Hello everyone, The infra team would really like to get the Ubuntu Xenial for testing transition completed early this cycle. We are planning to switch any jobs that remain on Ubuntu Trusty but should be on Ubuntu Xenial on December 6, 2016. That gives us about a month from today to more gracefully migrate jobs while still getting it done early enough in the cycle to fix any issues and put it behind us. Would be great for project teams to test if their jobs run on Xenial and propose updates to openstack-infra/project-config as necessary to switch to Ubuntu Xenial.
How can you do this? First double check your job logs to see where your tests are running. The first few lines of your job console logs should say "[Zuul] Building remotely on ubuntu-xenial" if running on Xenial. Any changes to master should not run on Trusty and instead should run on Xenial. If you have jobs still running on trusty the next step is to fire up a Xenial instance locally and run that test to see if it works. Usually this will mean running the appropriate tox target or if using devstack-gate you can grab the reproduce.sh script for that job and run that script locally. If everything works, then push a change to openstack-infra/project-config. We have been using a job name suffix of -ubuntu-xenial to indicate jobs should run on xenial. An example change that does this can be found at [0]. If you run into failures hopefully you can iterate on them locally using your Xenial test setup, get them fixed, then update the job location. This work is important because it helps ensure that OpenStack functions on more "modern" linuxes. We get shiny new things like newer versions of libvirt and ovs. We also get to stop worrying about upstart. As always I and the rest of the infra team are happy to help should you have questions or concerns or just need eyeballs to help debug problems.
