What timeline are we thinking is realistic for rolling out the new pip
resolver? (latest update on resolver work:
https://pradyunsg.me/blog/2019/08/06/pip-update-2/ ) I'm re-upping this
question which I originally asked on a GitHub issue about the rollout:
https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/6536#issuecomment-521696430 and would
prefer to corral answers there.
This depends a lot on Pradyun's health and free time, and code review
availability from other pip maintainers, and whether we get some grants
we're applying for, but I think the sequence is something like:
1) build logic refactor: in progress, done sometime December-February
2) UX research and design, test infrastructure building, talking to
downstreams and users about config flags and transition schedules: we
need funding for this; earliest start is probably December, will take
2-3 months
3) introduce the abstractions defined in resolvelib/zazo while doing
alpha testing: will take a few months, so, conservatively estimating,
May 2020?
4) adopting better dependency resolution and do beta testing: ?
Is this right? What am I missing?
I ask because some of the info-gathering work is stuff a project manager
and/or UX researcher should do, in my opinion, and because some progress
on the increase in metadata strictness
https://github.com/pypa/packaging-problems/issues/264 and other issues
might help with concerns people have brought up here.
