= Proposed System Wide Change: Django 1.8 =
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Django18

Change owner(s): Matthias Runge <mrunge at fedoraproject.org>

Update python-django to version 1.8. 

== Detailed Description ==
Update python-django to version 1.8. Fedora 21 contains version 1.6, which 
will become deprecated by upstream, once Django-1.8 is out. This is a change, 
impacting many of python-django-* packages.

Django upstream is transparent and announces deprecation far in advance. 

== Scope ==
* Proposal owners: 
** update python-django to version 1.8. To support maintainers of dependent 
packages, a copr repo containing latest Django-1.8 is here: [1]
** A build containing latest Django will be pushed to f22 branch late in dev 
cycle. If we decide not to push Django-1.8, nothing will be broken.
** Django 1.8 final release is expected around April 1st, 2015: [2] 

* Other developers: update dependent packages to work with Django-1.8
* Release engineering: N/A 
* Policies and guidelines: N/A

== Contingency Plan ==
* Contingency mechanism: If we can not make it, we'll keep Django-1.7 from 
rawhide.
* Contingency deadline: Fedora 22 Beta release.
* Blocks release? No 
* Blocks product? doesn't block a product.
