These have been abandoned in the community due to lack of support and/or upstream license changes:

  • BLAH Parser - Our implementation only supported PBS/TORQUE
  • CREAM CE - Support ended in December 2020.
  • GIP - Not maintained since about 2009.
  • MAUI - Essentially abandoned in 2012.
  • TORQUE - Proprietary since 2018, not really usable without MAUI/MOAB.
  • PBS - Not really usable without MAUI/MOAB.

Both the quattor component pbsknownhosts and edg-pbs-knownhosts are no longer supported as PBS itself has not been a
supported batch system for CEs for a very long time now.
Mostly just fixing indentation and lint warnings.
There's probably not much point in properly modernising these ancient features.
There is no support for i386 as an architecture anywhere now.
