Release new binary of blubber
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Most recent binary of blubber at https://releases.wikimedia.org/blubber/ is 0.8.0+ba236df (from 2019 according to timestamp). This is a version that does not support python2.7 due to to selecting pip21 which is python3 only. The pip version selection feature is implemented in gerrit, see https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/blubber/+/459234d2acb785a0831e12f653a72df3e3c34272/config/python.go#198

Event Timeline

We stopped building and publishing new binary releases of the blubber CLI a while back after migrating to blubberoid (its microservice counterpart)... and I see now that the docs on Getting Blubber are not helpful in that they're out of date, still suggesting that people use the binaries. Ok, the first thing I need to do here is update that article.

For your use case, would it make sense for you to use blubberoid.wikimedia.org instead? See Blubber as a microservice in that same article.

Declined since we as a team will not be making new blubber releases; however, we're still interested to learn about your use-case @kalle
