I noticed I didn't update this thread. I managed to get a response from the current maintainer of networking-mlnx and it was confirmed there is an intention to keep maintaining the repo. The missing stable/wallaby has been created. The deprecation in puppet-neutron was merged once but it has been reverted. On Mon, Jul 19, 2021 at 4:14 PM Takashi Kajinami <tkajinam@redhat.com> wrote:

Because I've received no feedback about this topic, I'll move forward the deprecation of networking-mlnx support in puppet-neutron. https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/puppet-neutron/+/800502

If anybody has concerns please share your thoughts on the proposed change.

Hello,

I noticed the networking-mlnx repo[1] is not updated for a while and looks unmaintained. The repo doesn't have a stable/wallaby release created, and its setup.cfg doesn't include python 3.8 as a supported platform. https://opendev.org/x/networking-mlnx

Is anybody still maintaining this repo ?

If the repo is no longer maintained, I'll propose deprecating support for the plugin from puppet-neutron. Please let me know if you have any concern with that deprecation.

I appreciate any input about this $topic.

Thank you, Takashi Kajinami
