16:03:43 bauzas great numbers
16:05:10 bauzas artom: thanks for that
16:05:18 gibi oh wao
16:05:23 gibi kudos artom
16:06:02 bauzas next in the roster is Uggla but he's on PTO till next week
16:06:30 bauzas and next in the queue is sean (I'll avoid to highlight him, he needs rest :) )
16:06:44 bauzas so, I can try to triage a few bugs this week
16:07:03 bauzas I mean, this isn't like I'm already doing a shit ton of bugs checks
16:07:38 bauzas #info Add yourself in the team bug roster if you want to help https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-bug-triage-roster
16:07:51 bauzas #info bug baton is being passed to bauzas this week
16:07:52 gibi bauzas: thansk
16:08:07 bauzas #topic Gate status
16:08:11 bauzas #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bugs?field.tag=gate-failure Nova gate bugs
16:08:15 bauzas #link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-ci-failures
16:08:26 bauzas that was (and that still is) an hectic week
16:08:43 bauzas tl;dr: our gate was blocked but we eventually merged the fix
16:09:19 bauzas but now we continue to have a ton of CI false positives with vif plugged events missed and other funs
16:09:40 bauzas I must to admit I beg people to share my pain
16:10:17 gibi I do share your pain
16:10:21 opendevreview Kashyap Chamarthy proposed openstack/nova stable/train: libvirt: At start-up rework compareCPU() usage with a workaround https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/873722
16:10:21 gibi for some degree
16:10:25 bauzas anything now to raise except complaining that you do lots of rechecks ?
16:10:37 gibi one thing
16:11:11 gibi please be aware that upper constraints bumps cannot be merged at the moment due to failures
16:11:16 bauzas oh that
16:11:20 bauzas forgot to mention
16:11:21 gibi so even though we released os-traits 2.10
16:11:26 gibi we cannot use that yet in placement and nova
16:11:47 bauzas yeah, tbc, that's not only the nova master gate which is broken broken (c) elodilles
16:12:07 bauzas the requirements project do has its own pain, and tempest too
16:12:09 gibi yeah as far as I see every u-c bump is blocked
16:12:15 bauzas correct
16:12:29 bauzas we discussed that in #openstack-requirements earlier today
16:12:35 bauzas there is a fix in the air
16:12:37 bauzas but,
16:12:42 elodilles it seems virtualenv release came just in time
16:12:43 bauzas there is another open issue
16:13:02 bauzas elodilles: yeah, that's lovely, a perfect Murphy timing
16:13:36 elodilles bauzas: could have been worse -> more closer to release date :)
16:13:47 bauzas not sure it changes anything tho
16:14:03 bauzas but let's jump to the next topic
16:14:11 bauzas fwiw, looking at https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/recheck-weekly-summary
16:14:32 bauzas I can still see around 18% of rechecks that are bare rechecks
16:14:39 bauzas this is desesperating
16:14:56 bauzas I mean, we know we have CI failures
16:15:15 bauzas but if you just call 'recheck' without further info, you basically piss off your problems
16:15:46 bauzas and you make looking that you don't care about the CI, then why should we care about your own patches then ?
16:15:55 gibi nova is on 13.5% that is an improvement from the last 90 days (18.5%)
16:16:22 bauzas I'd like to be optimistic
16:16:30 bauzas I know that debugging a CI failure is tricky
16:16:56 bauzas but if you don't make the effort to try looking, then basically that means you don't care
16:17:25 bauzas #link https://zuul.openstack.org/builds?project=openstack%2Fnova&project=openstack%2Fplacement&pipeline=periodic-weekly Nova&Placement periodic jobs status
16:17:29 bauzas all greens
16:17:36 bauzas #info Please look at the gate failures and file a bug report with the gate-failure tag.
16:17:42 bauzas (that's a wish)
16:17:49 bauzas #info STOP DOING BLIND RECHECKS aka. 'recheck' https://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/testing.html#how-to-handle-test-failures
16:17:54 bauzas (that's a formal ask)
16:18:15 bauzas next topic for the fun ?
16:18:23 gibi one thing about CI
16:18:27 bauzas sure
16:19:00 gibi maybe we should make an dedicated effort next cycle to fix up CI first before we jump on adding new features
16:19:19 gibi maybe, asking people with feature proposals to take a gate bug first
16:19:20 bauzas gibi: that's litterally already in the PTG agenda :)
16:19:25 gibi bauzas++
16:19:42 bauzas well, I was less harsh
16:19:56 bauzas but I opened a bullet point about CI failures and I had some ideas
16:20:09 bauzas I wrote some email yesterday
16:20:26 bauzas if people want recognition, I offer them a Great Way to Be Recognized
16:20:35 gibi cool
16:21:24 bauzas moving on then (fwiw, I like your idea to somehow ask people to show some dedication to upstream while they propose)
16:21:31 kashyap gibi: Fixed the thing in the above train backport too: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/873722
16:21:35 bauzas this is actually a great jump to the next topic
16:21:36 kashyap (Err, sorry; there's a meeting going on)
16:21:40 bauzas kashyap: in a meeting
16:21:47 kashyap Yep, yep; saw that
16:21:55 bauzas moving on
16:22:00 bauzas #topic Release Planning
16:22:07 bauzas #link https://releases.openstack.org/antelope/schedule.html
16:22:10 bauzas #info Antelope-3 is in 2 days
16:22:26 bauzas #info FeatureFreeze is in 2 days
16:22:36 bauzas #link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-antelope-blueprint-status Blueprint status for 2023.1
16:22:44 bauzas here, I'm also a bit grumpy
16:23:03 bauzas we approved a couple of blueprints but despite this, a very few of them are actually reviewable
16:23:34 bauzas the os-bricks issue prevents one to correctly get reviewed, but alas, the series is even not fully complete
16:23:58 bauzas os-traits, not os-brick my bad
16:24:17 bauzas so, yeah, back to gibi's proposal, I think we may be harsher next cycle
16:24:32 gibi don't forget this was a shorter cycle
16:24:35 bauzas and ask people to show some evidence of work
16:24:42 bauzas gibi: that's a valid point
