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;...
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.

* 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.
