Alembic is used by python-oslo.db, and python-concurrent.futures is used by python-oslo.concurrency. They are core components of it. It may happen some day that a version of Alembic would work for a release of OpenStack, but not for the next one (and probably the same for python-concurrency.futures). As a consequence, I don't think these are wise choices, as it'd be best to keep them within each repository of OpenStack release on OpenStack infra. As for python-dogpile.core, it should be removed from Sid as upstream wrote it isn't needed anymore, and python-dogpile.cache is the lib behind python-oslo.cache. It is also written by the same upstream as SQLA and Alembic, so I do expect API breakage that may impact OpenStack. However, there's a bunch of packages that are less tightly linked that would probably be better picks. Here's a short list: - python-coffin - python-colander - python-couleur - python-crank - python-cursive - python-dcos - python-editor - python-extras - python-falcon (with extra care for that one, as it's used by zaqar, but also by Mailman, IIRC) - python-pager - python-proboscis - python-rednose - python-rudolf - python-sure - python-termcolor - python-termstyle - q-text-as-data - sixer - ... These are, IMO, a better start than the packages you mentioned. Maybe we could start by these, and see how it goes. However, probably it'd be best to wait for after Stretch is released? There's no urgency, right? Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
