- FUDCon Blacksburg is a short few days away:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Blacksburg_2012
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Blacksburg_2012_Cloudy_Plans
Rumours abound of an OpenStack talk, an OpenStack hackfest, some
upstream OpenStack developers attending and more! Those of us not
lucky enough to be going look forward to hearing all about it :-)
- A proposed schedule for the "Open Source Virtualization and Cloud"
devroom at FOSDEM has been announced:
https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/virt-cloud-devroom/2012-January/000018.html
A bunch of Fedora and OpenStack folks are going to be attending.
- Russell reserved a date for the Fedora 17 OpenStack Test Day:
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/cloud/2011-December/001112.html
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2012-03-08_OpenStack_Test_Day
Preparations for the test day are in their early stages. Russell
hopes we can significantly expand the set of test cases by the time
the day comes around.
- Rich wrote up a feature page covering the OpenStack F-17/Essex
efforts:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/OpenStack_Essex
- Pádraig added a feature page for libguestfs support in OpenStack:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/OpenStack_using_libguestfs
and it was approved by FESCo:
http://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/732
He already got the patches to add this support included upstream:
http://review.openstack.org/1993
http://review.openstack.org/1994
- Russell, with the help of William Henry, has been working on adding
Qpid support to OpenStack. He has created a Fedora feature page for
it here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/OpenStack_using_Qpid
The upstream blueprint is here:
http://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/apache-qpid-rpc
Slightly related, Russell also got a patch upstream which avoids
kombu being a required dependency for glance:
http://review.openstack.org/2810
- Mark backported a bunch more fixes upstream from Nova and Glance's
master branch to stable/diablo and then rebased the Fedora packages
to include these fixes:
http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/openstack-nova-2011.3-18.fc16
http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/openstack-glance-2011.3-4.fc16
The nova update also fixes this serious issue with Nova volumes:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/752709
Please to be testing these packages and giving them karma.
- Some EPEL updates are in need of karma in epel-testing:
http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/openstack-nova-2011.3-18.el6
http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/openstack-glance-2011.3-6.el6
And a couple of others have been pushed to stable recently:
http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/openstack-keystone-2011.3.1-4.el6
http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-migrate-0.6-6.el6
Finally, to recap, here are the set of OpenStack related already in
stable:
http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-webob1.0-1.0.8-3.el6
http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-prettytable-0.5-2.el6
http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-eventlet-0.9.16-3.el6
http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-sqlalchemy0.7-0.7.3-4.el6
http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-nose1.1-1.1.2-4.el6
http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-novaclient-2.6.1-0.5.89bzr.el6
- Bob has started looking at Melange, how it interacts with Quantum and
getting ready to package it for Fedora 17 Essex. One stumbling block
is that Melange currently depends on openstack-common, which hasn't
yet had a release.
- Chris has been working on Open vSwitch packaging for Fedora and sent
a bunch of cleanups upstream:
http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2011-December/013632.html
- GlusterFS folks are working on an "object storage plugin" for Swift:
http://review.gluster.com/805
This involves a fairly invasive non-upstream set of changes to Swift
to add a plugin mechanism. Figuring out a way for upstream to support
plugins like this will be crucial to the sustainability of this
feature and our ability to include it in Fedora.
- There is talk upstream of a CloudAudit (http://cloudaudit.org)
implementation being proposed for OpenStack:
http://blueprints.launchpad.net/openstack-common/+spec/cloud-audit-api
http://github.com/piston/openstack-cloudaudit
- Discussions kicked off again around the formation of the OpenStack
Foundation. These mails give a good sense of the current status:
http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2012-January/000077.html
http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2012-January/000087.html
http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2012-January/000088.html
- Mark has been working on getting a plan agreed for the
openstack-common project:
http://wiki.openstack.org/CommonLibrary
It will be based on Jason Kölker's repository, but with much of the
current API set removed until it is solid enough to commit to
maintaining compatibility for it:
http://github.com/jkoelker/openstack-common
- Mark is getting ready to release Nova and Glance updates (i.e.
2011.3.1) from the upstream stable/diablo branch:
http://wiki.openstack.org/StableBranchRelease
The branches have roughly 80 and 20 fixes respectively since the
diablo release in September.
- Cole finally slogged his way through the gnarly issues he was having
with Horizon and got it working end-to-end. He plans on continuing
with Horizon packaging adding it as a F-17 Feature.
- Russell added --yes, --rootpw and --novapw options to
openstack-db-setup:
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/cloud/2011-December/001040.html
- Russell has come up with a Plan(tm) for including newer python-xattr
in Fedora:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/732692
- Steven Dake raised an interesting issue with networking hangs with a
bridge that hasn't got a physical NIC enslaved to it:
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/cloud/2011-December/001116.html
Alan Pevec pointed out the approach taken by libvirt to resolve this,
which may also be appropriate for Nova:
http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=5754dbd
- Pete Zaitcev packaged git-review, which is used by OpenStack
developers to submit patches upstream:
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/cloud/2011-December/001119.html
- Eoghan Glynn (of rhevm-api fame :-) has started poking at Glance,
starting with the annoying issue of Glance PasteDeploy configuration
being in the same files as user configuration:
http://bugs.launchpad.net/glance/+bug/815208
- Pádraig has been working on updating some of the Fedora/EPEL relevant
upstream wiki pages:
http://wiki.openstack.org/Packaging/RHEL
http://wiki.openstack.org/NovaInstall/RHEL6Notes
http://wiki.openstack.org/NovaInstall/CentOSNotes
- Dan Berrange shared his interesting plans to propose the use of
libvirt-gconfig for Nova's libvirt XML generation:
http://lists.launchpad.net/openstack/msg06531.html
- Rich proposed some patches to libguestfs to better support
OpenStack's use case:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2011-December/thread.html#00134
Rich and Matt clashed over the patches, eventually resolving their
differences with sticks and knives. Well, not really, but it's an
interesting thread :-)
- Boris Filippov (of Grid Dynamics) posted some Nova patches for
inclusion in the Fedora patches. After a little discussion, it was
agreed that it was more appropriate to send them upstream:
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/cloud/2011-December/001077.html
http://github.com/bfilippov/nova/commits/gd-patches
Boris posted two of the patches to launchpad:
http://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/904767
http://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/904724
and also to gerrit:
https://review.openstack.org/2413
https://review.openstack.org/2414
but it looks like both patches were already fixed in master.
- Saggi Mizrahi reported this glance dependency issue:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/759512
and Pádraig fixed it.
- Ilkka Tengvall reported this issue with nova user creation:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/770927
and (again) Pádraig fixed it.
- Russell add a LICENSE file and man pages to the glance tarball
upstream. These were issues identified during the glance Fedora
package review:
http://review.openstack.org/2743
http://review.openstack.org/2765
