As noted by Doug Hellmann, the following oslo modules have been graduated to libraries and will no longer be receiving support/maintainance.
openstack/cinder: config.generator
openstack/cinder: excutils
openstack/cinder: gettextutils
openstack/cinder: importutils
openstack/cinder: jsonutils
openstack/cinder: log_handler
openstack/cinder: network_utils
openstack/cinder: strutils
openstack/cinder: timeutils
openstack/cinder: units
To quote:
These modules have been deleted, and now only exist in the stable/juno branch of the incubator. We do not anticipate back-porting fixes except for serious security concerns, so it is important to update all projects to use the libraries where the modules now live.
Liaisons, please look through the list below and file bugs against your project for any changes needed to move to the new libraries and start working on the updates. We need to prioritize this work for early in Kilo to ensure that your projects do not fall further out of step. K-1 is the ideal target, with K-2 as an absolute latest date. I anticipate having several more libraries by the time the K-2 milestone arrives.
Most of the porting work involves adding dependencies and updating import statements, but check the documentation for each library for any special guidance. Also, because the incubator is updated to use our released libraries, you may end up having to port to several libraries *and* sync a copy of any remaining incubator dependencies that have not graduated all in a single patch in order to have a working copy. I suggest giving your review teams a heads-up about what to expect to avoid -2 for the scope of the patch.
Cinder should either make them internal cinder utilities, or use the library version, as appropriate.
Duncan,
Thanks for getting the bug open for this. Mike pointed me at this earlier this week and I had been meaning to get a bug opened. I hope to start pushing patches for these soon.
