Hi there! I maintain the Horizon package in Debian Sid. Sid currently contains Liberty. It is a constantly reoccurring fact that Django is a too fast moving target. The last Django 1.9 release broke lots of my (Django related) packages, Horizon included (see: https://bugs.debian.org/809575). I have nearly finished fixing all packages regarding Django 1.9 compatibility, the last of them being python-jingo (which is an indirect build-dependency).
I know that the Horizon team is constantly also fighting this battle, though this happens only in the master branch. When django-compressor has been released with Django 1.9 compatibility, what has been done is cap it in the Stable gate. While all of this is very good, this isn't enough for me in Debian Sid. Best would be if this kind of cap was only a temporary solution until we really fix the issues. If possible (I perfectly know that in some case this may be difficult), I'd like to have Horizon stable to contain backports for Django last release (currently 1.9), instead of just capping the requirements. Otherwise, Horizon becomes the single piece in all of OpenStack where I spend all of my maintainer's time, which really isn't good (there's lots of work to be done in other fields). Your thoughts? Am I the only one interested by this? Let's say I'm the only one interested by it (I hope it's not the case), if I do the work, will the patches be accepted in the Stable branch?
