[tauruslib-devel] TEP3 - Voting for CANDIDATE-->ACCEPTED

[Carlos P. <cpa...@ce...>]

Hi all,

The implementation of TEP3 [1] (which, among other things, makes 
taurus.core independent of Tango) has finally reached the point in which 
we can consider it complete.

Therefore we ask the community to evaluate it **and for each institute 
to vote whether TEP3 should be passed to ACCEPTED**.

Also, Tiago kindly offered to do the integration work in case it is 
accepted.

In order to test, you just need to check out the tep3 branch from the 
official taurus git repo [2].

Please note that if/when TEP3 is integrated into develop, the taurus 
major version number should be changed to 4.0.0 to reflect the fact that 
some TEP3 changes in the model name syntax  are not 100% backwards-
compatible[3].

We hope you find TEP3 as interesting as we do.

Cheers, 

Carlos (Falcon) & Carlos (Pascual)

ps: Naturally, ALBA's vote is "yes" for acceptance.

[3] Do not worry: pre-tep3 model naming is supported via a backwards-
compatibility layer which handles all but a tiny fraction of pre-tep3 
names. The ones not supported are those which would be ambiguous, but 
they can be manually adapted very easily.
