16:20:25 bauzas #info gibi will chair next week's meeting
16:20:29 sean-k-mooney i could proably do it if he is not around for any reason i just dont want too :)
16:20:36 gibi sure I will do it
16:20:42 bauzas sean-k-mooney: shoot your own topics (even if I can guess one)
16:20:58 sean-k-mooney first one is this stable only patch that we agreed to do a year ago
16:21:00 sean-k-mooney https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/828979
16:21:07 sean-k-mooney im reviewing it now
16:21:10 sean-k-mooney and it looks ok
16:21:20 sean-k-mooney so just wanted to highlight it to others
16:21:38 sean-k-mooney the second quetion is semi procedural
16:21:42 bauzas want it for Bobcat ?
16:21:50 bauzas nvm, stupid me
16:22:01 sean-k-mooney its for victoria
16:22:05 bauzas yeah, hence me stupid
16:22:22 sean-k-mooney so second question is we were discussing on the mailing list about removing the hyperv driver
16:22:29 sean-k-mooney and vmeare next cycle
16:22:36 bauzas yeah and I provided my humble guts
16:22:46 sean-k-mooney we can chat about that in the ptg if needed
16:22:55 sean-k-mooney but i was wondering do we need a spec
16:23:02 bauzas which are, unless extremely necessary, avoid any virt driver deprecation this cycle
16:23:07 sean-k-mooney or just come to agreement and specless blueprint
16:23:08 bauzas s/deprecation/removal
16:23:27 bauzas for removing those from our tree ?
16:23:35 sean-k-mooney we deprecated them in antileop and marked them experimental
16:23:45 sean-k-mooney so in caracal i want to remove them form the nova tree
16:23:47 bauzas yeah I know hence my sedf
16:24:17 gibi I don't think we need a spec to delete things
16:24:21 bauzas yeah, so, procedurally, I'd say "mail ML ops" wins against any other paperwork
16:24:40 bauzas I just want the ops to be aware of the cut
16:24:52 bauzas and yeah, it doesn't require a blueprint
16:24:55 bauzas a relnote, for sure
16:25:17 gmann bauzas: sean-k-mooney I am planning the hyperv removal and other os-win cleanup/retirement in 2024.1 only
16:25:18 bauzas this is just a removal patch
16:25:20 sean-k-mooney ok well we can chat about it more in the ptg i guess and send a mail to that list
16:25:29 bauzas but yeah, communication matters
16:25:38 gmann this is whole stack #link https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:retire-winstackers
16:25:39 sean-k-mooney gmann: yep this is all in the context of 2024.1
16:25:45 gmann yeah
16:25:51 sean-k-mooney i just wanted to know how to track this
16:25:58 gmann and I need to add a spec also as it impact one API too
16:26:17 gmann so all those we can discuss together in PTG
16:26:21 bauzas when we removed nova-net, this wasn't tracked by a blueprint
16:26:25 gmann sean-k-mooney: yeah, will add BP and spec
16:26:37 bauzas and this was having API implications
16:26:50 sean-k-mooney im not sure what api impact this will have
16:27:03 gmann I will propose that, its rdp console I think
16:27:08 bauzas tbc, I don't want us to paperwork any removal
16:27:20 sean-k-mooney ah rdp
16:27:27 bauzas a deprecation for sure, but this was communicated way in advance
16:27:30 sean-k-mooney i think that kind of seperate
16:27:34 gmann spec is worth here so that we do not miss anything
16:27:54 sean-k-mooney it should be sperate commits at least but ok
16:27:55 gmann especially API change point of view
16:27:56 bauzas then, I defer this discussion to the PTG
16:28:01 sean-k-mooney i think we can wrap the meeting there
16:28:05 bauzas we need more contact
16:28:08 bauzas context
16:28:10 bauzas doh
16:28:12 gmann sure, will propose the spec meanhwile and can discuss in PTG
16:28:22 bauzas sean-k-mooney: wanted to discuss the SQLA 1.4 backref thing ?
16:28:35 sean-k-mooney am i kind of forgot
16:28:51 sean-k-mooney so stephen has updated the patchs to address the comment you raised
16:28:51 bauzas to be frank, I already made a round of reviews
16:29:14 bauzas so, yeah, this is best effort, but I have some space for this
16:29:35 bauzas if we can have this quickwin, let's aim it
16:29:45 bauzas but we absolutely need to be on par with the existing
16:30:26 bauzas that's why I'm OK with changing our description of the relationships in B, but not drop anything until C
16:30:36 sean-k-mooney ack. i would be sad if this isnt included as to me it was a cycle priroty but yes. i belive the issue you raised was not actully something we needed to adress
16:30:44 sean-k-mooney but stephen has updated it
16:31:03 sean-k-mooney there are no drops in the serises
16:31:06 bauzas sean-k-mooney: well, instance.block_device_mapping may have returned the deleted BDMs after this patch
16:31:20 sean-k-mooney no
16:31:21 bauzas sean-k-mooney: there are, last patch of 34
16:31:24 bauzas 3*
16:31:43 sean-k-mooney i think stephen was correct that tnat version of the relaation was unused
16:31:52 sean-k-mooney but again that has been fixed in the current version
16:32:11 sean-k-mooney and stephen added a 3rd patch to remove the possible unused relationship mapping
16:32:21 sean-k-mooney in any case lets just review it as normal
16:32:23 bauzas that's what I'm saying
16:32:34 bauzas I don't bet on things we may not use
16:32:55 bauzas particularly by relying on our CI to claim whether this is in use or not
16:33:20 bauzas so, I'm OK with doing this kind of dumb rewriting of the relationships we have
16:33:30 bauzas without touching them or asserting anything
16:33:36 bauzas in B
16:33:55 bauzas while in C, we may debate on the optimizations we may do
