[rdo-list] networking-cisco in RDO

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.
We have the similar situation with networking-cisco.
We do have designated maintainers in rdoinfo:
maintainers:
- openstack-networking(a)cisco.com
- brdemers(a)cisco.com
But stable/newton and mitaka branches do not exist and there wasn't a
release since June:
https://github.com/openstack/networking-cisco/releases
Since we didn't get any new input for RDO Newton we are packaging
latest git snapshot[1] but that's a blind guess since networking-cisco
is not covered in RDO CI.
Also since stable/mitaka is missing we had to pin to 3.2.0 in RDO Mitaka[2]
We'd welcome guidance from designated maintainers about release plans
(is it going to be branchless like Tempest?) and to explore 3rd party
CI setup on review.rdoproject.org for networking-cisco reviews.
Cheers,
Alan
