Pipeline: Fetch resources by SVN

[zhujian7]

Tekton supports Git type PipelineResource perfectly, any plan to support SVN Resource?

[sbwsg]

Thanks for creating an issue! I don't think we'd consider an SVN PipelineResource because PipelineResources are remaining in an alpha state and may at some point be deprecated. We would gladly accept SVN Tasks in the Tekton Catalog though!

We have a git-clone Task already that provides the same functionality as a Git PipelineResource. It's available here: https://github.com/tektoncd/catalog/tree/v1beta1/git

@sbwsg Glad to know, thanks. And I'm a little confused:

because PipelineResources are remaining in an alpha state and may at some point be deprecated.

Will PipelineResource be removed and replaced by a task or redesigned in the future?
If redesigned, what will it be responsible for?

[sbwsg]

We don't have any specific plans to remove PipelineResources. Instead we've announced that they're not in Beta. This means they don't get the same level of support as the stuff which is in Beta. There's still a lot of discussions revolving around PipelineResources so no one really knows what's going to happen to them. One of the reasons for keeping them alpha is because we haven't decided where they're headed.

If redesigned, what will it be responsible for?

If we redesigned them then part of that process would require us to figure out and document what they should be responsible for.

I think we can do a better job documenting all this so I'll try to get some docs together soon to describe the current problems and possible next steps.

OK, looking forward to it. Thanks a lot.
