Oracle's extended support for 11.2 ends Dec 2020. We don't currently have testing on the CI servers for 11.2, and I think the Developer Days VM for 11.2 is no longer available from Oracle (I have a local copy that I've used for testing). Making the GIS tests work on Oracle 11.2 and Oracle 12 is causing some non-trivial work, so I wanted to ask if it's worthwhile.
Perhaps dropping 11.2 support after Django 1.11 would be okay. Django 1.11 will be supported until April 2020 which almost reaches Oracle's Dec 2020 date. https://github.com/django/django/pull/7704 - Removed unneeded Oracle workaround in GISFunctionsTests.test_num_points (doesn't work on 11.2) https://github.com/django/django/pull/7672 - Some back and forth was needed here to find an SRID that works on Oracle 11.2 and 12 https://github.com/django/django/pull/7695#discussion_r92675976 - Two existing GIS test failures with Oracle 11.2 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
