It is not trivial to remove a package once it has been provided. If we
decide to include python-jws we will have to maintain it at least for
the lifetime the releases (3.12 and also 3.13?), until thet become
End-Of-Life.
Users may get (our) python-jws installed as a dependency, and from then
on it is our responsibility to keep it in an acceptible shape. Removing
the package may not be possible if other (non-Gluster) components depend
on it as well (maybe they got the package from EPEL or elsewhere).
The builds without the dependency and reverted feature backport are
being made available for testing. The CentOS Storage SIG packages will
see glusterfs-3.12.3 without JWT signing support for eventsapi.
I am sorry if oVirt expects bug 1501864 to be resolved with 3.12.3.
Unfortunately the bug does not mention this, or has anything in the
'blocks' field. Without such a description it is not clear what the
urgency of a particular change is. It probably would also have helped to
understand why a feature gets backported to a stable branch.
For now we can at least get 3.12.3 available for CentOS users. Please
open a new bug against 3.12 that can be used for backporting a solution
without python-jws dependency (if that is your plan). This new bug
should be a blocker for 3.12.4 and possibly the oVirt dependency. If
really needed, we can do a 3.12.3 update in the Storage SIG that
includes the new solution.
Thanks,
Niels
