Why are we using pbr to get the > version of an installed package, instead of asking pkg_resources? Why do you make that sound like an either-or? pbr *does* ask pkg_resources. And if the thing isn't installed, we have to figure the version out ourselves. We can either have that if-then-else code in one place, e.g. pbr, or we can have it in many places, and suffer code copyitis. The 100ms issue above is either: - the package isn't installed, so we're falling back to complex code - a bug. -Rob -- Robert Collins <rbtcoll...@hp.com> Distinguished Technologist HP Converged Cloud __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
