Caution
The published package has not been released in two years.
Why
- The Go package github.com/projectcalico/calico has had no release since November 2021, while the repository has 4,347 human commits in the last year; the old release has 6 known security advisories (GHSA-5r5h-q934-cccp, GHSA-6362-gv4m-53ww, GHSA-9394-xfq9-6qrp), which do not show whether the current code is affected. (source 1, source 2, source 3, source 4, source 5, source 6, source 7, source 8)
What would change this
- A new package release is published.
- Partly checked: maintenance (Commit counts are estimated: the commit sample stops before the window start, so GitHub's totals were scaled by the sampled bot share.; Authors in the last 90 days are counted from the sampled commits only.)
