Hi,As some of you already know, after some difficult time after I left my past employer, I'm back! And I don't plan on giving-up, ever... :) The repositories: ================= Today, it's my pleasure to announce today the general availability of Debian packages for the Queens OpenStack release. These are available in official Debian Sid (as usual), and also as a Stretch (unofficial) backports. These packages have been tested successfully with Tempest. Here's the address of the (unofficial) backport repositories: deb http://stretch-queens.debian.net/debian stretch-queens-backports main deb-src http://stretch-queens.debian.net/debian stretch-queens-backports main deb http://stretch-queens.debian.net/debian stretch-queens-backports-nochange main deb-src http://stretch-queens.debian.net/debian stretch-queens-backports-nochange main The repository key is here: wget -O - http://stretch-queens.debian.net/debian/dists/pubkey.gpg | \ apt-key add Please note that stretch-queens.debian.net is just a IN CNAME pointer to the server of my new employer, Infomaniak, and that the real server name is: stretch-queens.infomaniak.ch So, that server is of course located in Geneva, Switzerland. Thanks to my employer for sponsoring that server, and allowing me to build these packages during my work time. What's new in this release ========================== 1/ Python 3 ----------- The new stuff is ... the full switch Python 3! As much as I understand, apart from Gentoo, no other distribution switched to Python 3 yet. Both RDO and Ubuntu are planning to do it for Rocky (at least that's what I've been told). So once more, Debian is on the edge. :) While there is still dual Python 2/3 support for clients (with priority to Python 3 for binaries in /usr/bin), all services have been switched to Py3. Building the packages worked surprisingly well. I was secretly expecting more failures. The only real collateral damage is: - manila-ui (no Py3 support upstream)
Just a note of thanks for calling our attention to this issue. manila-ui had been rather neglected and is getting TLC now. We'll certainly get back to you when we've got it working with Python 3.

As the Horizon package switched to Python 3, it's unfortunately impossible to keep these plugins to use Python 2, and therefore, manila-ui is now (from a Debian packaging standpoint) RC buggy, and shall be removed from Debian Testing. Also, Django 2 will sooner or later be the only option in Debian Sid. It'd be great if Horizon's patches could be merged, and plugins adapt ASAP. Also, a Neutron plugins isn't released upstream yet for Queens, and since the Neutron package switched to Python 3, the old Pike plugin packages are also considered RC buggy (and it doesn't build with Queens anyway): - networking-mlnx The faith of the above packages is currently unknown. Hopefully, there's going to be upstream work to make them in a packageable state (which means, for today's Debian, Python 3.6 compatible), if not, there will be no choice but to remove them from Debian. As for networking-ovs-dpdk, it needs more work on OVS itself to support dpdk, and I still haven't found the time for it yet. As a more general thing, it'd be nice if there was Python 3.6 in the gate. Hopefully, this will happen with Bionic release and the infra switching to it. It's been a reoccurring problem though, that Debian Sid is always experiencing issues before the other distros (ie: before Ubuntu, for example), because it gets updates first. So I'd really love to have Sid as a possible image in the infra, so we could use it for (non-voting) gate. 2/ New debconf unified templates -------------------------------- The Debconf templates used to be embedded within each packages. This isn't the case anymore, all of them are now stored in openstack-pkg-tools if they are not service specific. Hopefully, this will help having a better coverage for translations. The postinst scripts can also optionally create the service tenant and user automatically. The system also does less by default (ie: it wont even read your configuration files if the user doesn't explicitly asks for config handling), API endpoint can now use FQDN and https as well. 3/ New packages/services ------------------------ We've added Cloudkitty and Vitrage. Coming soon: Octavia and Vitrage. Unfortunately, at this point, cloudkitty-dashboard still contains non-free files (ie: embedded minified javascripts). Worse, some of them cannot even be identified (I couldn't find out what version from upstream it was). So even if this package is ready, I can't upload it to Debian in such state.
