[GeoNode-devel] Python 3 / Django 2 Upgrade version naming and branch

Wed Mar 20 09:29:36 PDT 2019

I've been monitoring this list thread, I hadn't replied yet because
I'm not too concerned with exactly which branch is used, we can work
with whatever branching strategy the community would prefer.  That
being said, these changes will obviously be breaking changes.  I do
think that 2.10 should be released prior to dropping support for
Python 2.7.  Considering Python 2's pending end of life and the end of
this year, I think that our focus should primarily be on Python 3.  So
far I've been doing work to get master ready for the transition to
Python 3, but none of the work I have PR'd against master thus far
drops any support for Python 2.

There will come a point where we'll want to make a clean break away
from Python 2, and that is where we'll need to choose what branch that
work is going to be PR'd against.  I personally think that branch
should be master, because I think our focus should be on Python 3
moving forward, but if that branch is 2.20 we can work with that as
well.  I would suggest waiting until the last minute to cut that 2.20
branch away from master, so that they're as close as possible right up
until the new branch drops support for Python 2.

Thanks.

>>>>> I’m a little bit concerned about this since potential incompatibilities would be likely as much as longer the release time of Python 3 will be. I believe the more we can cut 2.10 and 2.11 very close to the merge of PR for py3 into master the more we stay safe. Once that might happen then I would keep 2.11 just for fixing critical issues and master for new features
