OpenStack Developer Mailing List Digest December 10- 16
Updates
Release schedule clarification after Ocata [5]
Nova placement/resource providers [6][12]
Stuart McLaren stepping down from glance core [8]
Allowing Teams Based on Vendor-specific Drivers (cont) [1]
Narrowed down options at last TC meeting to following [2]:
Soft black (option 2): default option, had no negative feedback, represents the current status quo
Soft white (option 4): had some positive feedback, folks liked it’s simple solution
Grey (option 5): had the most positive feedback, but also the least amount of detail
Other options’ patches are being abandoned
Leaning towards an amended version of the ‘Grey’ proposal [10]
Community Goals for Pike (cont.) [3]
Need feedback [4]
Keep using openstack/governance for documenting goals
Make sure to include guides
Consider prioritization as it may not be possible to complete all the goals in the release
Think about splitting larger goals to things that can be accomplished in a single release
Involving users/operators through the Product WG and start face to face discussions on the Forums
Python changes in OpenStack CI [7]
Python3.4 on a Trusty VM for older branches: stable/liberty and stable/mitaka
Python3.5 on a Xenial VM for newer branches: stable/newton and master
Python3.4 testing is disabled for these
ACTION:
Projects should enable voting for Python3.5 jobs or add them if they don’t exist yet
Projects should remove Python3.4 jobs if they run only on master
Golang Technical Requirements [15]
Activities to adopt Go into OpenStack are ongoing
Areas need more discussion
Common Libraries
Dependency Management
Candidates are govendor, glide and godep
Release Deliverables
Tags and/or build artifacts?
AUTHORS and ChangeLog files can be autogenerated
Oaktree has golang bindings and contains generated files
Upgrade readiness check in Nova [11]
New, separate service
Checks the system state and indicates how much it is ready to start the Ocata upgrade (success, warning, error)
Self-service branch management [13]
Through openstack/releases repo
Specify your needs in a patch [14] and the rest is automated after it’s merged
New stable branch creation is best to happen close to the end of the cycle, when the bug fixing and stabilization activities are slowing down
Architectural discussion about nova-compute interactions [16]
How do Nova, Neutron and Cinder interact with nova-compute
Should nova-compute become a standalone shared service? [9]
