Community Support Levels¶
Tier 1 – Core (Critical)¶
Core team develops and supports
Compiler errors or functional failures block git merges and releases
Functionality is part of the standard installation
Tier 2 – Plugins (Non-Critical)¶
Core team develops and supports, sometimes with help from community members
Compiler errors or functional failures block git merges
Functionality problems such as ‘known issues’ or might still going into releases
Features require user to install the plugin / functionality not installed by default
Tier 3 – Plugins (Community)¶
Tier 3 is community supported, this means the OPNsense core development team won’t support it to avoid overloading the team
When accepting a Tier 3 feature into the code base, it will come with a number of limits and conditions:
Submitter must commit to maintaining it:
Make sure code compiles and correctly functions after OPNsense and/or external (e.g. library) changes
Support users when they encounter problems (forum / git issue tracker – all related issues will be assigned to the maintainer)
The code is offered as plugin and will not be part of the default OPNsense installation. The OPNsense core team will not be responsible for QA
If the feature get lots of traction, and/or if the team just considers it very useful, it may get ‘promoted’ to being officially supported (Tier 2)
The feature will be removed if the submitter stops maintaining it and no-one steps up to take over
