[openstack-dev] consolidating .mailmap?

2013-10-26 Thread Robert Collins
So nova has a massive .mailmap that maps multiple addresses for one person together. I'm wondering if a) it's still needed, and b) if it is, should we push it into all the repositories - e.g. have a single global copy and an automated job to push updates around. -Rob -- Robert Collins Distingui

Hi Drew, Unfortunately there's not much up to date documentation on how to write an api extension (its on the TODO list), but as Phil mentioned looking at existing extensions like scheduler_hints is a good place to start. You'll need to decide whether you want to write a V2 and V3 API version of

Hi, I am trying to set up a deployment via neutron ryu plugin, but it seems there is no way to set up it right with the latest neutron code and the latest ryu code . And the document about ryu with openstack is not updated for a long time. https://github.com/osrg/ryu/wiki/OpenStack Who is maintai

I think I will try to have a unconference at the HK summit about ideas the cinder developers (and the taskflow developers, since it's not a concept that is unique /applicable to just cinder) are having about said state machine (and it's potential usage). So look out for that, be interesting to

Deletes should only be allowed when the vm is in a power off state. This will allow consistent state transition. Thanks Al On Oct 26, 2013, at 8:55 AM, Joshua Harlow wrote: > I think I will try to have a unconference at the HK summit about ideas the > cinder developers (and the taskflow deve

Potentially, Although I think the lack of formalization and visibility (and the ability to easily change its transitions) into the state machine is at this point causing part of this pain. If the state machine was well defined (and adjustable - to a degree...) then you could imagine only allow

This is a bit off topic , but in general it seems to me that the state transitions as you said are not clearly defined for many openstack components. Is there any effort underway to define these? As the software gets bigger and bigger this will help both developers and operators. Thanks & Regar

There is at least 1 such effort being discussed in cinder, other projects I can not say. I am hoping to gain more traction there as taskflow[1] I think can provide (or help provide) a foundation to help here. Taskflow itself has a well defined state machine [2]. But it's in the end up to the pro

Re: [openstack-dev] Remove vim modelines?

2013-10-26 Thread Ruslan Kiianchuk
If someone takes effort to learn Vim to the point when he/she develops code in it, they most definitely have their preferred settings already, why overwrite them? If those settings conflict with the style guide -- it has been said, pep8 and hacking check will notify. I always thought that leaving
