[rdo-users] Python3 proposal: stabilized Fedora repositories for OpenStack

Hi, Following our discussions during today's RDO meeting about a draft to start working on python3 support in RDO, I expand the discussion to the wider group. Please keep the discussion on the dev list, users list is only there to raise awareness. Since it's a huge topic, I started an etherpad to collect our thoughts. It is on upstream etherpad in order to collaborate with upstream as we hope this would be useful for upstream gating. Please read the etherpad for details and provide your feedback. https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/stabilized-fedora-repositories-for-opens... The main idea is to use stabilized Fedora repositories, it is a lot of work and we intend to start working that during the Rocky cycle. This will allow us to work on migrating our packaging on python3 and support modularity which will ship with EL8 (currently a Fedora only feature). There's a lot of work but we aim to be ready on time to migrate to Python3 when EL8 will be released. This is not about supporting python3 for end-users, until EL8 gets released, this is only intended for our downstream and upstream CI pipelines. Regards, H.
