Upcoming deprecation of GitHub Services

Starting with GitHub Enterprise 2.17.0, support for GitHub Services will be deprecated and administrators will not be able to install or configure new GitHub Services. Existing GitHub Services from a previous version of GitHub Enterprise will continue to function but GitHub Enterprise will not be providing any security or bug fixes to the GitHub Services functionality. At this time, there will be no changes to the existing functionality, but a warning banner will be displayed with the deprecation announcement blog post. Administrators can see which repositories are using GitHub Services with ghe-legacy-github-services-report.

Known Issues

• On a freshly set up GitHub Enterprise without any users, an attacker could create the first admin user.
• Custom firewall rules aren't maintained during an upgrade.
• svn checkout may timeout while the repository data cache is being built. In most cases, subsequent svn checkout attempts will succeed.
• Git LFS tracked files uploaded through the web interface are incorrectly added directly to the repository.
• The import of protected branches with ghe-migrator fails when the creator of the protected branch no longer exists on the source instance. (updated 2018-10-31)
• The import of project boards with ghe-migrator fails when the creator of a card on the board no longer exists on the source instance. (updated 2018-11-21)
• Pull request review comments can be misplaced when the pull request has large diffs. (updated 2019-01-21)
• Issues cannot be closed if they contain a permalink to a blob in the same repository where the file path is longer than 255 characters. (updated 2019-03-07)
• Some pull requests and issues are purged completely when restoring the repository right after deleting it. (updated 2019-03-19)
