After some discussion with some of the interested parties, we're planning to add a third .z element to the version numbers and use that to handle backports in the same way that we do for RPC: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/134623/ > Next steps: > - Jay suggested making a second spec that would lay out what it would > look like if we used google protocol buffers. > - Dan: do you need some help in making this happen, do we need some > volunteers? I'm not planning to look into this, especially since we discussed it a couple years ago when deciding to do what we're currently doing. If someone else does, creates a thing that is demonstrably more useful than what we have, and provides a migration plan, then cool. Otherwise, I'm not really planning to stop what I'm doing at the moment. > - Are there any other concrete things we can do to get this usable by > other projects in a timely manner? To be honest, since the summit, I've not done anything with the current oslo spec, given the potential for doing something different that was raised. I know that cinder folks (at least) are planning to start copying code into their tree to get moving. I think we need a decision to either (a) dump what we've got into the proposed library (or incubator) and plan to move forward incrementally or (b) each continue doing our own thing(s) in our own trees while we wait for someone to create something based on GPB that does what we want. --Dan
