Re: [openstack-dev] [neutron][lbaas][fwaas][oslo] Common code between VMWare neutron plugin and services plugins
It shouldn’t drag any additional dependencies - it’s REST API wrapper so nothing beyond XML/JSON/HTTP/threads should be used in these components. > On Dec 15, 2014, at 18:23, Russell Bryant wrote: > > On 12/15/2014 11:20 AM, Kobi Samoray wrote: >> 3.

Importing code from elsewhere, which is not in the requirements file, is done in a few places for vendor libraries. As long as the mainline code doesn’t require it, and unit tests similarly can run without that import being present, I don’t see a big problem wit hit. Doug > >3.

This option sounds best to me, unless the NSX support brings in some additional dependencies to oslo.vmware that warrant keeping it separate from the existing oslo.vmware. -- Russell Bryant ___ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
