While it seems nice on the surface, the unfortunate truth is that neither the infra team nor the various package maintainers has the excess of manpower needed to be able to near-instantly package new requirements and new versions of requirements for the platforms on which we run our CI jobs. I fear that the turn-around on getting new requirements into projects would go from being on the order of hours or days to weeks or even months. We could work around that by generating our own system packages for multiple platforms rather than relying on actual distro packages, but doing that from an automated process isn't _really_ testing distro packages at that point so wouldn't necessarily be any better in the end than the situation we're in now. -- Jeremy Stanley __________________________________________________________________________ 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
