16:53:16 elodilles ack
16:53:23 elodilles start with some repetition
16:53:26 elodilles #info stable/2023.1 branches were cut
16:53:34 elodilles #info stable gates seem to be OK - though it's hard to merge patches due to intermittent failures
16:53:43 bauzas unfortunately true
16:53:51 elodilles on older branches especially
16:53:54 elodilles #info stable branch status / gate failures tracking etherpad: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-stable-branch-ci
16:54:02 elodilles and that's all
16:54:07 elodilles to be quick
16:54:25 bauzas thanks a lot
16:54:33 bauzas last topic
16:54:40 bauzas #topic Open discussion
16:54:46 bauzas we have an item
16:54:53 bauzas (astupnik) Known Issues section of Release Notes contains only known issues added during specific release cycle instead of complete list of known issues (all issues notes from nova/releasenotes/notes). I am wondering if this is normal or there is some bug in documentation framework? Example: min-bandwidth-workaround-0533ad03f67592a9.yaml introduced using I41f42c1a7595d9e6a73d1261bf1ac1d47ddadcdf and still affecting Nova.
16:55:04 bauzas tl;dr: answer is yes, this is expected behaviour
16:55:40 bauzas our release notes tooling provides a list of items based on YAML files that exist on a git branch
16:56:00 bauzas and accordingly heavily relies on git for the ordering and sorting
16:56:16 astupnik ack. I am wondering what's the best approach for tracking known issues?
16:56:33 bauzas known issues that aren't fixed ?
16:56:43 sean-k-mooney we dont really want to retoactivly delete the old release notes for knwon issues
16:56:56 bauzas that's a very good question and I don't have an existing solution on top of my head
16:56:57 sean-k-mooney we generally try ot refence the previous know issue in the patch that fixes it
16:57:02 sean-k-mooney and update the docs where approprate
16:57:35 astupnik the problem is that known issues in release notes only contain new issues, not ones that existed before release...
16:57:50 sean-k-mooney correct that is waht we wanted
16:57:55 astupnik ack
16:57:56 bauzas well, you have a list of known issues per release here https://docs.openstack.org/releasenotes/nova/zed.html
16:57:59 bauzas and others
16:58:17 sean-k-mooney we also tend to do thins like this https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/admin/virtual-gpu.html#caveats
16:58:39 bauzas but we don't have a specific page that references a list of known issues over all the releases, despite that being possible with the reno tool, I think
16:59:04 sean-k-mooney i dont know how we would mark them as resolved
16:59:18 bauzas the best remains to bug the worldwide intelligence that stays on that channel :)
16:59:23 sean-k-mooney you dont really want a list of all know issue ever just the ones that are still outstanding
16:59:34 astupnik thank you for clarifications. Simplest way I found is to look for "issue" in release notes folder. I was wondering if there is more user-friendly option.
16:59:40 bauzas sean-k-mooney: yeah tracking is a problem
16:59:46 sean-k-mooney im sure chatgpt can fix this for us :P
16:59:53 bauzas ideally a known issue should mention a bug report
16:59:55 astupnik sean-k-mooney: I want all unresolved issues
17:00:13 sean-k-mooney that is our launchpad open bug list
17:00:19 astupnik heh, ok
17:00:21 bauzas so people should know the status of that issue by querying the bug tracker
17:00:36 bauzas sean-k-mooney: on a side note, I have a PTG topic on it :)
17:00:45 sean-k-mooney ack
17:00:45 bauzas -ETOOMANY open bugs
17:00:58 bauzas let's just axe them ::)
17:01:06 bauzas anyway, we're overtime
17:01:08 bauzas thanks all

17:03:05 opendevreview Amit Uniyal proposed openstack/placement master: Bugtracker link update https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/placement/+/876768
17:26:47 sean-k-mooney bauzas: im conflicted about https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/875621 by the way
17:27:09 sean-k-mooney you should not need to delete those test but we might need to modify them slightly
17:27:30 sean-k-mooney at some point we can drop the version check in the api and the tests
17:27:57 sean-k-mooney perhaps for now we should set https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/configuration/config.html#workarounds.disable_compute_service_check_for_ffu
17:27:59 sean-k-mooney in them
17:28:08 sean-k-mooney to disable the compute service verion check
17:32:09 dansmith I'm confused
17:32:26 dansmith I thought we were going to set the min version for bobcat to zed to keep testing N-2 to master
17:32:44 dansmith oh wait, I'm being stupid
17:32:52 dansmith no wait
17:34:02 bauzas sean-k-mooney: yeah I'll try to modify the tests
17:34:05 dansmith yeah, that workaround is the thing we need to support N-2 to N upgrades without being live, so the conductors start before the computes have come online and upgraded, right?
17:34:11 dansmith and we're setting this in the skip-level job already IIRC
17:34:41 bauzas dansmith: the problem is that the test verifies some Yoga compute
17:34:52 dansmith the vdpa test?
17:35:02 bauzas so, even if we were saying ok for having N-2 computes, those tests couldn't work
17:35:04 bauzas dansmith: yea
17:35:42 dansmith okay, that just means our functional tests are broken, not the grenade job right?
17:36:00 opendevreview Amit Uniyal proposed openstack/placement master: Bugtracker link update https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/placement/+/876768
17:36:07 bauzas dansmith: yeah
17:36:13 dansmith I guess I'm jumped over that in my head and thought there was a suggestions that the grenade job had a problem
17:36:18 dansmith gotcha, nevermind me :)
17:36:19 bauzas context : https://fb9f1a762c721749bb72-4adf110539aed9252479dc6b548d2884.ssl.cf5.rackcdn.com/875621/9/check/nova-tox-functional-py38/7df3e76/testr_results.htm
17:36:47 dansmith yeah
17:36:54 bauzas so I'll try to modify those functional tests
17:36:57 dansmith yup
17:37:04 dansmith I'm caught up now :)
17:37:11 bauzas either I'll delete those tests given we no longer need to verify yoga computes
17:37:26 bauzas or I'll find a way to verify yoga computes with antelope services
17:38:06 dansmith I think we have other tests that continue to test those things
17:38:35 dansmith but also, if we're past the support envelope for those things, I'm not sure we need the tests or the code that supports them
17:39:07 dansmith if it's really RPC compat then sure, but if it's service version based, maybe not
17:42:34 bauzas dansmith: in general we have unittests verifying RPC compatibilty
17:42:52 bauzas like, we have UTs for RPC 6.x compute versions
17:43:07 bauzas that continue to verify if we can call a 5.x one
17:43:16 dansmith right, what I'm saying is.. if the functionality being tested is that service version X can coexist with master, we should be able to drop those tests *and* the functionality once X becomes old enough
17:43:36 bauzas dansmith: yeah me too
17:44:10 bauzas hence me saying I'll try to see if we can modify the tests, but if not, I'll delete those tests as we no longer support Yoga computes in Bobcat
17:44:22 bauzas sean-k-mooney: ^
17:46:08 bauzas dansmith: btw. should I modify my change to rather depend on https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/875773 ?
17:46:34 bauzas and no longer modify zuul to say voting for grenade-skip-level https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/875621/9/.zuul.yaml
17:47:10 dansmith I mean it's up to you.. depends on how much of a hurry you're in I guess
17:48:29 bauzas dansmith: well, here I need your advice
17:48:35 bauzas we'll now have two zuul jobs
17:48:54 bauzas grenade-skip-level and grenade-skip-level-always
17:49:07 bauzas none of them will be voting once we merge https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/875773
