[Starlingx-discuss] Ceph & CentOS-8 / Python3 work

[Sun, Austin]

Hi Saul:
    Some more details info:
1) StarlingX currently is using Ceph Mimic Release (13.2.2), which was not active release from Ceph community [1].
2) CentOS community only officially  provides Ceph Nautilus (14.xx) and Octopus (15.xx) RPMs for centos8 [2]. 

Based on these information , either find 3rd party provides ceph M release rpms for centos8 , or build from src/srpm is needed for centos 8 


[1] https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/releases/ 
[2] http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8/extras/x86_64/os/Packages/ 

Thanks.
BR
Austin Sun.

Austin, Haochuan, Fuyong:

You guys mentioned there was an issue with Ceph, possibly the CephClient with moving from Python2 to Python3.  Can you provide more details about what the issues where with CentOS-8 and/or python3?

Thanks
    Sau!
