Hello everyone, Here is a formal ask for consensus on the new process of suspending some providers that hold us back from upgrading old dependencies.
It has been discussed in https://lists.apache.org/thread/j98bgw9jo7xr4fvjh27d6bfoyxr1omcm and since it seems we have a consensus, I am calling for one (you do not have to respond +1, this is what lazy consensus is about - but feel free to do so). The proposed wording is in the PR: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/30359 Copying it below for reference (might get slightly modified during review): -------------------------- ### Suspending releases for providers In case a provider is found to require old dependencies that are not compatible with upcoming versions of the Apache Airflow or with newer dependencies required by other providers, the provider's release process can be suspended. This means: * The provider's status is set to "suspended" * No new releases of the provider will be made until the problem with dependencies is solved * Sources of the provider remain in the repository for now (in the future we might add process to remove them) * No new changes will be accepted for the provider (other than the ones that fix the dependencies) * The provider will be removed from the list of Apache Airflow extras in the next minor/major release (2.7.0, 2.8.0, 3.0.0 etc.) * Tests of the provider will not be run on our CI (in main branch) * Dependencies of the provider will not be installed in our main branch CI image nor included in constraints The suspension might be triggered by any committer, providing that: * The maintainers of dependencies of the provider are notified about the issue and are given a reasonable time to resolve it (at least 1 week) * Other options to resolve the issue have been exhausted and there are good reasons for upgrading the old dependencies in question * Explanation, why we need to suspend the provider is stated in a public discussion in the devlist. Followed by LAZY CONSENSUS or VOTE (with the majority of the committers agreeing that we should suspend the provider) The suspension will be lifted when the dependencies of the provider are made compatible with the Apache Airflow and with other providers.
