Hello everyone,
Summary: We would like to drop the support for stretch in the (near) future.
Details: Currently lava-server and lava-dispatcher are supported on both debian stretch and debian buster.
Since LAVA 2019.11, the lava-server and lava-dispatcher docker images are based on debian buster and not stretch. Unittest are still running on stretch, buster and bullseye but integration tests (lavafed and meta-lava mainly) are using the docker container so they run only on buster.
Dropping the support for stretch will: * simplify testing * allow to use more recent version of python and django * remove some issues with old dependencies in stretch
But before dropping the support we need to ensure that users/admins had some time to migrate to buster or to docker-based installations.
In an ideal world, I would drop the support for stretch on the 1st of January 2020. But please answer to this mail so we can device of the right date all together.
Thanks
