I think it would be good for the project to have an official PyPI distribution, and the signal from users (40K downloads per month) is a clear indication that this is useful. Timely releases would help us get future improvements to cqlsh out faster, and moving this to an official distribution wo

HI Dinesh, You are correct that the scope of this CEP is practical, narrow and limited to having an official distribution of CQLSH on the official Python package repository. Cassandra end-users, who use the CQLSH command line, would benefit in several direct ways: - A timely distribution of ne

Brad, Thanks for starting this discussion. My understanding is that we're simply adding pip support for cqlsh and Apache Cassandra project will officially publish a cqlsh pip package. This is a good goal but other than having an official pip package, what is it that we're gaining? Please don't int

As per the CEP process guidelines, I'm starting a formal DISCUSS thread to resume the conversation started here[1]. The developers who maintain the Python CQLSH client on the official Python PYPI repository would like to integrate and donate their open source work to the Apache Cassandra project s

I agree, we have enough for a release of 3.0 and 3.11 and if there are users expecting it, I don’t see a reason why not to cut releases. Shall we do it together with 5.0 alpha? There was a mention that one might be cut soon, as far as I recall. Just thinking it might be easier to do the releases al

Timing of the last releases of Cassandra 3.0.x / 3.11.x

2023-08-09 Thread Miklosovic, Stefan
Hi, with 5.0 getting closer, when do we plan to release the last releases of 3.0.x and 3.11.x? There is a user on Slack asking for a release of 3.11.16 because of 16555. If we release right now, we might potentially do one more release before 5.0 is GA. Do you think it makes sense to releas
