Hello everyone, This is a second attempt for voting on Backport package release process.
This is just voting on the process itself, not on the release of the packages - we did not do it before so we have no process yet - so I would like to agree on that first. The discussion was not very active but i think the proposal below addresses all concerns people had so far. The voting will last till Tuesday 10 March 8 pm CET. All committers have a binding vote. My proposal for vote: 1. Packages are split "per provider". Packages will only 2. Whenever there are cross-package dependencies they are available as "extras". It is automatically derived from the code - no need to maintain it or change existing code. 3. The packages are testable using system tests and released only when system tests pass for those on the latest Airflow version (1.10.9 currently) and 3.6 Python version. This is on top of the unit tests running in master already. 4. The packages will be released with CALVER versioning 2020.03.06 . Likely in batches after testing is completed. 5. Status of testing of the packages will be updated in our wiki page https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AIRFLOW/Backported+providers+packages+for+Airflow+1.10.*+series 6. I will be coordinating an effort to add system tests and test the packages for as many providers as possible and try to get people interested in it. 7. In the future we will automate such tests providing that we agree on it - separate voting on "AIP-4 Support for Automation of System Tests for external systems" This is my (binding) +1 vote on it. More information: The current list of providers is available here: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/7506/files#diff-337e7c8a1a7c5e1e9be3c5d8063d7d4cR81 The current list of cross-dependencies (extras) is available here. https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/7506/files#diff-ea1f65a8eaac0cec7ae151dfdbbbc587R355 The proposal was discussed in this thread: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/rf6f2de8056b00ad084c96a9428670c14421a89ba2bbbd362d833bb50%40%3Cdev.airflow.apache.org%3E I have a PR that implements "extras" approach for cross-package dependencies here: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/7506 Related discussion about AIP-4 (Automation of system tests) is here: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r8c37e2289e8c8b438acc1415e9f2a1b74cd6feac831e02a17b01d88d%40%3Cdev.airflow.apache.org%3E -- Jarek Potiuk Polidea | Principal Software Engineer M: +48 660 796 129
