Hi,

We have started working on synchronizing OpenStack clients from Stein release into Fedora rawhide official repos. The goal is not only updating it in fedora but also removing non required openstack packages on Fedora and automating the process as much as possible.

An initial analysis of the packages that we can remove from Fedora shows that following ones can be safely retired:

python-ceilometermiddleware

python-keystonemiddleware

python-os-win

python-oslo-vmware

python-oslo-sphinx

python-pycadf

python-oslo-cache

python-cursive

python-castellan

python-oslo-rootwrap

python-oslo-middleware

python-oslo-policy

python-oslo-reports

python-oslo-privsep

python-taskflow

python-automaton

python-microversion-parse

python-reno

python-osprofile

python-oslo-messaging

python-oslo-service

python-oslo-concurrency

I also have doubts about if we should maintain in Fedora:

diskimage-builder

python-hardware

python-gnocchiclient

Any opinion about it?

I'm documenting the work related to this in https://review.rdoproject.org/etherpad/p/fedora-clients-sync

If you have questions or think that retiring these packages from Fedora repos may cause any problem, please let me know on #rdo freenode channel or using RDO mailing lists.

Best regards,

Alfredo
