So in order to reduce confusion I'll try to explain this in a little more
detail but the TL;DR is:
No only nova's direct requirements are in global-requirements.txt. *all*
requirements are in upper-constraints.txt.
Now the longer version:
* nova requires oslo.messaging, which is listed in
openstack/nova:requirements.txt.
* openstack/nova:requirements.txt is regularly updated by the proposal-bot with
the relevant parts of global-requirements.txt
* the nova project runs the 'check-requirements' jobs ensuring that
everything in:
openstack/nova:requirements.txt
openstack/nova:test-requirements.txt
and relevant parts of openstack/nova:setup.cfg
are listed in global-requirements.
* As oslo.messaging is an OpenStack project it's bound by the same rules above
* However any non-OpenStack libraries used by either nova or oslo.messaging
are not in global-requirements.txt. There is a nightly job that installs
all of global-requirements.txt (and dependencies) and tracks the exact
version of each library in a file ... upper-constraints.txt
So anything you need to install to use any part of OpenStack[1] will be listed
in upper-constraints.txt.
So if you really need to install version $x of library $foo you can edit
upper-constraints.txt to state that.
There are a couple of gotchas. I recommend you use edit-constraints from
openstack-requirements (on pypi) to actually edit the constraints files. Also
if
you're doing anything "too funky" you're probably best actually editing a
requirements and then using generate-constraints to actually generate the
constraints file. That's time/network expensive but will result in a valid set
where editing the constraints file at will could result in an
incompatible and thus uninstallable system.
I really hope that helps and hasn't just confused the situation.
Yours Tony.
