[Pulp-list] gofer 2.4

[Jeff Ortel]

Pulp Developers,

Today I am merging a PR that ports Pulp 2.6 to use gefer 2.4.  This is a 
major version change from gofer 1.4 which includes minor API changes. 
See release notes: http://gofer.readthedocs.org/en/pulp-2.4/notes.html 
for details.

As a result, developers will need to be sure to have one of the 
following combinations installed:

pulp >= 2.6 : gofer >= 2.4
pulp <  2.6 : gofer < 2.0  (suggest 1.4)

f21 ships with gofer 2.0 and 2.4 is in f21 updates-testing and should 
land in updates (stable) mid week.  If you want to install from 
updates-testing, I'd suggest you enable the updates-testing yum 
repository and restrict the packages to gofer by adding: 
"includepkgs=*gofer*".  Giving the update 
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-0528/gofer-2.4.0-1.fc21 
karma would be helpful.

I will update deps/gofer and build in koji today.

If you PIP install gofer, you just need to use the appropriate branch or 
tag in your git checkout.  Eg: "> git checkout gofer-2.4"

When running jenkins jobs, be sure to select the appropriate gofer 
branch.  For now (github/gofer) master (the default) still points to 
1.4.  I will send another email when 2.4 is merged to (github/gofer) master.

The python-gofer-amqplib package which integrates with python-amqplib is 
no longer included in gofer 2.x. Users using RabbitMQ should use the 
python-gofer-amqp package which integrates with python-amqp which 
supports AMQP 0-9-1 and seems to be better maintained by the Celery 
community.

The python-gofer-qpid package has been ported to use QMF for broker 
object management and now requires: python-qpid-qmf.

Last, this upgrade should be seamless to end users.

I know this temporarily complicates developer environments but gofer 2.4 
is the latest upstream and is included in f21 and beyond.  It includes 
significantly better unit test coverage, refinements, enhancements and 
bug fixes.  It also includes new features that will likely be needed for 
2.6.  Please let me know if you have any issues or if I can help in any 
way with the transition.
