openstacksdk, ironicclient, os-fault: Please replace python3-appdirs dependency with platformdirs
Hi,
3 bugs have been opened in Debian to get appdirs replaced by platformdirs:
https://bugs.debian.org/1067995 https://bugs.debian.org/1067999 https://bugs.debian.org/1068000
Here's the bug report content:
python3-appdirs is dead upstream[1] and its Debian maintainer has indicated that it should not be included in trixie[2]. A recommended replacement is python3-platformdirs[3], which is a fork of appdirs with a very similar API.
Please migrate from appdirs to platformdirs or some other replacement, so that appdirs can be removed.
Thanks, smcv

Can we do that in upstream OpenStack, during the Dalmatian cycle?
Cheers,

I already started this for OpenStackSDK back in June:
https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:%22replace-appdirs%22
Hopefully it's no longer impacted, and the other affected projects can merely copy that fix? Or I can try to find time to push it myself if nobody else gets to it.

Looks like it's quite easy to replace appdirs.

However this revealed that os-faults is badly unmanitained. I checked the governance repo and noticed this does not belong to any projects. Does anyone know any details about this project ? If no then we probably should consider retiring it (and probably the whole performa project[1]).
I spent some time to fix the broken CI and have made some progress. However devstack job is still broken and I may need someone more familiar with os-fault to look into this.

One thing we may have to be aware of is that this library is used by rally-openstack, so if we retire this library then we have to find out the update needed in Rally.
