Hey fellow OpenStackers, Kolla 1.0.0 has a fatal flaw in its design related to data containers. The details are outlined here: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/kolla/liberty-deployment-warning.html
Our plan to rectify this involves taking what is in stable/mitaka and making it stable/liberty and placing 1-3 patches on top of stable/liberty to make it deploy the liberty version of openstack. These 1-3 patches include metadata like repo locations, upstream tarball locations, etc. No actual code. This is a one time thing; in the future we will be following a strict bug-backport only policy. Our options include: 1. make a megapatch diff of liberty vs mitaka and merge that, with a patch on top to fix the repos Example here: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/306625/ 2. Tag the tip of stable/liberty with liberty-early-demise, delete the liberty branch, then create a new stable/liberty branch from the tip of stable/mitaka 3. Tag the tip of stable/liberty with liberty-early-demise, and run git reset -hard origin/stable/mitaka outside of gerrit. Tonyb says our setup prevents non-fast-forwarded pushes so this might not be viable. This was tonyb's work here: http://paste.openstack.org/raw/494295/ What we want to avoid is jamming 1k+ patches through our CI system and having the core reviewers have to deal with acking all those patches, or overloading gerrit and breaking things there. I am far from a git wizard, and don't really know the best way to proceed, other than we must have a liberty 1.1.0 deliverable with our mitaka bits + liberty repo pointers. I'd really like to preserve history. What we need is for stable/liberty to be an exact duplicate of stable/mitaka codwise, while also preserving history (which option 1 doesn't do). Can the Kolla community get an ack on the options from the Infrastructure team one way or another, so I can get the ball rolling on our end and sync up with Doug on the plan? Thanks! -steve
