14:23:35 melwitt backport potential?
14:23:39 fried_rice melwitt: Closes-Bug: #XXXX which is required for backporting "normally".
14:23:45 fried_rice in the commit message
14:24:07 fried_rice (well, I guess the existence of the bug is the important thing)
14:24:57 melwitt oh, yeah ok, you're asking if we need a bug for something we want to backport. yes, usually. I can't remember if we ever do it without a bug
14:31:28 fried_rice lyaaaaaarwood: Do you happen to know this answer? ^ I.e. if there's a "grace period" for RCs where we don't use bugs to backport?
14:32:00 SteelyDan definitely needs bugs
14:32:27 SteelyDan unless it's something super procedural or something, but not sure what that would be
14:33:01 SteelyDan things going into rc2 should be very prescribed anyway
14:33:36 melwitt I think he means something not going into rc2, right fried_rice?
14:33:51 fried_rice yes, that's what I mean
14:33:55 SteelyDan he says "to backport" so..
14:34:13 fried_rice I just didn't know if, because we haven't "released" it yet, it doesn't technically count as a "backport", even though it's a cherry-pick to a non-master branch.
14:34:33 SteelyDan that would be something going *into* rc2
14:34:44 fried_rice right, that's what I'm asking.
14:34:52 fried_rice Mechanically, that still entails a cherry-pick to stable/rocky, right?
14:35:06 lyaaaaaarwood fried_rice: no idea sorry, the stable branches are core managed until GA
14:35:06 SteelyDan fried_rice: something going into rc2 right now requires a lot of scrutiny, a bug, and some agreement
14:35:30 fried_rice SteelyDan: Okay, that's what I was looking for, thanks.
14:37:20 melwitt lyaaaaaarwood: we had rc1 yesterday and we're going to have an rc2 to fix some things.
14:37:38 fried_rice melwitt: wherezat etherpad again?
14:37:59 melwitt the RC todos? https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/nova-rocky-release-candidate-todo
14:38:16 fried_rice thx
14:39:05 lyaaaaaarwood melwitt: and rc2 is tagged from the stable/rocky branch right?
14:39:34 melwitt lyaaaaaarwood: it must be ... this is new to me so I'm not sure. smcginnis can you enlighten me? ^
14:39:40 SteelyDan yeah has to be :)
14:40:09 melwitt ok. so stable stays frozen for some time until the final release deadline I'm guessing
14:40:17 lyaaaaaarwood melwitt: yeah, so my point before was just that as a stable core I don't get +2/+W on stable/rocky until after GA
14:40:20 openstackgerrit Merged openstack/nova stable/pike: Make ResourceTracker.stats node-specific https://review.openstack.org/588037
14:40:26 melwitt *stable/rocky
14:40:30 SteelyDan yes
14:40:39 melwitt lyaaaaaarwood: ok, got it
14:40:51 melwitt okay, I think I understand now, thank you
14:45:27 fried_rice um, if you don't get to +A stable/rocky, who does? (It ain't me - I still only have +1 powers there)
14:45:40 fried_rice or you just mean you're not supposed to?
14:46:20 lyaaaaaarwood yeah for past releases I didn't get it until after GA
14:46:23 lyaaaaaarwood but I have it now
14:46:38 SteelyDan I do too, so it must be on stable maint already
14:46:45 lyaaaaaarwood I guess someone just copied the stable ACLs across
14:46:51 SteelyDan fried_rice: why are you asking? anything you want to go to rc2 needs to be discussed heavily
14:47:24 sean-k-mooney fried_rice: +A on stable branch is the stable maintenance team so https://review.openstack.org/#/admin/groups/540,members
14:47:28 fried_rice SteelyDan: So that I know whether open bugs and tag the patches, which I clearly do, which I'm gonna do now.
14:47:44 fried_rice SteelyDan: Also adding them to the etherpad.
14:47:51 fried_rice Learning process, here.
14:48:09 fried_rice (As in, I'm learning what the process is)
14:49:13 SteelyDan fried_rice: anything you want to *propose* for rc should get rocky-rc-potential tag in launchpad
14:49:20 SteelyDan and then discuss here
14:49:37 fried_rice SteelyDan: Roger, thanks.
14:50:22 sean-k-mooney SteelyDan: at this point that would have to sepcificaly be a bug too and not have documentation impact?
14:50:52 sean-k-mooney i was never clear on how RC fixes and string freeze mixed
14:51:20 SteelyDan scrutiny goes up as the rc counter does
14:51:30 SteelyDan rc1 fixes are regressions and serious things
14:51:39 SteelyDan rc2 fixes are really only super serious things
14:51:44 SteelyDan rc3 things have to involve the queen
14:52:35 SteelyDan the only thing I've heard about for rc2 so far is this thing that makes live migration effectively broken for people on LB
14:52:39 SteelyDan which is, you know, pretty damn serious
14:53:44 sean-k-mooney SteelyDan: about that. the reason that was broken was basically the same reason we broke livimigraton with odl right
14:53:55 sean-k-mooney we cant rely on teh plug event form neutron
14:54:16 SteelyDan sean-k-mooney: I don't know about the latter, but matt did say ODL doesn't send plug events for live migration, so.. probably?
14:54:38 fried_rice SteelyDan: But as soon as the release happens, we get a lot less serious about what we allow to be backported?
14:54:44 sean-k-mooney have we deleted nova net this release because if we havent then you would never have that event either
14:55:00 SteelyDan fried_rice: as soon as the release happens then rocky becomes like any other stable
14:55:21 SteelyDan we have not deleted nova net
14:55:27 SteelyDan but we don't wait for events if we're using nova net
14:55:30 SteelyDan obviously
14:56:14 sean-k-mooney SteelyDan: did the code in sahids patch pecificaly check for that
14:56:50 SteelyDan all of the neutron event waiter code does
14:57:09 SteelyDan he copied it from boot, so should be in there
14:57:31 fried_rice is Matt already pto at this point?
14:57:32 sean-k-mooney ok i was just wondering if that patch would have broken nova-net migration also
14:57:36 SteelyDan if utils.is_neutron() and deadline:
14:57:46 sean-k-mooney which would be another reason to revert if it had
14:57:47 SteelyDan sean-k-mooney: ^
14:57:57 sean-k-mooney ah ok cool
14:58:52 melwitt fried_rice: matt's not on PTO, traveling to china for work
14:59:15 fried_rice melwitt: Oh, is he still going to be working on code?
14:59:16 melwitt but I do think he's gone already and won't be around during US hours next week
15:00:08 fried_rice melwitt: Currently just wondering whether I (or someone) should take over his patch that's on the rc2 candidate list
15:00:14 melwitt not sure, depends on his schedule while he's over there, I imagine
15:00:20 sean-k-mooney fried_rice: i think he said he would try to be back online again later
15:01:58 SteelyDan fried_rice: which patch is that?
15:02:15 fried_rice SteelyDan: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/590445/
15:02:20 melwitt SteelyDan: that's right, mriedem also wanted to land the "stop spamming the placement logs" patch for rc2
15:02:25 SteelyDan fried_rice: ack
15:02:39 SteelyDan melwitt: ack
15:02:44 SteelyDan acks for everyone
15:02:57 melwitt you get an ack and you get an ack and
15:03:31 fried_rice Can I get an aaaar, maybe from lyaaaaaarwood?
15:04:03 sean-k-mooney fried_rice: look like cdent would like some rewording of the commit message first
15:04:21 fried_rice Yeah, I'm going to ask cdent to fix it up himself, assuming that's all that's needed.
15:05:23 cdent yeah, I can fix that. I wasn't sure if matt was still around or not, and wasn't sure if people would really care, but that thing has proven a source of confusion before, so I didn't want us to add to it
15:05:32 SteelyDan fried_rice: is this the bug you were asking about? because that patch should have a bug and be rc-potential tagged, IMHO
15:05:57 sean-k-mooney i have not done anything with the logging filters but it looks reaonable at a glance
15:06:06 fried_rice SteelyDan: I was actually asking about
15:06:06 fried_rice https://review.openstack.org/#/c/590388/ - big perf improvement in the (for now and the near future) most common code path in GET /allocation_candidates
15:06:06 fried_rice https://review.openstack.org/#/c/590041/ - debug logging in GET /allocation_candidates per http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-August/132735.html
15:06:47 fried_rice SteelyDan: But yeah, Matt's needs a bug too. <== cdent (If you're still super busy, I can open that up and update the commit message whenever you're done with your reword)
15:07:32 SteelyDan fried_rice: that placement perf one going into rc2 concerns me
15:07:47 fried_rice leakypipes: heads up ^
15:07:54 SteelyDan seems like good as-soon-as-we-release fodder
