#openstack-nova - 2024-10-15
16:18:52 bauzas unmaintained != EOL
16:19:08 elodilles i've proposed some patches that removes periodics from unmaintained/*
16:19:18 bauzas but still the question remains : should we care of the state of unmaintained branches ?
16:19:34 bauzas ack
16:19:44 bauzas moving on then
16:19:46 elodilles so yepp, it's not a general concern
16:19:47 bauzas #topic Release Planning

16:20:22 bauzas #topic Review priorities
16:20:27 bauzas #link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-2025.1-status
16:20:42 bauzas I did some cleanup in the etherpad and added the recent approved blueprints
16:20:53 bauzas a round of reviews is strongly encouraged
16:21:38 bauzas #topic PTG planning
16:21:45 bauzas #info as a reminder, we'll meet (virtually) at the PTG on Oct 21-25 2024

16:22:10 bauzas #link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-2025.1-ptg
16:22:19 bauzas feel free to add more topics in the above etherpad
16:24:55 bauzas also, we'll have a x-p session between Horizon and Nova
16:25:03 bauzas feel free to add items for that session
16:25:12 bauzas which will happen on Wed 1600UTC
16:25:28 tkajinam iirc we have a few slots in tc PTG to discuss eventlet removal, so we may want to decide the plan for it and nova specific one.
16:25:52 bauzas yeah I heard it
16:25:52 tkajinam my current preference is to have global discussion first and then nova one but I'm open for different opinions
16:25:58 bauzas when would those topics happen ?
16:26:02 bauzas ditto
16:26:28 tkajinam I think we have a slot on Monday and the other on Wednesday
16:26:29 bauzas I hope the eventlet talks would happen on Monday or Tuesday to leave other projects time for discussing that again
16:26:30 sean-k-mooney there is a sperate etherpad for an overall session
16:26:36 tkajinam https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/oct2024-ptg-os-tc
16:27:15 tkajinam ok it seems they canceled the slots on Wednesday
16:27:16 sean-k-mooney not that oen this https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/oct2024-ptg-eventlet-removal
16:27:26 tkajinam ah, ok
16:27:42 bauzas okay, I'll mention that etherpad in our own Nova etherpad
16:27:47 sean-k-mooney but yes curerntly a monday and wednesday slot but no adjenda
16:27:54 bauzas I need to write the agenda, I'll refer to that session
16:28:36 tkajinam sean-k-mooney, ok. thanks for the info.
16:30:30 bauzas cool, ditto
16:30:33 bauzas moving on then
16:30:49 bauzas there will also be an i18n discussion I'll attend
16:31:07 bauzas I'll refer to it too with possibly follow-up discussions during nova sessions
16:31:36 bauzas #topic Stable Branches
16:31:42 bauzas elodilles: floor is yours
16:31:45 elodilles ack
16:31:49 elodilles #info stable/202*.* gates seem to be OK
16:32:03 elodilles #info final 2023.1 Antelope nova release before the branch transitions to 'unmaintained': https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/releases/+/932406
16:32:08 elodilles does anyone have any bug fix that should be part of the final antelope release?
16:32:19 elodilles open & merged patches on stable/2023.1: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-stable-2023.1-eom
16:32:58 elodilles there are some patches that wait for a 2nd +2, but otherwise i don't know if anything would be important
16:33:13 elodilles and that's all from me
16:33:38 tkajinam maybe we should check if all follow-up fixes for image inspector have been backported
16:34:27 elodilles tkajinam: good point. afair, we had quite many of that backported,
16:34:44 elodilles though i don't know if that were all
16:35:05 bauzas well, there are a bunch of them
16:35:19 sean-k-mooney i think for the issues that are already fix the answer is yes
16:35:31 bauzas if you speak of the CVE fixes, yeah
16:35:41 tkajinam ah, ok
16:35:51 sean-k-mooney we also backported the fix for the aws and iso regressions on stable
16:35:52 elodilles https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:%22format-inspector%22+branch:stable/2023.1
16:35:57 bauzas if that's about the 'improvements' (like raw means raw), then I'm unsure
16:36:17 elodilles these are the ones that i'm aware of, at least (plus the bug fixes)
16:36:45 bauzas those are the CVE fixes
16:37:17 tkajinam My thought was mostly about regression fixes, not improvements. but I think we are ok about the known issues.
16:37:49 elodilles ACK
16:38:22 bauzas yeah so I checked
16:38:37 bauzas https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/926144 is more a signal patch, like 'dude, you shouldn't be doing that'
16:39:35 bauzas and this was following https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/924866 which was backported
16:39:56 tkajinam lgtm
16:40:31 bauzas we recently merged https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/930754 but I don't see any interest in backporting it down
16:40:51 bauzas and there is a dep on glance
16:41:08 bauzas so I think we can't use the glance safebelt
16:41:17 bauzas hence the non-backport
16:41:30 bauzas so I guess we're cool
16:42:02 bauzas moving on ten
16:42:06 bauzas then*
16:42:09 elodilles ++
16:42:23 bauzas #topic vmwareapi 3rd-party CI efforts Highlights
16:42:31 bauzas fwiesel: anything to mention ?
16:42:43 fwiesel No, nothing from my side.
16:42:48 fwiesel Sorry for the lack of progress.
16:43:29 bauzas no worries, we're all busy
16:43:35 bauzas particularly me.
16:43:51 bauzas #topic Open discussion
16:43:57 bauzas (tkajinam): Removing db migration tool from nova_placement to placement: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/placement/+/932324
16:43:59 bauzas shoot
16:44:28 tkajinam I discussed this already with sean-k-mooney and gibi but I think it may make sense to bring the topic here to get any additional feedback
16:45:10 tkajinam placement repository has carried the migration tool which pulls placement db from nova db. This was required in upgrade from Stein to Train and I'm wondering if we can directly drop it now because I don't think anyone may use it from master nowadays
16:45:45 bauzas this is old code
16:45:55 bauzas I don't see any controversy in removing it
16:46:09 tkajinam :-)
16:46:15 bauzas and people wanting to use it could just pip install in a venv an older release of placement
16:46:23 bauzas and use that tool
16:46:31 gibi yeah, drop it.
16:46:50 tkajinam A quick question I still have is whether we should keep the upgrade note which is almost empty https://8f5091142d0d93e54bb3-66f76d6fb4c84b410723fddf17d0dbe7.ssl.cf5.rackcdn.com/932324/2/check/openstack-tox-docs/93314e0/docs/admin/upgrade-notes.html or keep it (and the administrator guide section) as a placeholder
16:47:03 opendevreview Amit Uniyal proposed openstack/nova master: Update Nova bdm with updated swap info https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/929858
16:47:04 bauzas from a procedural perspective, I litterally see zero paperwork to fill
16:48:20 bauzas tkajinam: keep that
