| #openstack-nova - 2021-09-28 | |||
| 16:39:38 | bauzas | at least we need to sync up with the oslo team about when to have a cross-project discussion for the policy thing (/cc gmann) | |
| 16:40:06 | bauzas | #topic Stable Branches | |
| 16:40:12 | bauzas | nova's stable/ussuri and stable/train are blocked (due to latest virtualenv uses latest setuptools which removed use_2to3) | |
| 16:40:29 | bauzas | (last but not the least large topic) | |
| 16:40:35 | bauzas | large discussion occurred on the ML #link http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2021-September/024987.html | |
| 16:40:42 | bauzas | looks a consensus is going forward with pinning virtualenv on stable branches # link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/810461 | |
| 16:40:58 | bauzas | tbc, we WON'T pin virtualenv (and setuptools) on master | |
| 16:41:21 | bauzas | but we WILL pin virtualenv (and setuptools accordingly) on the required stable branches | |
| 16:41:32 | bauzas | anyone disagreeing with this plan ? | |
| 16:42:07 | gibi | (as a side note this only pins setuptools if you use tox, if you install the package by other means the this solution doesn't help) | |
| 16:42:08 | bauzas | gibi: you're the mastermind of this plan, you could add things if you wish | |
| 16:42:20 | bauzas | gibi: excellent detail indeed | |
| 16:42:27 | bauzas | the pin is only done on tox.ini | |
| 16:42:34 | gibi | currently we have issue with lower-constraints and tox, so it helps us | |
| 16:42:47 | gibi | but on the ML there was other reports where devstack install failed on stable | |
| 16:42:54 | bauzas | packagers are free to pick any dependency they want, for sure | |
| 16:43:12 | gibi | so in the long run we might need additional fix for devstack too | |
| 16:43:45 | bauzas | gibi: you mean, we should pin virtualenv in stable devstack releases ? | |
| 16:44:04 | bauzas | (which makes sense) | |
| 16:44:07 | gibi | bauzas: potentially yes. I haven't see such failure myself yet | |
| 16:44:15 | gibi | so I'm not rushing with it | |
| 16:44:18 | bauzas | interesting | |
| 16:44:25 | bauzas | any distro impacted so far ? | |
| 16:44:31 | bauzas | (for devstack) | |
| 16:44:46 | gibi | I have no details | |
| 16:44:50 | bauzas | awesome | |
| 16:44:52 | elodilles | as I understood devstack is not hit with this issue in general (but I might be wrong) | |
| 16:44:56 | bauzas | and I guess no bug report | |
| 16:45:10 | bauzas | elodilles: what I guess is that it depends on the related OS | |
| 16:45:27 | elodilles | bauzas: that sounds possible | |
| 16:45:58 | bauzas | then, the one who claims there is a bug should explain which env they use | |
| 16:46:07 | bauzas | so we could reproduce it | |
| 16:46:31 | bauzas | for the moment, let's not try to boil the ocean | |
| 16:46:42 | gibi | bauzas: as I said I saw reports on ML but I did not see it in nova yet, so probably the devstack part is not a nova issue right now | |
| 16:47:04 | bauzas | gibi: ok, so let's move on with the tox change | |
| 16:47:12 | gibi | ack | |
| 16:47:25 | bauzas | but again, we'll probably hit the other gate issues | |
| 16:47:27 | bauzas | anyway | |
| 16:47:40 | bauzas | this release sounds so fun | |
| 16:47:54 | bauzas | moving on | |
| 16:47:57 | bauzas | #topic Stable Branches | |
| 16:48:04 | bauzas | whoops | |
| 16:48:10 | bauzas | placement branches are also impacted | |
| 16:48:14 | bauzas | we waited with the wallaby release until xena RC2 gets released, now we could release from victoria and ussuri together with wallaby as well | |
| 16:48:46 | elodilles | i can prepare the release patches for victoria and ussuri if needed | |
| 16:49:04 | bauzas | elodilles: I guess we'll need some kind of smart stitching between all the concurrent patches so we can unblock things one after all | |
| 16:49:46 | bauzas | elodilles: sure, let's discuss this tomorrow | |
| 16:50:05 | elodilles | bauzas: ack | |
| 16:50:11 | bauzas | other points on stable to discuss ? | |
| 16:50:21 | elodilles | bauzas: actually, i'll be on pto tomorrow, but be back on thursday | |
| 16:50:42 | elodilles | but anyway, nothing else from me :X | |
| 16:50:45 | bauzas | elodilles: ok, then ping me on thursday so we can arrange a quick wrap-up about what to release and what's missing | |
| 16:50:54 | bauzas | #topic Sub/related team Highlights | |
| 16:50:58 | elodilles | bauzas: ++ | |
| 16:50:59 | bauzas | Libvirt (bauzas) | |
| 16:51:06 | bauzas | nothing to tell honestly | |
| 16:52:22 | bauzas | btw. I will change the libvirt chairing to lyarwood for next week | |
| 16:52:30 | bauzas | apologies, i forgot to modify it | |
| 16:52:42 | bauzas | lyarwood: anything worth mentioning about libvirt ? | |
| 16:53:00 | lyarwood | not yet :) | |
| 16:53:08 | bauzas | hold your patchrds | |
| 16:53:10 | bauzas | patches* | |

| 16:53:28 | bauzas | (bauzas)Â : Call for Outreachy mentoring extended until Sep 29 #link http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2021-September/024992.html | |
| 16:53:46 | bauzas | we have an opportunity for mentoring here | |
| 16:54:20 | bauzas | we haven't brainstormed about the potential projects we could propose to outreachy students | |
| 16:54:29 | bauzas | but I'm sure we have room for them | |
| 16:54:39 | bauzas | if anyone has any idea, shoot | |
| 16:54:50 | bauzas | I can propose to mentor | |
| 16:54:54 | gibi | Dear student please fix the CI before GA, thanks. :P | |
| 16:55:00 | gmann | :) | |
| 16:55:34 | bauzas | lol | |
| 16:55:57 | bauzas | I've noticed a bit late tho | |
| 16:56:01 | bauzas | anyway | |
| 16:56:02 | gibi | do we have ongoing work where easy to join? | |
| 16:56:39 | gibi | mypy maybe ;) | |
| 16:57:01 | bauzas | gibi: I was about to say functional testing but yeah | |
| 16:57:15 | ganso | hi! sorry I wanted to ask this before the meeting ended. 2 weeks ago it was mentioned in this meeting that there would be a new tag release soon for all stable branches. Is there any more specific estimate on when the new tag release will happen? | |
| 16:57:16 | gibi | bauzas: do we still have osc novaclient gaps? | |
| 16:57:31 | gibi | bauzas: that would be also a good proposal | |
| 16:57:31 | bauzas | gibi: I guess so | |
| 16:57:52 | gibi | bauzas: or simply filling the osc gaps for placement, we have missed a list of microversions there | |
| 16:58:12 | bauzas | interesting idea | |
| 16:58:46 | bauzas | one alterative I had in mind was to see how to use some mdev testing framework for validating our GPUs in our CI | |
| 16:59:06 | bauzas | but anyway, ganso has a question and we're 1 min | |
| 16:59:30 | bauzas | ganso: we just discussed we're considering to tag stable releases end of this week if we can | |
| 16:59:48 | ganso | great! | |
| 16:59:49 | ganso | thanks! | |
| 17:00:06 | bauzas | *if we can* as we have some blockers that need help | |
| 17:00:16 | bauzas | but we're overtime | |
| 17:00:23 | bauzas | thanks all | |
