<br>
</span>Let's reiterate:<br>
- Nick Coghlan posted an interesting proposal to the discussion section in my proposal (my reaction is in the blue frame) [1]. I'd appreciate more comments on this.<br>
- From the feedback gathered on this list:<br>
- We should have /usr/bin/python3 pointing to a python3X build. The question is which one this will be during transitional periods between 3X and 3X+1. My thinking is that we should point /usr/bin/python3 to 3X+1 at the time of retiring 3X (IMO there is no ideal time to do that, so it's not really important).<br>
- As for dist-git possibilities, Orion would prefer to use current dist-git repos with epel-7 branches. It's not my preference (for reasons mentioned in the proposal), but I'm not against it if that is what others wish.<br>
- Stephen Smoogen mentioned that the transitional period during which python3X and python3X+1 exist can be anywhere from 6 weeks to 2 months. I'm starting to think that we should only specify the minimum time for which 3X will be kept. So my proposal would be sth. like "3X is kept for minimum of 6 weeks in parallel to 3X+1. After this, it is retired as soon as all stakeholders have rebuilt against 3X+1." (keeping it a bit vague is a good thing here, I think)<br>
- As I noted in one of my emails, we don't have to worry about conflicts with RHSCL. New collections from RHSCL will be named with "rh-" prefix and thus won't conflict with python3X stacks.<br>
<br>
Since it doesn't seem that there was anything very problematic, let's discuss the points mentioned above after which I should be able to finalize the proposal and make it official (and then we could all get to building :)).<br>
I'm quite sure that we'll still hit some technical issues, e.g. macro naming for parallel stacks, but I believe we can discuss and solve these on the way.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thank you for circling back on this. I was going to try and contact you today about python26 which is orphaned in EPEL-5 and was going to see if we could use the same logic for making a python27 tree for EL5 and EL6? </div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
