[Pulp-dev] Questions around Pulp 3.0 RC release

[Brian Bouterse]

Here is what makes sense to me. Let's have Pulp claim official support for
any distro that we have CI for (Travis). This ensures every pull request
change and nightlies are tested and provable on all supported distros. I
believe support is about provable testing so without CI we can't ensure it
in an ongoing way otherwise. Additionally though, we should say that Pulp
will likely run anywhere that has the Python 3.6 runtime and has all
necessary dependencies, which likely includes MacOS, Debian, etc. From a
practical perspective Pulp likely will run well on all these distros, so
even though we wouldn't claim formal support, our users probably aren't
limited much in-practice.

The only strange thing with ^ approach is that currently Travis only tests
on Ubuntu so we would not be able to claim additional support until we
started testing other distros in containers on Travis (totally do-able)
[0]. I'm ok w/ that though.

What do you all think?
