#openstack-nova - 2026-09-29
08:56:27 bauzas probably s/known_issues/issues but I'm doublechecking the right section name
08:57:04 bauzas I don't see where we configured the sections like reno mentions in https://docs.openstack.org/reno/latest/user/usage.html#configuring-reno
08:59:10 gibi the template does not offer known_issues section at all
08:59:48 gibi ❯ grep issue releasenotes/notes/foo-4968025a44dda86d.yaml
08:59:48 gibi ❯ vim releasenotes/notes/foo-4968025a44dda86d.yaml
08:59:48 gibi Created new notes file in releasenotes/notes/foo-4968025a44dda86d.yaml
08:59:48 gibi no configuration file in: ./releasenotes/config.yaml, ./reno.yaml
08:59:48 gibi ❯ reno new foo
08:59:50 gibi issues: List known issues here, or remove this section. All of the list items in
09:00:45 gibi we have no specific reno config in the repo as far as I see
09:00:47 bauzas yeah this is why I documented https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/contributor/releasenotes.html years before
09:01:07 bauzas lemme write a patch using issues and we'll see
09:01:19 gibi we have releasenotes/source/conf.py but not config.yaml
09:01:49 gibi bauzas: OK
09:02:37 bauzas I'll run the tox target on my laptop to check the doc
09:10:00 bauzas mmm, I don't see the section even after changing the section name :(
09:10:10 bauzas lemme push the patch and we'll see
09:10:45 opendevreview Sylvain Bauza proposed openstack/nova master: Fix graceful shutdown release note section https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/1007837
09:12:11 gibi thanks
09:13:25 opendevreview Sylvain Bauza proposed openstack/nova master: Fix graceful shutdown release note section https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/1007837
09:16:25 bauzas hmmmm
09:16:37 bauzas really weird, still doesn't show up
09:16:50 bauzas but I'm pretty sure that issues is the default name
09:16:57 elodilles i don't know the reason either :/
09:18:13 elodilles the docs page refreshes like hourly, but i guess this is not the reason here
09:18:34 bauzas I'm not seeing it even on my laptop as generated page
09:19:09 bauzas maybe because the original commit was using a wrong section name ?
09:21:44 gibi yeah worth trying a new note file
09:21:51 gibi to see if that works or not
09:22:06 bauzas this is exactly what I'm testing :)
09:22:54 bauzas bingo
09:22:57 opendevreview Sylvain Bauza proposed openstack/nova master: DNM: Test issues https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/1007839
09:23:42 bauzas we're stuck
09:24:05 bauzas basically because of the original section name, the relnote is not appearing
09:24:13 bauzas and I +2d that patch, f...
09:24:38 bauzas NEVER TRUST MY FYCKING BRAIN
09:30:48 bauzas hmmm, https://docs.openstack.org/reno/latest/releasenotes/index.html#relnotes-3-4-0 reno shouldn't have accepted the original YAML then
09:34:04 bauzas https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/build/5648bd0f571e4304a63d2f39e1371283 used reno-4.1.0 so we should have failed it
09:37:40 bauzas OK, I think I understand the problem
09:38:31 bauzas we shipped the original file pre-rc1, which means we have the same commit on both master and 2026.2 branches but we're trying to update its master only
09:39:31 bauzas I honestly don't know how to fix that
09:40:59 bauzas stephenfin: tkajinam: you're unfortunately the last contributors of reno, so I probably need your help here :)
09:42:12 bauzas context : we had an original reno commit using a wrong section name that was merged before RC1, and now we want to fix it, but this isn't possible as the original commit is now branched (ie. https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/1007837/2 doesn't show up in the relnotes)
09:42:46 bauzas I guess we will need to backport that patch to 2026.2 which will automatically heal once we merge the two patches in tree, right?
09:43:04 bauzas I can try on my local git repo
09:49:49 bauzas gibi: Uggla: elodilles: OK, I get it, we need to merge some backport of https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/1007837 in 2026.2 before we tag 34.0.0
09:50:28 bauzas I remembered reno using git tags
09:51:31 opendevreview Sylvain Bauza proposed openstack/nova stable/2026.2: Fix graceful shutdown release note section https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/1007840
09:59:50 opendevreview Balazs Gibizer proposed openstack/nova master: Func test for cross cell resize with PCI source failure https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/1007841
10:32:12 opendevreview Kamil Sambor proposed openstack/nova master: Replace StaticallyDelayingWrapper with futurist DelayingExecutor https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/997410
11:25:58 stephenfin bauzas: iirc you shouldn't need to backport https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/1007837. reno will use the initial commit to determine what version to map to, but it should take the contents from the latest version of the file
11:34:28 bauzas stephenfin: but how to fix the issue ?
11:34:46 bauzas stephenfin: as you see the CI job doesn't create a right release note
11:58:36 stephenfin Sorry, lunch. I'd have expected https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/1007837 to fix it without the need for the backport but the CI result for that is pretty clear that it doesn't do so. I'm not sure why reno isn't picking that up 😕
11:59:13 bauzas I'm pretty sure this is due to the original patch
11:59:27 bauzas it was tagged as a rc1
12:00:05 bauzas I mean, a 2026.2 RC1 tag, so it will use the original section
12:00:16 bauzas so I guess we need to merge the backport before GA
12:01:57 bauzas stephenfin: gibi: Uggla: actually this works, yoohoo https://storage.bhs.cloud.ovh.net/v1/AUTH_dcaab5e32b234d56b626f72581e3644c/zuul_opendev_logs_d1d/openstack/d1dbcca71faf4c35a7d480cf66c2df82/docs/2026.2.html
12:02:12 bauzas I mean https://storage.bhs.cloud.ovh.net/v1/AUTH_dcaab5e32b234d56b626f72581e3644c/zuul_opendev_logs_d1d/openstack/d1dbcca71faf4c35a7d480cf66c2df82/docs/2026.2.html#known-issues
12:03:16 bauzas can you please +2/+W both of the patches ?
12:03:26 bauzas before GA
12:03:52 bauzas elodilles: are you OK with that ?
12:04:44 stephenfin I assume that CI result is from the backporT?
12:05:08 stephenfin btw, this isn't the only issue in our release notes. Run `.tox/releasenotes/bin/reno lint` locally...
12:06:49 bauzas stephenfin: sorry, indeed from https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/build/d1dbcca71faf4c35a7d480cf66c2df82
12:07:17 bauzas stephenfin: yeah I saw most of issues this morning b/c I ran reno lint
12:07:27 elodilles bauzas: with merging the reno fix to 2026.2 branch?
12:07:35 bauzas elodilles: yeah
12:07:44 elodilles yes, let's give it a try
12:08:09 stephenfin bauzas: I'm not sure reno can fix that because it would break everyone with currently broken releasenotes. Maybe with a new major version though?
12:08:17 bauzas elodilles: will we have a git tag for GA ?
12:08:53 bauzas stephenfin: sorry, about which issues ?
12:09:03 elodilles tomorrow, when we release, it will tag rc1 as final release, yes
12:09:12 stephenfin okay, got to the bottom of it. The backport is needed because the sphinx extension is only reading the specific branch
12:09:24 bauzas exactly
12:10:13 bauzas elodilles: stephenfin: actually, given reno will use rc1 as GA, I guess we don't need to merge the backport before GA, we can first merge the master change and then the stable one when we want
12:10:19 elodilles bauzas: though note, that it will tag rc1 as 34.0.0
12:10:29 elodilles so not the tip of stable/2026.2
12:10:53 bauzas elodilles: I guess we'll see the relnote in 34.0.0 even if we merge the backport after
12:10:53 stephenfin bauzas: there's zero risk to backporting this. I'd just merge it
12:11:08 bauzas as the original commit was merged before rc1
12:11:08 stephenfin and yes, once the commit is on the branch it will appear. It doesn't need to be tagged
12:11:41 stephenfin arguably you don't even need the master commit. A stable-only one would likely do the job
12:11:42 bauzas but we definitely need to fix both the master and the stable/2026.2 changes
12:12:01 bauzas stephenfin: well, I'd prefer to fix both branches
12:12:20 bauzas if people look at existing relnotes, they would find some wrong section name
12:12:33 stephenfin I agree. I'm just noting it's not explicitly needed
12:12:43 bauzas yeah yeah I was knowing
12:12:46 elodilles bauzas: maybe we wait ~ an hour after the fix has landed on master branch, and we'll see
12:13:01 bauzas elodilles: cool
12:13:20 bauzas anyway, let's merge master first and we'll merge stable after
12:13:23 elodilles but anyway, I'm ok with merging the reno fix to stable/2026.2
12:13:42 bauzas thanks stephenfin for +w'ing it btw.
12:14:09 stephenfin nw
12:14:16 bauzas elodilles: cool thanks, this will like any other backport
12:14:40 elodilles i've +2d it now
12:15:24 bauzas thanks
12:26:09 gibi OK I see both reno patch has the necessary votes
12:26:17 gibi thanks folks for handling that
