[Maas-devel] python-django in the next LTS

[Gavin Panella]

I spoke to Corey Bryant in #server today about python-django in the next
LTS. The summary is:

* Version won't be bumped by Server Team unless OpenStack needs
  something newer.

* OpenStack Team or Robie Basak can probably bump version on request to
  whatever is in Debian, currently 1.8.4.

* I mentioned that MAAS would probably request the most recent version
  packaged in Debian.

Edited transcript of conversation:

<allenap> coreycb: What version of Django you expect to release into the
  LTS? If 1.9 is out by then, will that be likely?

<coreycb> allenap, from an openstack point of view, we likely won't
  update python-django unless openstack requires a new version but if
  there's a need for a new version we (openstack team) or perhaps rbasak
  might be able to do it. it also likely depends on what's in debian,
  which is currently at 1.8.4.

<allenap> coreycb: That's useful information, thanks. MAAS may request
  >=1.8.4 on the basis that we want to be as far forward as possible
  before entering the LTS. We don't (yet) have a particular feature or
  bug fix we need to aim for.
