The last netstack email about splitting Quantum repos touched a bit on openstack-common, but I thought it was worth creating a separate specifically on Quantum + openstack-common. I've tried to CC some of the people that seem to be driving discussion of openstack-common
When reviewing the Quantum codebase, there seems to be a good amount of "infrastructure" code for both client + server that is not quantum specific and was likely borrowed from existing projects like nova + glance. I'd really like to get that code into something like openstack-common for several reasons: 1) keep quantum bloat down 2) make sure bug fixes/enhancements made in one project benefit all projects 3) make sure teams don't have to duplicate work writing unit tests in each project. Can someone working on openstack-common comment on the current state of the work? Particularly, do we expect it to be a standard github.com/openstack/repo soon, and do we expect it to be packaged for major distros soon? It wouldn't seem like Quantum would want to start using it until that was the case. Assuming we can start depending on openstack-common, I would advocate for a review of the quantum codease identifying chunks that either are already in openstack-common, or we think are good candidates for addition to openstack-common.
