Hello Everyone,
You might have seen the discussion around dropping the lower constraints testing as it becomes more challenging than the current value of doing it.
As a downstream distribution package maintainer, I see this as a major regression of the code quality that upstream is shipping. Without l-c tests, there's no assurance of the reality of a lower-bound dependency.
So then we're back to 5 years ago, when OpenStack just artificially was setting very high lower bound because we just didn't know...
Hi Zigo, We discussed the usage of l-c file among different packagers in 14th Jan TC meeting[1], can you confirm if Debian directly depends on l-c file and use them OR it is good for code quality if project maintains it? Below packagers does not use l-c file instead use u-c - RDO - openstack-charms - ubuntu [1] http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/tc/2021/tc.2021-01-14-15.00.log.html... -gmann
Please don't do it.
Cheers,
