Hey! Whoever develops a provider, and wants to change/update dependencies, I just merged a PR that moves management of provider dependencies to where they belong - ie the “provider.yaml” of this provider (at least until they are in the same repo as airflow this is the best place),
If you were used to editing setup.py for that - not any more. The setup.py is only for Airflow and its non-provider extras. I updated (a little) Provider’s contributing docs here: https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.rst#provider-packages - and you can easily see how all providers keep their dependencies in the provider.yaml files. This brings us a bit closer to discussion about splitting providers from the main repo (which is inevitably coming). The PR is here: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/24672 As a bonus we also have this nice, automatically generated json file https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/generated/provider_dependencies.json listing all providers and showing direct dependencies of the providers in a single place, which is even better than previous setup.py which had a lot of indirection. J.
