<div dir="ltr">Yes, it would mean changing your requirements after a release. So, for example you might run two gate tests:
<br>
<br>
<div>- A voting Horizon-stable/milestone test, (or both)</div>
<div>- A non-voting Horizon-master test<br>
<br>
That gives you a lot of control over making your tests passing (multiple patches to make the Horizon-master test pass, or all in one patch set alongside the horizon-milestone test bump), rather than random failures each week. You'd still be able to track the
failures as they come in, but they won't break your gate each time.<br>
<br>
I don't think where horizon (the library) lives would change how you version against it. We don't currently have any plans to separate the two; while we realise its a desirable change, weighing the work and risk involved in the split architecture vs the end
result, we've chosen to work on other higher priority items for now (performance, filtering improvements, angular work etc.)<br>

</span>So this would mean changing tox.ini or requirements files after each<br>
horizon release?<br>
<br>
This dovetails nicely with the other thread about how we should be doing<br>
cross project interactions.<br>
<br>
What would be best, would be having horizon released as a separate<br>
library on pypi like the clients and oslo libs.<br>
<br>
Then openstack-dashboard, and all the plugins could rely on the same<br>
base library, without hacks like:<br>
<br>
deps =<br>
-r{toxinidir}/requirements.txt<br>
-r{toxinidir}/test-requirements.txt<br>
<a href="http://tarballs.openstack.org/horizon/horizon-master.tar.gz" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://tarballs.openstack.org/horizon/horizon-master.tar.gz</a><br>
<br>
in tox.ini or<br>
<br>
# Testing Requirements<br>
<a href="http://tarballs.openstack.org/horizon/horizon-master.tar.gz#egg=horizon" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://tarballs.openstack.org/horizon/horizon-master.tar.gz#egg=horizon</a><br>
<br>
in (test-)requirements.txt<br>
<br>
Is that on roadmap?<br>
