[Bug 1827416] [NEW] Removal Request: Demote from main

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Bryce Harrington (bryce):

heartbeat was updated to python3[0],	but has	become obsolescent and can
be removed from the	archive.

Release: heartbeat should be removed from main in Eoan+.	 It can	be moved
to universe.

Rationale: Heartbeat was a part of the linux-ha project, and could
either be used stand-alone ("haresources" mode), or as a part of the
Pacemaker cluster resource manager[1].  However, Pacemaker's focus moved
to use Corosync[2] and dependencies on heartbeat were dropped in the
packaging.  There is no longer any reference to heartbeat by pacemaker
as corosync has completely replaced it today.

Upstream

Reverse	depends	or reverse build depends on heartbeat, except for two
Suggests: ipvsadm and drbd-utils.  ipvsadm allows it as an alternative
to keepalived.  drbd-utils supports it as one of several different
optional integrations.
