Hi Garrett, for our Python 3 as default feature, we would really need cloud-init to use Python 3 in rawhide (F22) by 24.2. Upstream already merged the patches, but didn't yet made a release. Would you please take what is in upstream bazaar and package it as a pre-release, so we can make it in time? I'm almost sure next release will hit use before the release of Fedora 22, so we can ship a non pre-release package for it once available. I'm also willing to do the packaging if you let me. s/hit use/hit us/ Upstream's python3 work is still very much ongoing, so while this may be okay for rawhide, I am reluctant to simply dump code that is this unstable into F22 because it carries such a high risk of breaking cloud image testing completely. Cloud-init updates have historically been quite conservative because we can't update a cloud image once it has shipped. A few people are working on a system for shipping updated images, but that isn't ready yet.
There are a couple ways we could work on that without breaking F22, though:
1. Build against python3 in rawhide and update F22 if ready before beta.
2. Build against python3 in a COPR and update F22 if ready before beta.
Either way, this should definitely go into rawhide, and a COPR shouldn't be too much work. What do you think?
Would it make sense to switch to Python 3 now and if some serious bugs are introduced, then switch back to Python 2 before Beta? At this point, so many packages have been switched that I'd say switching them back would mean more work for us than helping you fix cloud-init if it breaks. But of course it's your decision and I understand your POV, so we'll help you no matter which way you choose. After updating the package to cloud-init's current mainline code I grabbed the latest F22 cloud base image out of koji, updated cloud-init, updated libselinux-python3 with a fix for bug 1195004, and installed dhcp-client, which was, for whatever reason, missing. At that point I had something I could boot and log into on EC2. Looks like we've got our starting point. 8^) Note: All that, running on Python 3 powered cloud-inid BTW the specfile is here: https://github.com/gholms/cloud-init-rpmspec Ok, so it seems that we'll have to revert after all for F22 [1]. Please only build this for F23 (so this doesn't need to be built today). Thanks. [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1194577#c4 I built this in rawhide for now. Let's stick with stable cloud-init in F22 until libselinux-python3 works well enough to not break things. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle. Changing version to '22'.
