Well it will need re-approving for Liberty, but we can get that done very quickly. I am assuming Jay is pushing this now, which is cool. Let me know how I can help there. >>> Where can I find more info about this? >> >> I suspect it will be included on our liberty priority TODO list, that >> I am yet to write, but I expect to appear here: >> http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/ >> >>> I really think nova should put some more effort on helping this >>> happen.

I think we reviewed this at the mid cycle. Basically the patch needs splitting up into little chunks, where possible. Anyways, lets not get distracted here. >The latest patch-sets > relied on the gate to run some tests and the biggest issue I had - > still have - is that this script[0] didn't even use glanceclient but > direct http calls.

Its possible to test it locally, using opensource software, but its a painful setup process. > If there's a way to do it - something that has already being asked - > it'd be great. > > This said, I'm not sure how much time I'll have for this but I'm > trying to find someone that could help out. > > https://review.openstack.org/#/c/144875/30/plugins/xenserver/xenapi/etc/xapi.d/plugins/glance,cm I offered to help with that at the mid cycle, but I figured it got fixed already, because no one reached out. Sorry, I mean to reach out to you to check, but I totally forgot. I don't have the time now I am afraid. Nikhil or I should be able to find someone at Rackspace to help out with that.
