Hey, Happenings in OpenStack/Fedora/EPEL this week: * Pádraig Brady has continued his efforts to get OpenStack working in EPEL. The wiki page has all the details: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenStack#OpenStack_in_EPEL After some discussion on the list, and some experimentation by Pádraig to make Nova work with older versions, it was decided to package newer versions of webob and sqlalchemy using this approach: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python_Eggs#Multiple_Versions Pádraig, Toshio and Steve Traylen proceeded to kick ass by fixing an issue in python-migrate: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/748784 missing python-tempita Requires: in python-migrate and packaging python-webob1.0, python-sqlalchemy0.7 and python-nose1.1: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/754848 Review Request: python-webob1.0 - WSGI request and response object https://bugzilla.redhat.com/755065 Review Request: python-sqlalchemy0.7 - compat package epel 6 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/755139 Review Request: python-nose1.1 - Discovery-based unittest extension for Python * Bob Kukura did an excellent job of packaging Quantum: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/755033 Review Request: openstack-quantum - Virtual network service for OpenStack * David Nalley has pushed openstack-swift-1.4.3 into rawhide: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=openstack-swift.git;a=commitdiff;h=3216a70f66 and Pete Zaitcev has been testing it: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/cloud/2011-November/thread.html#982 Alan Pevec has also been attempting to commit permissions to update openstack-swift in F-16/EPEL6 and fix some of the packaging issues in bugzilla. * Alan has also been preparing to update keystone to 2011.3.1 when it is released upstream soon. This has a bunch of fixes and should work a lot better with Nova, Glance, Swift, etc. http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=openstack-keystone.git;a=commitdiff;h=191daeea8d * Cole Robinson has been making good progress getting Dashboard/Horizon running and is starting to work on packaging it. * Russell Bryant has started investigating switching Nova to use MySQL by default: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/cloud/2011-November/000996.html * Alan Pevec has start looking into getting Nova's VNC console support working: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/734348 Figure out what to do about ajaxterm * There's been a bunch more progress on the Nova stable branch with ~20 patches pushed in the last week. The stable branch for Glance has also opened this week with ~15 patches backported from master. All of these will be pulled into Fedora soon. * Boris Filippov from Grid Dynamics has been sponsored and intends helping out with OpenStack on Fedora/EPEL: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/user/view/bfilippov * On a slightly random note, eatmydata is apparently useful for speeding up the running of Nova's unit tests, but it's not in Fedora yet. If anyone wanted to pick up the abandoned package review, that would be cool: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/592500 Review Request: libeatmydata - Disable fsync() and friends Cheers, Mark. _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud
