How did we manage dependencies on Centreon Opensource Project
On May 1, 2021, the bintray server was closed. The dependencies of our open source softwares Centreon-Engine and Centreon-Broker were no longer accessible. Impossible to compile a new version. How to best manage dependencies to external projects in an open source product. Are there sustainable, risk-free solutions or is it only utopia?
We have been confronted with cases of unavailable dependencies. And we bring here our feedback by describing what we did.
As Centreon software tech lead, drawing from more than 15 years of engineering experience in the field, I manage technical projects for Centreon since August 2017, and am instrumental in adding strategic integration-ready functionalities within Centreon’s core solution. My expertise in C/C++ combined with a holistic knowledge in multiple Linux infrastructures allows me to successfully complete projects in monitoring and test driven development. I hold an MSc in Algorithmic Mathematics and have achieved the highest teaching degree in Mathematics.
Being a lifetime learner, I obtained two years ago a data science certification with a focus on machine learning, text and graph mining which is a program offered by the Grouping of National Economics and Statistics Schools in France.
