14:14:43 efried kashyap: I use git-restack regularly to manage series
14:14:48 dansmith stephenfin: ^
14:15:17 stephenfin dansmith: I don't see how though http://paste.openstack.org/show/754547/
14:16:49 dansmith hmm, so it must be claiming that both of those are missing from one or the other
14:17:23 dansmith oh
14:17:32 dansmith stephenfin: aren't you creat5ing them as nullable=True,
14:17:39 dansmith but they're =false in the model
14:17:47 stephenfin god damn it, yup
14:18:04 dansmith that output from the test looks different than I remember for some reason, but .. yeah
14:18:20 stephenfin Thanks. I've been looking at that for at least 30 minutes 😅
14:18:34 dansmith np, blinders.. it's a thing
14:21:54 kashyap efried: Good to know. Thanks for the view
14:22:46 efried kashyap: in fact, if you're trying to convince people that gerrit is awesomer than other things, how do other things manage series? Cause gerrit does it awesomely.
14:24:47 efried kashyap: I wrote a tutorial, which might be handy: https://docs.openstack.org/contributors/de/code-and-documentation/patch-series-tutorial.html
14:25:04 efried https://docs.openstack.org/contributors/code-and-documentation/patch-series-tutorial.html
14:30:00 kashyap Excellent; I saw that before!
14:30:27 kashyap efried: I don't think this group might consider Gerrit. I wanted to present where Gerrit shines
14:30:45 kashyap s/!//
14:31:22 efried cool
14:33:42 kashyap efried: So 'git-restack' is not exactly "abandonware" is it?
14:33:55 efried what does that mean?
14:34:13 kashyap Sorry, meanining, nobody has time to tend to it
14:34:36 kashyap [Last commit was from 4 years ago.]
14:34:37 efried oh, it's maintained, insofar as that's necessary. I think someone like fungi or dhellmann owns it.
14:34:49 kashyap It might well be that the project is "done", though. Which is perfectly acceptable
14:34:56 kashyap Right, noted.
14:34:59 efried yeah, it doesn't need much. It's just a thin wrapper around `git rebase -i commit-before-wherever-my-current-series-meets-up-with-master`
14:35:08 efried just saves you figuring out that last piece.
14:36:00 fungi efried: it's a side-project of corvus
14:36:06 fungi (like gertty)
14:36:12 efried ah, k
14:36:29 sean-k-mooney efried: i think its a little smarter tehn that and looks for the parent commit where my current series meets up with its parent branch. but i might be mistaken
14:36:37 fungi ahh, nope, it's official opendev. i forgot
14:36:43 fungi he just initially developed it
14:37:08 sean-k-mooney e.g. i think if you were on stable/stien origically it look for where your feature branch meets stable/stine instead of master
14:37:23 efried kashyap: If you wanted to break that 4-year streak, we did recently discuss adding a feature where you could say `git restack --continue` and it determines whether you need a `commit --amend` or just a `rebase --continue`, which is one place I've gotten bitten in the restack workflow from time to time.
14:37:29 fungi https://review.opendev.org/#/admin/groups/git-restack-core
14:37:34 fungi infra-core approves changes for it
14:37:50 kashyap efried: Hehe, noted.
14:38:03 efried sean-k-mooney: yes, "meets up with its parent branch" is more correct. My hyphenated thingy wasn't long enough already.
14:38:17 sean-k-mooney :)
14:38:39 fungi no pending changes for review on opendev/git-restack that i can see
14:38:44 fungi was someone having problems using it?
14:39:21 sean-k-mooney the tool extention i personly want to write at some point is "git review --quad-diff <gerrit id>" or "git-review -Q" if that is free
14:40:03 sean-k-mooney it would print the diff of the current reve to its base difed againt the previs revies to that revions base
14:40:17 fungi sean-k-mooney: maybe better to just make a separate git subcommand for whatever that does? (doesn't sound like it's related to fetching and pushing changes for review)
14:40:19 sean-k-mooney so if you have don rebase it would remove them and show you only what changed
14:40:50 fungi oh, i see, you want to compare against content on gerrit... hmmm
14:41:25 sean-k-mooney fungi: ya i actully want it in gerrit itself but i dont want to write java or javscript
14:41:53 sean-k-mooney so ill settle for a little tool or an extention to git review.
14:42:06 sean-k-mooney its on my todo list for the next weekend i feel like hacking on something
14:42:20 fungi gertty has a couple of diff options already, maybe a third would fit in nicely?
14:42:39 sean-k-mooney ya maybe
14:43:06 sean-k-mooney i have been meaning to look at the db opertion in gerrty to see if i can speed up the intial data base builing
14:43:30 sean-k-mooney but the diff feature would be simpler to start with
14:45:12 efried fungi: "no pending changes" "having problems" -- no, I was just mentioning its existence to kashyap, and he asked if it was abandoned because it hasn't seen a commit in 4y, and I said nay because it doesn't need any because it's so simple, but we talked recently about a feature that could be added to it.
14:45:19 efried and now you're up to date
14:45:48 sean-k-mooney fungi: efried does it work on python3?
14:45:53 kashyap Yeah, that's completely fair. I shouldn't confuse "activity" with "improvements".
14:45:57 sean-k-mooney if its been 4 years...
14:46:19 kashyap sean-k-mooney: So? Maybe it does one thing and does it well? :-)
14:46:39 efried sean-k-mooney: um, it's possible it's sh, not python, though I haven't looked.
14:46:53 efried because technically all it would need to do is invoke a few git commands
14:47:43 sean-k-mooney its got some python 3 checking code https://github.com/openstack-infra/git-restack/blob/master/git_restack/cmd.py#L30-L46
14:47:47 sean-k-mooney so ill assume its fine
14:50:17 fungi efried: kashyap: thanks! and yeah, happy to discuss features that might be in-scope, but also as you say it's a great example of a very simple git subcommand, and it's easy to add more subcommands to git... the opendev/git-restack is nearly all boilerplate
14:50:41 fungi er, the opendev/git-restack repo is i mean
14:51:27 kashyap Noted :-)
14:51:40 fungi and yeah, it's python-based, and yeah i run it installed into a python3 (.8 beta) venv
14:54:21 sean-k-mooney gibi: do you mind if i reverse the direction fo the depend on for the vpmu patch. e.g. make the glance change to the metadef depend on the nova one.
14:54:54 sean-k-mooney the glance change is not really needed for it to work its just documentation which ill write but i dont know how long that will take to merge
15:01:23 gibi sean-k-mooney: ohh, so the new glance image property doesn't need any code on glance side?
15:02:12 sean-k-mooney correct
15:02:27 sean-k-mooney we just need to extend the nova image meta object
15:02:37 sean-k-mooney glance does no validation
15:03:30 sean-k-mooney what the metadefs are fro aare auto generating client e.g. the horizon dashboard for setting image metadata
15:04:22 gibi sean-k-mooney: thanks, then I'm OK to have the dependency in the other way
15:05:19 sean-k-mooney im currently fixing the other issue but i should get a new version up today.
15:05:33 sean-k-mooney ill start on the glance patch once that is done
15:08:54 efried gibi: responded in https://review.opendev.org/#/c/612497/ -- please let's resolve the discussion about $COMPUTE_HOST if you're still around.
15:12:04 cdent heh: "this is obviously by design"
15:14:10 dansmith efried: your comment about $COMPUTE_HOST for ironic makes this basically unusable by any real ironic deployment, AFAICT
15:15:22 efried dansmith: on the contrary, $COMPUTE_HOST is really a convenience to un-awkward the chicken/egg of having to bring up the compute so it creates the provider so you can glean its UUID and create your file and restart compute.
15:15:43 efried for ironic, don't you already know the UUIDs of the nodes before you bring up the compute service?
15:15:54 dansmith efried: except that ironic computes rebalance their nodes in ways you don
15:15:58 dansmith don't control
15:16:16 efried meaning putting them under different computes?
15:16:18 dansmith the ownership of nodes by comptues I mean
15:16:21 efried got it
15:16:22 efried well
15:16:34 dansmith point being,
15:16:44 dansmith the node is the thing with the inventory, be it the one single node for a libvirt system,
15:16:56 dansmith or the ironic nodes managed by a compute *service*
15:17:02 efried If we want to add a "template multiple providers" feature in the future, that's certainly a possibility.
15:17:02 dansmith further,
15:17:28 dansmith on something like xen or vmware where the compute *service* may be running on a different host than the actual thing providing the resource,
15:17:48 dansmith it's the node that has the inventory and they don't even share a name
15:18:25 efried Okay, so you're suggesting a) $COMPUTE_NODE is the more proper term regardless; and b) we should apply whatever changes to all "nodes", which is only >1 for ironic
15:18:27 dansmith if you make it $COMPUTE_NODE, then I think it would be natural to apply the contents below that to any compute node the compute service manages,
15:18:36 dansmith which is basically the templating thing done
