You would probably be interested to follow #5535 for when it's implemented |

Ah, thanks. That would help upgrading known moved dependencies, like the Awaitility? But #5535 isn't specifically about identifying dependencies that might be outdated? |

There's possibly another issue - from even longer ago - about identifying and replacing outdated dependencies. It's definitely something we'd like to do, with some form of community-sourced list. |

I suspect we have some issues open for this feature where Renovate helps with deprecated/dead dependencies. The issues listed below might be duplicates, or they might not be. At the very least they seem to cover similar ground.
I'll let @rarkins decide on what to keep and mark as duplicate of... 😉 |

Thanks, I think #2305 is the closest thing to what I'm asking: identifying any dependencies that haven't had a release in years. |

I'd like to modernise a large, old project that has a lot of dependencies. I think a dependency bot like Renovate could help - but I have one specific question (see title).
For example, there is a dependency declared on com.jayway.awaitility:awaitility:1.7.0. This dependency was released in 2015.
From what I understand, Renovate would not see any problem with this dependency, as it is on the latest version. However, really it's out of date. The dependency was moved to org.awaitility:awaitility, which released version 4 last year.
Other dependencies are in a similar situation (and not just in Maven). They have been abandoned, or replaced.
Ignoring the task of how to update these old dependencies, can Renovate provide these warnings, so I can make a start?
