reminder!

@blimmer Thank you again for your quick response!

@imbsky it looks like there’s some kind of issue with Travis CI’s badge on that repo. The tests are actually passing, even though the badge says that they’re not:

I opened https://github.com/Ibotta/asdf-brig/issues/8 to see if they can fix up the badge, as I no longer have maintainer abilities on that repo.

@marciogm Sent!

@imbsky Just got asdf-rust fixed up, all green! Thanks for the reminder.

hey @imbsky. I’m willing to transfer the asdf-crystal as well, could you send a invitation?

@imbsky let’s transfer it then!

I do recognize that there are issues for newer versions of mongodb, but its fix is not trivial, and I cannot work on fixing it right away. As such, please remove asdf-mongodb for now, and I will contact you again after fixing it.
