Thanks, Sean! I knew I was missing something really basic! I was under the impression that 9.x is Stein, like it happens with main projects (major=branch). I could not find any doc explaining oslo.messaging versioning, perhaps Oslo could release 9.5.1 off the stein branch? The issue remains that, even though oslo backports bugfixes into their stable branches, kolla (and very possibly other deployment solutions) no longer benefit from them. -yoctozepto pon., 30 gru 2019 o 16:01 Sean McGinnis <sean.mcginnis@gmx.com> napisał(a):

Hi Folks,
as the subject goes, my installation has been hit by an old bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oslo.messaging/+bug/1828841 (bug details not important, linked here for background)
I am using Stein, deployed with recent Kolla-built source-based images (with only slight modifications compared to vanilla ones). Kolla's procedure for building source-based images considers upper constraints, which, unfortunately, turned out to be lagging behind a few releases w.r.t. oslo.messaging at least. The fix was in 9.7.0 released on May 21, u-c still point to 9.5.0 from Feb 26 and the latest of Stein is 9.8.0 from Jul 18.
It seems oslo.messaging is missing from the automatic updates that bot proposes: https://review.opendev.org/#/q/owner:%22OpenStack+Proposal+Bot%22+project:op...
Per: https://opendev.org/openstack/releases/src/branch/master/doc/source/referenc... this upper-constraint proposal should be happening for all releases.
This is normal and what is expected.
Requirements are only updated for the branch in which those releases happen. So if there is a release of oslo.messaging for stable/train, only the stable/train upper constraints are updated for that new release. The stable/stein branch will not be affected because that shows what the tested upper constraints were for that branch.
The last stable/stein release for oslo.messaging was 9.5.0:
https://opendev.org/openstack/releases/src/branch/master/deliverables/stein/...
And 9.5.0 is what is set in the stable/stein upper-constraints:
https://opendev.org/openstack/requirements/src/branch/stable/stein/upper-con...
To get that raised, whatever necessary bugfixes that are required in oslo.messaging would need to be backported per-cycle until stable/stein (as in, if it was in current master, it would need to be backported and merged to stable/train first, then stable/stein), and once merged a stable release would need to be proposed for that branch's version of the library.
Once that stable release is done, that will propose the update to the upper constraint for the given branch.
I would be glad if someone investigated why it happens(/ed) and audited whether other OpenStack projects don't need updating as well to avoid running on old deps when new are awaiting for months. :-) Please note this might apply to other branches as well.
PS: for some reason oslo.messaging Stein release notes ( https://docs.openstack.org/releasenotes/oslo.messaging/stein.html ) are stuck at 9.5.0 as well, this could be right (I did not inspect the sources) but I am adding this in PS so you have more things to correlate if they need be.
Again, as expected. The last stable/stein release was 9.5.0, so that is correct that the release notes for stein only show up to that point.
