08:39 notmyname: we've got a proposed patch to python-swiftclient that adds a dependency to requirements.txt (it's already in global requirements). however, jenkins never passes because grenade fails with an ImportError error
08:39 notmyname: any ideas on why that happens or how to fix it?
08:39 notmyname: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/85453/
08:44 sdague: notmyname: so I think what's going on is that because the old side is stable/havana (but clients are always master) it's stripping out futures as that's not in stable/havana requirements
08:44 notmyname: stable/havana for what project? it's a client library, so that doesn't exist AFAIK
08:44 sdague: the direct fix would be to propose futures into stable/havana requirements
08:44 sdague: stable/havana requirements
08:45 notmyname: which isn't true. ie it's not a requirement in havana, nor does "havana" exist for python-*client
08:48 notmyname: sdague: oh, do you mean the openstack/requirements repo itself? on its stable/havana branch?
08:50 sdague: notmyname: yep
08:52 sdague: because master clients need to exist with stable/havana servers, we do a sync on stable/havana requirements on the old side for grenade
08:53 sdague: we really should *also* be making the clients run against old servers outside of grenade (which would also catch it), but they don't today
08:54 notmyname: sdague: but clients and servers are independent (and separated by a network, almost by definition). so why does the server-side dependency matter to the client? eg swift doesn't use requests but swiftclient does, and that's ok
08:54 sdague: notmyname: because glance stable/master needs to use swift
08:55 sdague: swiftclient
08:55 sdague: the dependencies are on the client consumers, which are the other openstack services, so a if a glance stable/havana can't import swiftclient master, that's no good
09:00 notmyname: sdague: I don't agree with that logic, but thanks for the explanation. I'll tell the patch submitter that he also needs to patch the stable branch of the requirements repo
09:00 sdague: I'm rechecking it to see if it takes now
09:02 sdague: notmyname: ok. if you have an alternative proposal about how we ensure we can run glance stable/havana with swiftclient master, it's something we could put back on the drawing board. This is where we got to after having clients completely wedge the gate by dragging in incompatible requirements.
09:03 sdague: before we did that the install process would often install / uninstall keystone client 4 - 6 times during a devstack setup at different versions
09:04 sdague: as an example
