Description Asaf Rachmani 2022-03-22 08:01:56 UTC

ansible-core-2.12 requires all libraries used in Ansible modules/roles/playbooks to be built with Python 3.8, so we need to build and distribute python38-dateutil in RHV channels, because it's a dependency for ovirt-hosted-engine-setup, where we use ansible callbacks executed within ansible-core-2.12

Comment 1 Yedidyah Bar David 2022-03-28 10:00:40 UTC

AFAIU the only user of dateutil was ovirt-hosted-engine-setup. With [1], it does not use it anymore. Closing.

Comment 2 Yedidyah Bar David 2022-03-28 11:53:21 UTC

Mind you, this isn't purely a CodeChange. It does have the slight (IMO) disadvantage that the timezone offset is calculated only once, at ansible-playbook run start. So if you start it slightly before an offset change (e.g. from daylight saving time to standard time or vice verse), the log file will be wrong since the offset change onwards - will show the same offset instead of the updated one. But I think it's worth it.

Comment 3 Yedidyah Bar David 2022-03-28 11:58:50 UTC

("it", in "start it", isn't the full deployment, but a specific playbook. 'hosted-engine --deploy' has its own log file, which should be correct (it requires and uses python36-dateutil), and runs several invocations of ansible-playbook).
