[Evergreen-dev] OpenSRF 3.3 For Evergreen 3.7?

[Jason Stephenson]

Hello, all.

Four bugs received branches during the Hack-Away that I think warrant
discussion regarding a future OpenSRF release:

Python binding for OpenSRF and Evergreen
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1827055

Removal of OpenSRF and Evergreen Java Libraries
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1827051

Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa) support
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1875544

Remove Installation Support for Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus
https://bugs.launchpad.net/opensrf/+bug/1901899

The above don't seem to me to be the sort of thing that we'd add in a
bug fix point release, i.e. 3.2.2. Even though they mostly remove code
and configuration, I would think that they warrant a new release, 3.3.0.

The bugs listed above have branches for both OpenSRF and Evergreen. I
took the liberty of targeting the Evergreen branches at 3.7-beta. I did
not target the OpenSRF branches since there is presently no 3.3 target.
I think it would be useful to have some discussion before creating one.

Cheers,
Jason
