[Spliit] Re-evaluate removal: upstream is actively maintained again #16681

Description

@danielceinos

Summary

The Spliit script (slug: spliit) was removed via the is_deleted flag in the scripts database, motivated by #15209 ("Project Dead / Security Issues Upstream"), which reported no upstream commits since December 6, 2025.

That premise is no longer true. The upstream project has been revived and is under active development:

Evidence Details
Latest release v1.22.0, published 2026-08-14
Recent release cadence v1.20.x → v1.21.0 → v1.22.0 in recent weeks
Merged feature PRs #486 (MYR currency), #507 (MKD), #521 (COP), #557 (fix), #537 (translated page titles, merged 2026-08-18)
Recent commits Feature + dependency work on 2026-08-18/19/20
Contributors Multiple new contributors active (marcmeee, stdmr, albariko97, BastiOfBerlin, quintushr, ...)

Notably, the community-scripts database record for spliit itself already tracks github_data.version: 1.22.0 (last sync 2026-08-22), confirming the upstream feed is alive.

Request

Please re-evaluate the status of the Spliit script:

  1. Set is_deleted = false for slug spliit, or
  2. As a middle ground, use is_disabled = true with a message about the remaining security concerns (no built-in authentication), which users can still bypass consciously via var_ignore_disable.

For context: the three script files are still present and intact in this repository (ct/spliit.sh, ct/headers/spliit, install/spliit-install.sh), and their update_script() flow works correctly against current releases. Existing LXC installations currently have no supported update path.

Regarding the security concerns

The concerns from #15209 remain valid and worth documenting — Spliit still lacks an authentication layer and has open npm audit findings. However, with the project maintained again and many containers already deployed, a documented warning plus a disabled/bypass status seems more useful than a hard block.

Happy to help test or refresh the scripts if anything needs updating since #15937.
