09:38:01 zigo First, that's forbidden by the Debian policy to do that. Second, I'm not packaging for chroot or venvs... packages are supposed to be co-installable.
09:38:25 sean-k-mooney well tere are packages on debian that do that
09:38:33 sean-k-mooney and yes i know they are ment ot be co installable
09:38:58 sean-k-mooney i was just giving you options since bobcat wont be 2.0 compatiable in its entirity
09:39:04 sean-k-mooney althoguh caracal should be
09:39:51 zigo It's packages that are supposed to be different implementation of the same functionality, like gawk vs mawk. This is *NOT* for having multiple versions of the *SAME* package.
09:40:06 zigo So, your option is unfortunately not an option ... :/
09:40:29 zigo sean-k-mooney: Really, my only viable option is to have patches backported from master ...
09:40:31 sean-k-mooney ya where i saw it was differnt pipewire backend plugins
09:42:17 sean-k-mooney zigo: so it was not a comunity goal to get this done this cycle
09:42:23 sean-k-mooney so they may or may not be written
09:42:49 sean-k-mooney that said several of us really wanted to get to that point since it was discussed as a possibel goal a few times
09:42:50 zigo This fact (that it was not a comunity goal) doesn't change anything to the situation, unfortunately ...
09:43:30 zigo I can live with a broken heat package in Unstable for some time, that's ok-ish, the backport will probably work.
09:43:35 sean-k-mooney well the question is do you need bobcat to run with 2.0 for debian or is the 2.0 change going to happen later
09:43:48 zigo But it has to be taken seriously and it'd be best if we have a patch soon.
09:44:05 zigo I'd have to discuss with the SQLAlchemy maintainer...
09:44:21 zigo Though he's pressing to have the package migrate to Unstable ...
09:44:23 sean-k-mooney what im really getting at is what was your orgianl plan and timeline
09:44:39 sean-k-mooney ya so i think it woudl be goood to get it in unstable
09:44:50 sean-k-mooney so that we can hopefuly get it in ubuntu 24.04
09:44:53 zigo My original plan was to have Bobcat support 2.0, and upload it together with OpenStack when Bobcat is released.
09:45:02 sean-k-mooney ack
09:45:19 zigo I may follow that path even with a broken heat package in Unstable...
09:45:32 sean-k-mooney for what its worth i was really really hoping all openstack whoudl have got to 2.0 compatibliy in bobcat too
09:45:57 zigo FYI, that's ortogonal to maintaining the unofficial bookworm-bobcat backport repository that most Debian users will consume instead of unstable/testing.

09:46:31 zigo Also, the real question we should ask zzzeek about: how come he's breaking everyone ?!?
09:46:53 zigo The Linux kernel is *never* breaking userland, I don't see why this must happen every weekend in the Python ecosystem. :(
09:47:05 sean-k-mooney zigo: this is not zzzeek fault
09:47:22 zigo I admit I don't have the details (didn't have time to look).
09:47:30 sean-k-mooney zigo: in fact the 1.4 bridge release is them going well out of there way to provide a smooth upgrade path
09:48:01 WJeffs Hey all, is anyone running AMD genoa cpus, that I could query some stuff to them?
09:48:06 zigo Well, there should be no need for an upgrade path, there should be backward compat forever, that's the point I'm making.
09:48:38 sean-k-mooney zigo: right which as a software maintainer you hsould knwo woudl be unresable ot continue in a supprot way
09:48:48 sean-k-mooney he coudl freeze the old apis
09:49:02 sean-k-mooney but there were fundemetal changes to the core
09:49:14 sean-k-mooney to use and adpat to new python changes
09:49:25 zigo How do you explain the Linux kernel does it the proper way then?
09:49:29 sean-k-mooney and to solve some correctness issues that needed the api to change
09:49:58 zigo And the kernel is a *WAY* bigger and complicated...
09:50:01 sean-k-mooney zigo: by letting the old api bit rot
09:50:25 zigo Well, the current situation shows it was the way to go... :)
09:51:01 sean-k-mooney im not really sure it does
09:51:16 sean-k-mooney we are not going to be droping 1.4 support in openstack for some time
09:51:56 sean-k-mooney and i dont think zzzeek plans ot dicontinue it for some tiem either
09:52:08 sean-k-mooney yes the fact breakign changes are required is unfortunet
09:52:24 sean-k-mooney that does not mean we shoudl never do them just in frequesntly when its the best option
09:53:23 zigo Don't get me wrong, I do love SQLAlchemy, though in the past, every upgrade to a minor version has broke all of OpenStack. The switch from 1.4 to 2.x is kind of very painful, as we're discussing. Well, that's *very* bad practice that zzzeek should learn to *not* reproduce ever again.
09:54:07 sean-k-mooney its actully not that painful to adapt too
09:54:16 sean-k-mooney but it was not a priorty for most of the maintainers
09:54:33 sean-k-mooney only a few have wanted to spend time on it and done most of the work
09:54:33 zigo But the old code should still be working with the new version ...
09:54:53 sean-k-mooney it is in 1.4 which is a long term supprot branch to make it work
09:55:01 zigo Doesn't work for me...
09:55:07 sean-k-mooney zigo: to be clear some of the api had diffent behavior on diffent backend due to bugs
09:55:11 zigo Only a single version will live in the distro, as we discussed...
09:55:15 sean-k-mooney that coudl not be fixed without breakign changes
09:55:22 zigo Ok.
09:55:34 zigo :)
09:55:40 zigo This makes a lot more sence then.
09:55:56 sean-k-mooney its becasue theere is no one SQL
09:56:08 sean-k-mooney thers is TSQL PSQL and what ever mariadb calls it
09:56:15 zigo Maybe zzzeek can help fixing Heat and oslo.db?
09:56:29 sean-k-mooney oslo.db i think basically works
09:56:39 sean-k-mooney heat im not sure about
09:56:59 zigo Oh, btw, should I revert my packaging to oslo.db 12.3.2 ?
09:57:24 sean-k-mooney stephenfin: ^
09:57:28 zigo (ie: leave 14.0.0 in Experimental, and just bump to 12.3.2 in unstable...)
09:58:31 zigo Anyways thanks a lot for discussing the mater with me, that's very helpful.
09:58:45 zigo At least, I know what's going on.
09:58:50 sean-k-mooney https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:sqlalchemy-20+status:open
09:58:59 sean-k-mooney that is the topic wiht all the pending packages
09:59:13 sean-k-mooney which unfortunelly still has nova and placement in it
10:09:30 zigo stephenfin: Most patches are from you, so I have to thank you as well ! :)
10:10:15 sean-k-mooney yep stephenfin went out of there way to try and update proejct that did nto have peopel steping up to do it
10:10:32 sean-k-mooney unfortuetly that still needs that projects core team to review it
10:25:27 bauzas sean-k-mooney: again, please understand that we have review priorities
10:25:42 bauzas and sqla 2.0 isn't really a prio
10:26:37 sean-k-mooney bauzas: it really was ment to be
10:26:48 sean-k-mooney and i find the fact you didnt consider it to be one a probelm
10:27:41 sean-k-mooney it means we are not comunicating what our priorites are as a team properly
10:44:32 stephenfin bauzas: I struggle to see how adapting to the new major version of a critical library is anything but a priority, especially when it's being treated as such by every other project team
11:53:05 bauzas sorry was at lunch
11:53:32 bauzas I don't want to argue about why we didn't had time to review yet the series, but I'm just trying to merge it before RC1
11:54:00 bauzas so, please understand my concerns and the fact that we still also need to review other changes
12:08:16 bauzas stephenfin: will you have time to upload a new PS due to my comment ?
12:09:21 stephenfin I already did, but it's crashing and burning
12:09:25 stephenfin https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/860829/3
12:11:10 sean-k-mooney that looks like the change you made is actully the problem
12:11:17 sean-k-mooney and the previous version was likely correct
12:11:17 stephenfin yup
12:11:43 stephenfin I did test with another reproducer locally but I must have missed something
12:12:21 sean-k-mooney well its actully failing in tempest too
12:12:32 sean-k-mooney so its not just a test artifact
12:13:16 sean-k-mooney sqlalchemy.exc.InvalidRequestError: One or more mappers failed to initialize - can't proceed with initialization of other mappers. Triggering mapper: 'mapped class BlockDeviceMapping->block_device_mapping'. Original exception was: Instance.block_device_mapping and back-reference BlockDeviceMapping.instance are both of the same direction symbol('MANYTOONE'). Did you mean to
12:13:18 sean-k-mooney set remote_side on the many-to-one side ?
12:14:06 bauzas that's why I want to be on par with the existing
