Re: [rdo-list] No maintainer for networking-arista

Hi Sukhdev,
I think designating another interested maintainer for the package that would
take it over and help solve RDO folks any integration issues with the
package will be enough.

Hi Sukhdev,
one requirement to remain in RDO is to have an active maintainer to
update/fix issues in packages.
We're also looking for upstream developpers to collaborate with us on
the release management side.
In networking-arista, some issues we had to deal with:
- no stable/newton branches
- no stable tarballs
https://tarballs.openstack.org/networking-arista/
As a release wrangler, I can help maintainers to get things released
in time, but if there's no releases, I have no clue on what to ship in
our repositories.
We're no network experts, we have no networking-arista specific CI
jobs running, and we have a whole distro to maintain, so unless
someone steps up to maintain it, best choice for us is to drop it
rather than shipping half-broken packages. Off couse, we're looking
forward working with upstream maintainers to ship OpenStack packages
that reflects positively on both downstream/upstream.
Regards,
H.
