| # This file declares various requirements for this version of repo. The |
| # launcher script will load it and check the constraints before trying to run |
| # us. This avoids issues of the launcher using an old version of Python (e.g. |
| # 3.5) while the codebase has moved on to requiring something much newer (e.g. |
| # 3.8). If the launcher tried to import us, it would fail with syntax errors. |
| |
| # This is a JSON file with line-level comments allowed. |
| |
| # Always keep backwards compatibility in mine. The launcher script is robust |
| # against missing values, but when a field is renamed/removed, it means older |
| # versions of the launcher script won't be able to enforce the constraint. |
| |
| # When requiring versions, always use lists as they are easy to parse & compare |
| # in Python. Strings would require futher processing to turn into a list. |
| |
| # Version constraints should be expressed in pairs: soft & hard. Soft versions |
| # are when we start warning users that their software too old and we're planning |
| # on dropping support for it, so they need to start planning system upgrades. |
| # Hard versions are when we refuse to work the tool. Users will be shown an |
| # error message before we abort entirely. |
| |
| # When deciding whether to upgrade a version requirement, check out the distro |
| # lists to see who will be impacted: |
| # https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo/+/HEAD/docs/release-process.md#Project-References |

| # The repo launcher itself. This allows us to force people to upgrade as some |
| # ignore the warnings about it being out of date, or install ancient versions |
| # to start with for whatever reason. |

| # NB: Repo launchers started checking this file with repo-2.12, so listing |
| # versions older than that won't make a difference. |
