During 2 years, my packaging efforts were sponsored by eNovance. It has been great to work with them, and I would like to thank them for what they did. However (for a number of reasons which I don’t really think is appropriate to write in this blog), I decided to join Mirantis. This is a […]

This is just a quick announce: Debian packages for Juno are out. In fact, they were ready the day of the release, on the 16th of October. I uploaded it all (to Experimental) the same day, literally a few hours after the final released was git tagged. But I had no time to announce it. […]

I decided I’d post this monthly. It may be a bit boring, sorry, but I think it’s a nice thing to have this public. The log starts on the 6th, because on the 4th I was back from Debconf (after a day in San Francisco, plus 20 hours of traveling and 15 hours of time […]

If you didn’t notice, Javascript isn’t as simple as it used to be… Want to backport the 2 simple javascript libs? No problem. You then “just” need to backport a bunch of other packages which are build-dependencies… (and file #761670, #761672, and #761674 on the way when rebuilding…). Here’s the short list: gyp node-abbrev node-ansi node-ansi-color-table node-archy node-async […]

Before I start a short listing of (some of) the stuff I did during Debconf 14, I’d like to say how much I enjoyed everyone there. You guys (all of you, really!) are just awesome, and it’s always a real pleasure to see you all, each time. Anyway, here’s a bits of the stuff I […]
I spent many, many hours trying to understand why I couldn’t have both “nova console-log” showing me the output of the log, AND have the OpenStack dashboard (eg: horizon) console to work at the same time. Normally, this is done very easily, by passing multiple times the console= parameter to the Linux kernel as follow: […]
As I care to have all the Lintian output and warnings, I have this in my ~/.lintianrc: info=yes display-info=yes display-experimental=yes pedantic=yes show-overrides=yes color=auto So, by default, my Lintian setup displays all pedantic warnings. However, it’s been annoying me with the debian-watch-may-check-gpg-signature, which I don’t really care about since 1/ there’s never such a PGP stuff […]
I’ve done some clean-up in the Debian BTS. The result can be seen in the QA graphs: The last remaining 6 bugs are only affecting OpenStack Essex (which is what Wheezy ships, and which unfortunately I have not enough time to support properly), and the last one is waiting for FTP masters approval after I […]
The new version of OpenStack is out, and I have just finished uploading it all into Debian Sid. With a total of 38 packages that I uploaded yesterday (which was exhausting!), most, if not all, were only moving from Experimental to Sid with only tiny updates, and this represents the achievement of 6 months of […]
Since I have to do a lot of backports for the OpenStack packages in Debian Wheezy, I got tired of doing them by hand. Therefore, I have created a script to automate the task. I’m not particularly proud (or ashamed) of that script, but I just want to share it. Probably some fellow readers will […]
