Announcement: ci.jenkins.io badges will be deactivated

@hbazan-pp another alternative I've added to the announcement is to put in place a self-hosted shield.io instance which would allow serving badges from ci.jenkins.io without this plugin.

@hbazan-pp Here is a new twist! @MarkEWaite and @darinpope adopted the plugin, thus it doesn't have to be removed from ci.jenkins.io, you'll be able to continue using it.

is there an alternative to this?

[lemeurherve]

If by "this" you mean "this plugin", not that I know of, sorry.
If you mean "this removal" in general, apart from adopting the plugin and taking care of it I'm afraid there isn't.

[hbazan-pp]

sorry, I meant an alternative to show build status badges on a jenkins plan. I have this issue #77 and maybe there is a way to achieve this without the plugin

[lemeurherve]

Anyone is free to continue to use and configure this plugin to display badges from their own instance even if it's not recommanded (cf the security team message), nothing change for this use case.

But for all plugins built on ci.jenkins.io and retrieving their badge images from this public instance like this one, this won't be possible anymore as this plugin will be removed from it.

I've took a look at your suggestion, but it's still using the plugin to work.
I can't say if displaying a badge is possible without this/a plugin but as it exists I suppose not.

EDIT: @hbazan-pp please take a look at jenkins-infra/helpdesk#3013 (comment)
We should be able to replace these badges by shield.io ones if we find a way to whitelist their service IP(s).
