otherwiseguy is Terry Wilson, CC'd, but this one is on me. I uploaded "2.6.0.dev1". This was to enable OpenStack CI to start running tests using the version of the Python library that includes Python 3. I followed some python packaging / pypi versioning guidelines to pick that number. It indicates that it's a dev snapshot of what will eventually (presumably) be 2.6.0. I know OVS generates 2.5.90, but I don't find that appropriate to use, as it isn't 2.5 at all. Regarding the debian issue, I don't see a need to package anything new beyond 2.5.x. It just won't include Python 3 support yet. The real solution to making this less awkward would be to split the Python library out of the OVS git tree so that it can be released independently of OVS itself. That way a proper verison could be released that includes Python 3 support. -- Russell Bryant _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
