This is just a hint that you can do it. I proposed to have "apache-airflow-pinned" package release separately. with clear purpose in mind "to have repeatable installation" I agreed having the --constraint and having to know which version to install might be confusing - that was my point in the discussion - but there are different opinions. For now I just want to merge requirements.txt and it's maintenance mechanism so that we avoid further breakage. But the discussion continues here how to approach it: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/rf8b0ea9a7b93482734ae9e10e7d87f3c31679edb5eaf88496e733aa5%40%3Cdev.airflow.apache.org%3E I invite you to take part in the discussion and propose some solutions/approach. I would really love to have yours (and others) opinions in the thread there. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
