Thank you very much <!channel> to all of you who were so responsive about the configs specs, you all picked up very good/important points and it is greatly improved! It has now been merged 💪 https://github.com/nf-core/website/pull/4087 I will update the nf-core/configs repo tomorrow (and the tutorial/guide thingy on the website now I think about it) Next will be poking <!subteam^S08LAB76NBU> to get the fun bit built - linting etc 😉

Now, how do I formally remove myself from my old institution's config? I don't have any contacts left there at all

If you have 0 then you can start the deprecartion process with the warning etcs 🙂

So - modify the config to add "UNMAINTAINED" or similar in the config name/description, remove myself as a maintainer?

Yes, and add the warning to the profile description (or test your

warn.call()

thing 😉

Perhaps we should also create an issue that is an invitation for maintainers

And we can leave that up for a month or so to see if any users bite 🙂

warn.call() thing

that didn't work :(

(it worked for another one)

https://github.com/nf-core/configs/pull/1098 How does this look?

I'd say that maybe just email enquiries@supercomputing.wales to ask if someone is able to directly take it on?

Maybe 1 year is too long (we will forget), maybe 3 months?

@James Fellows Yates I thought we had discussed a year which was why I wrote it

Oh...

I agree it is probably too long

\visible for users

oh great

❤️

So end of June 2026

I think that's reasonable

Fixed all of that.

Just approved

I don't know how useful this is but I added a Milestone to track deprecations: https://github.com/nf-core/configs/milestone/1
