[Ronald Klop]

Hi,

Looking for some feedback on this. Or should I just go ahead and create PRs?

Ronald.

Onderwerp: unifi5, mongodb and python2
> 
> Hi,
> 
> Currently unifi5 uses mongodb36. Mongodb36 and mongodb40 are marked as deprecated because they use python2 in the build stage. Both will expire/be removed on 2020-12-31 unless somebody (or upstream) fixes this.
> 
> Mongodb42 uses python3 and will stay, but we don't know if it is compatible yet.
> 
> Upgrade of mongodb is only supported in these steps according to the documentation: 3.6 -> 4.0 -> 4.2.
> 
> So to help the users of Unifi5 on the quarterly branches the following scheme would be possible.
> 
> * Switch unifi5 to mongodb40 before the next branch 2020Q3 (around 1th of July).
> * Then before 2020Q4 (1th of October) switch to mongodb42.
> 
> This gives the people running on quarterly branches an easy upgrade path.
> Of course it should be tested if unifi5 runs on mongodb40 and -42 first. I can do that in my home setup the coming week. Maybe more testers are welcome, because my setup is pretty simple.
