Lots of uploads<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grepping my IRC log for the BTS bot output shows that I uploaded roughly 244 times in Curitiba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Removing Python 2 from OpenStack by uploading OpenStack Stein in Sid<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of these uploads were uploading OpenStack Stein from Experimental to Sid, with a breaking record of 96 uploads in a single day. As the work for Python 2 removal was done before the Buster release (uploads in Experimental), this effectively removed a lot of Python 2 support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Removing Python 2 from Django packages<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But once that was done, I started uploading some Django packages. Indeed, since Django 2.2 was uploaded to Sid with the removal of Python 2 support, a lot of dangling python-django-* needed to be fixed. Not only Python 2 support needed to be removed from them, but often, patches were needed in order to fix at least unit tests since Django 2.2 removed a lot of things that were deprecated since a few earlier versions. I went through all of the django packages we have in Debian, and I believe I fixed most of them. I uploaded 43 times some Django packages, fixing 39 packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Removing Python 2 support from non-django or OpenStack packages<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Python BoF at Curitiba, we collectively decided it was time to remove Python 2, and that we’ll try to do as much of that work as possible before Bullseye. Details of this will come from our dear leader p1otr, so I’ll let him write the document and wont comment (yet) on how we’re going to proceed. Anyway, we already have a “python2-rm” release tracker. After the Python BOF, I then also started removing Python 2 support on a few package with more generic usage. Hopefully, touching only leaf packages, without breaking things. I’m not sure of the total count of packages that I touched, probably a bit less than a dozen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horizon broken in Sid since the beginning of July<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, Horizon, the OpenStack dashboard, is currently still broken in Debian Sid. Indeed, since Django 1.11, the login() function in views.py has been deprecated in the favor of a LoginView class. And in Django 2.2, the support for the function has been removed. As a consequence, since the 9th of July, when Django 2.2 was uploaded, Horizon’s openstack_auth\/views.py is boken. Upstream says they are targeting Django 2.2 for next February. That’s a way too late. Hopefully, someone will be able to fix this situation with me (it’s probably a bit too much for Django my skills). Once this is fixed, I’ll be able to work on all the Horizon plugins which are still in Experimental. Note that I already fixed all of Horizon’s reverse dependencies in Sid, but some of the patches need to be upstreamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next work (from home): fixing piuparts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve already written a first attempt at a patch for piuparts, so that it uses Python 3 and not Python 2 anymore. That patch is already as a merge request in Salsa, though I haven’t had the time to test it yet. What’s remaining to do is: actually test using Puiparts with this patch, and fix debian\/control so that it switches to Python 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
