comment fixed to what version is in master (thanks @neilcsmith-net for assistance :D )

do you think we can merge, and let discussion on PR ?

IMO: I don't think it makes sense to maintain 14MB sig files over third party libs in our source code repo. The usefulness of sigs over dependencies is more of informational nature anyway since their API is not something we can influence. I don't have anything against them in principle - but a 14mb text file is a bit much in this particular case.

Whether the 29 new dependencies for a Kubernetes deploy action are justified or not I don't know, since I don't see any cost/benefit analysis or discussion anywhere which compares other options. But there are essentially three likely outcomes: a) PR gets reverted and we regen the sigs or b) cost/benefit is justified and we turn sig tests off for that set of dependencies. c) we merge it as is

I don't think we should merge this as is.

I would suggest removing that one file (org-netbeans-libs-fabric8.sig), amending and force pushing the commit, and getting this merged before anything else starts conflicting with it. It can always be added back later depending on where that conversation ends up.

The idea of @neilcsmith-net sounds like a good approach.

[mbien]

agreed. I thought about disabling the sig checks for the wrapper, but this could cause conflicts dependent on what is going to happen next. So removal of org-netbeans-libs-fabric8.sig from this PR without further changes sounds like the best approach to get this PR integrated without delays.

[ebarboni]

sorry for delay sig file should be removed
