Greetings! Fedora Infrastructure recently deployed Bodhi 4.0.0 to production, which included quite a few backwards incompatible changes[0]. Some of the changes have resulted in older Bodhi clients (less than 4.0.0) not being compatible with the new version of the server.
In Fedora, FESCo decided to allow the Bodhi 4.0.0 update to go to Fedora 29 and 30, and for us to add a bodhi3 compat client package in case there were any users counting on using the bodhi3 client with a non-Fedora Bodhi server[1] (believe it or not, there are other Bodhi deployments out there!) EPEL 7 currently has a fairly old Bodhi version (2.11.0). This version is also not compatible with the Bodhi 4 server. What do you think about upgrading Bodhi in EPEL 7 as well? There are a few things I'd like to highlight for consideration here: * Bodhi 4 is Python 3 only. Bodhi 2 is Python 2 only. So, upgrading to Bodhi 4 isn't just a switch to a newer Bodhi, it will also mean a switch in Python versions. This will affect dependencies (there are a few). * I think we might be missing Python 3 dependencies for Bodhi 4. * It might be good to consider dropping the Bodhi server as we do this. EPEL 7 has versions of some of Bodhi's server dependencies that are too old for Bodhi 4. I *think* the client should be OK with the client dependency versions, but of course you never know until you try. * Would we want to maintain a bodhi2 compat package for EPEL 7, analagous to the bodhi3 compat package we made for Fedora? * What about EPEL 6? It's still on Bodhi 0.9, and I have never seen or worked on that codebase. Unfortunately, it has Python 2.6 and not any verison of Python 3, to my knowledge. Anything else you can think of?
