Hi,
With the latest oslo.db 12.1.0 release it seems multiple
repositories are broken (see the corresponding requirements patch
[1] for details, and probably there are more, that are not tested
within requirements repository). The patch that introduces the
break [2] "is necessary for oslo.db and
openstack applications in general to be able to run on
SQLAlchemy 2.0" according to patch author.
Since we are after the 3rd milestone of Zed, we have very limited time to figure out what to do. The 2 options are:
1) fix every broken repository to work with oslo.db 12.1.0
as far as we know this is quite impossible as for some
repositories the already existing fixes took almost a cycle to be
implemented and there are still undiscovered bugs around this. (we
don't know if this is really true, or probably there are cases
where it's easy to fix)
2) revert the breaking change [2] and do another release in
oslo.db now without it (and add it back after Zed release &
release oslo.db with it as soon as possible in Antelope cycle)
as far as we understand this does not cause any issue for
those who already adapted to oslo.db 12.1.0, so this should not be
painful
Based on the above Release team is opting toward the 2nd option.
Please let us know your opinion!
