Working with Mirantis from now on

November 2, 2014 – 8:12 am

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 formal public announce of it: I will be working from Mirantis office in Grenoble just right after the Paris OpenStack summit of this first week of November.

OpenStack Juno is out, Debian (and Ubuntu Trusty ports) packages ready

October 21, 2014 – 5:47 am

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.

This week-end, I took the time to do an Ubuntu Trusty port, which I also publish (it’s just a mater of rebuilding all, and it should work out of the box). Here are the backports repositories. For Wheezy:

deb http://archive.gplhost.com/debian juno-backports main

deb http://archive.gplhost.com/debian juno main

For trusty:

deb http://archive.gplhost.com/debian trusty-juno-backports main

But of course, everything is also available directly in Debian. Since Sid/Jessie contains OpenStack Icehouse (which has more chance to receive long enough security support), and it will be like this until Jessie is released. So I have uploaded all of Juno into Debian Experimental. This shows on the OpenStack qa page (you may also notice that the team is nearly reaching 200 packages… though am planning to off-load some of that to the Python module team, when the migration to Git will be finished). On the QA page, you may also see that I uploaded all of the last Icehouse point release to Sid, and that all packages migrated to Jessie. There’s only a few minor issues with some Python modules which I fixed, that haven’t migrated to Jessie yet.

I can already tell that all packages can be installed without an issue, and that I know Horizon at least works as expected. But I didn’t have time to test it all just yet. I’m currently working on doing even more installation automation at the package level (by providing some OVS bridging init script and such, to make it more easy to run Tempest functional testing). I’ll post more about this when it’s ready.

OpenStack packaging activity: September 2014

October 5, 2014 – 8:41 am

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 gap). It is to be noted that every time something is uploaded in Debian for Icehouse (in Sid), or for Juno (in Experimental), there’s also a corresponding backport produced for Wheezy.

 

Saturday 6th & Sunday 7th:
– packaged libjs-twitter-bootstrap-wizard (in new queue)
– Uploaded python-pint after reviewing the debian/copyright
– Worked on updating python-eventlet in Experimental, and adding Python3 support. It seems Python3 support isn’t ready yet, so I will probably remove that feature from the package update.
– Tried to apply the Django 1.7 patches for python-django-bootstrap-form. They didn’t work, but Raphael came back on Monday morning with new versions
of the patches, which should be good this time.
– Helped the DSA (Debian System Administrators) with the Debian OpenStack cloud. It’s looking good and working now (note: I helped them during Debconf 14).
– Started a page about adding more tasksel tasks: https://wiki.debian.org/tasksel/MoreTasks. It’s looking like Joey Hess is adding new tasks by default in Tasksel, with “OpenStack compute node” and “OpenStack proxy node”. It will be nice to have them in the default Debian installer! :)
– Packaged and uploaded python-dib-utils, now in NEW queue.

Monday 8th:
– Uploaded fixed python-django-bootstrap-form with patch for Django 1.7.
– Packaged and uploaded python-pysaml2.
– Finilized and uploaded python-jingo which is needed for python-django-compressor unit tests
– Finalized and uploaded python-coffin which is needed for python-django-compressor unit tests
– Worked on running the unit tests for python-django-compressor, as I needed to know if it could work with Django 1.7. It was hard to find the correct way to run the unit tests, but finally, they all passed. I will add the unit tests once coffin and jingo will be accepted in Sid.
– Applied patches in the Debian BTS for python-django-openstack-auth and Django 1.7. Uploaded the fixed package.
– Fixed python-django-pyscss compat with Django 1.7, uploaded the result.
– Updated keystone to Juno b3.
– Built Wheezy backports of some JS libs needed for Horizon in Juno, which I already uploaded to Sid last summer:
o libjs-twitter-bootstrap-datepicker
o libjs-jquery.quicksearch
o libjs-spin.js
– Upstreamed the Django 1.7 patch for python-django-openstack-auth:
https://review.openstack.org/119972

Tuesday 9:
– Updated and uploaded Swift 2.1.0. Added swift-object-expirer package to it, together with init script.

Wednesday 10:
Basically, cleaned the Debian BTS of almost all issues today… :P
– Added it.po update to nova (Closes: #758305).
– Backported libvirt 1.2.7 to Wheezy, to be able to close this bug: https://bugs.debian.org/757548 (eg: changed dependency from libvirt-bin to libvirt-daemon-system)
– Uploaded the fixed nova package using libvirt-daemon-system
– Upgraded python-trollius to 1.0.1
– Fixed tuskar-ui to work with Django 1.7. Disabled pep8 tests during build. Added build-conflicts: python-unittest2.
– Fixed python-django-compressor for Django 1.7, and now running unit tests with it, after python-coffin and python-jingo got approved in Sid by FTP masters.
– Fixed python-xstatic wrong upstream URLs.
– Added it.po debconf translation to Designate.
– Added de.po debconf translation to Tuskar.
– Fixed copyright holders in python-xstatic-rickshaw
– Added python-passlib as dependency for python-cinder.

Remaining 3 issues in the BTS: ceilometer FTBFS, Horizon unit test with Django 1.7, Designate fail to install. All of the 3 are harder to fix, and I may try to do so later this week.

Thursday 11:
– Fixed python-xstatic-angular and python-xstatic-angular-mock to deal with the new libjs-angularjs version (closes 2 Debian RC bugs: uninstallable).
– Fixed ceilometer FTBFS (Closes rc bug)

– Fixed some too restrictive python-xstatic-angular* dependencies on the libjs-angularjs (the libjs-angularjs increased version).

Tuesday 16:
– Uploaded updates to Experimental:
o python-eventlet 0.15.2 (this one took a long time as it needed maintenance)
o oslo-config
o python-oslo.i18n
– Uploaded to Sid:
o python-diskimage-builder 0.1.30-1
o python-django-pyscss 1.0.2-1
– Fixed horizon libapache-mode-wsgi to be a dependency of openstack-dashboard-apache and not just openstack-dashboard (in both Icehouse & Juno).
– Removed the last failing Django 1.7 unit test from Horizon. It doesn’t seem relevant anyway.
– Backported python-netaddr 0.7.12 to Wheezy (needed by oslo-config).
– Started working on oslo.rootwrap, though it failed to build in Wheezy with a unit test failure.

Backporting libjs-angularjs and libjs-d3 to Wheezy

September 15, 2014 – 5:13 pm

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
node-block-stream

Debconf 14 activity

September 6, 2014 – 5:42 pm

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 did.

1/ packaging of Google Cloud Engine client tools.

Thanks to the presence of Eric and Jimmy, I was able to finish the work I started at Debconf 13 last year. All python modules are packaged and uploaded. Only the final client (the “gcloud” command line utility) isn’t uploaded, even though it’s already packaged. The reason is that this client downloads “stuff” from internet, so I need to get the full, bundled, version of it, to avoid this. Eric gave me the link, I just didn’t have time to finish it yet. Though the (unfinished) package is already in the Git in Alioth.

2/ Tasksel talks

We discussed improvements in Tasksel both during the conference, and later (in front of beers…). I was able to add a custom task on a modified version of the Tasksel package for my own use. I volunteered myself for adding a “more task” option in Tasksel for Jessie+1 because I really would like to see this feature, and nobody raised hand, but honestly, I have no idea how to do it, and therefore, I’m not sure I’ll be able to do so. We’ll see… Anyway, before this happen, we must make sure that we know what kind of tasks we want in this “more tasks” screen, otherwise it’d be useless work for nothing. Therefore, I have setup a wiki page. Please edit the page and drop your ideas there. I’ve already added entries for desktops and Debian blends, but I’m sure there’s more that we could add.

3/ Custom Debian CD

I started experimentation on building my own Debian Wheezy CD image (well, DVD, since the resulting image is nearly 2GB). This was fun, but I am still having the issue that the installer fails to install Dash, so the CD is still unusable. I’ll try to debug it. Oh…  I nearly forgot… “of course”, the ISO image aims at including all OpenStack Icehouce packages backported to Wheezy, and the goal was to include the above custom Tasksel task, with an “OpenStack proxy node” task, and a “OpenStack compute” task. Let’s hope I can figure out what the issue is, and finally release it.

4/ OpenStack talk

Nothing special to say, just watch the video. I hope my talk was interesting enough. Of course, after watching myself, I hate everything I see, and would like to correct so many mistakes, but that’s the usual, I guess.

5/ Some RC fixing

Thanks to the nice work of our DPL rebuilding all the archive, I had to fix a couple of FTBFS issues on my own packages. 3 of them have been easy to fix (2 missing build-dependencies which I missed because my automated build environment has them by default, and a unit test failure), I still don’t understand what’s going on with Ceilometer. I also NMU-ed transmission (switching from 2.82 to 2.84, as upstream had the bugfix, and current maintainer was not responsive) which was the last blocker for the miniupnpc transition to Jessie. After the 5 days delay of the upload, it went in Sid, then migrated to Jessie, together with the miniupnpc library. I also fixed a trivial RC bug with python3-webob.

6/ Python team meeting

It was nice to see everyone, and hopefully, we’ll soon implement what we discussed. I hope to start migrating some of my OpenStack dependencies to the team once we move to Git (though please don’t expect this to happen before the Juno release, which keeps me very busy these days).

There’s probably more stuff which I did during Debconf 14 (hacking or otherwise), but either it’s not worth sharing, or I can’t remember… :)

sysvinit not sending output to all consoles

July 20, 2014 – 4:10 pm

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:

console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200

But it never worked. Always, it’s the last console= thing that was taken into account by sysvinit (or, shall I say, bootlogd). Spending hours trying to figure out what would be the correct kernel command to pass didn’t help. Then this week-end, by the magic pure chance of being subscribed to the sysvinit bug reports, I have finally found out. We’ve had this bug in Debian for more than 10 years:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=181756

And it has the patch! It just feels so lame that the issue has been pending since 2003, and with a patch since 2006, and nobody even tried to have it enter Debian. I tried the Wheezy patch in the above bug report, and then tadaaaaaa! I finally had both the “nova console-log” (eg: ttyS0) console output, and the interactive tty0 to work on my Debian cloud image. I have produced a fixed version of the sysvinit package for Wheezy, if anyone wants to try it:

http://archive.gplhost.com/debian/pool/juno-backports/main/s/sysvinit/

This doesn’t only affect only the cloud images use case. Let’s say you have a server. If it’s a modern server, probably you have IPMI 2.0 on it. While having access through the integrated KVM over IP may be nice, seeing the boot process through the serial console redirection is often a lot more snappy than the (often VNC based) video output, plus it wouldn’t require Java. Too often, Java a requirement for these nasty IPMI web interface (that’s the case for at least: Dell DRAC, Supermicro IMPI, and HP iLO). Well, it should now be possible to just use ipmitools to debug the server boot process or to go fix stuff in the single user interactive shell, AND keep the “normal” video output! :)

But keeping this fix private doesn’t help much. I would really love to get this fixed within Debian. So I have sent the patch (which needed a very small rebase) in the Git repository of sysvinit (see http://deb.li/3YxUD). I of course tested it in Sid too. Though I tested only under a Xen virtual machine, I see no reason why it would work there and not elsewhere. That being said, I would welcome more testing, given the high profile of sysvinit (everyone uses/needs it, and I wouldn’t like to carry alone the unhappiness of having no boot log). Please do test it from the sysvinit git, before it’s even uploaded to Sid. Also, these days, sysvinit gets often uploaded to Experimental first. It will probably also be the case for version 2.88dsf-56.

If it works well and nobody complains about the patch, maybe it’d be worth adding it to Wheezy as well (though that decision is of course left to the release team once the fix reaches Jessie).

How can Lintian stop being annoying

June 29, 2014 – 7:59 am

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 upstream, and 2/ I mostly use Git tags from upstream, in which I do check signatures whenever possible (and mostly, if I have upstream’s key in my keyring after a key signing party, which happened a few times). The solution? Well, very easy:

sudo sed -i 's/Disable-Tags:/Disable-Tags: debian-watch-may-check-gpg-signature,/' /usr/share/lintian/profiles/debian/main.profile

There’s nothing more to it! Of course, you can also create your own profile, with the added benefit that your changes wont be overwritten on next upgrade. But that’s overkill if you’re alone in the system, and anyway it’s damned easy to do the changes again, plus I often reinstall this computer from scratch. With the above, you can of course disable the display of any tag you wish.

OpenStack Icehouse bugs all cleaned-up

May 5, 2014 – 5:34 pm

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 added Python 3 support to oslo-config (OpenStack is slowly moving to Python3, and I’ve tried to add support to Python3 in the packages as well each time it was possible). Also, the Icehouse packages have passed the tempest tests (a set of functional tests) which we run in our continuous integration system.

As I was doing some triaging, it is possible that some bugs have been closed a bit quickly (like for example the Ceilometer FTBFS which I couldn’t reproduce, even with sbuild and cowbuilder), so it is well possible that some more QA work will be needed later on. I’m also expecting a new set of patches for supporting Ceph in Nova. I’m sure there’s issues which we will discover later on, however, it is nice to have this result right after the first Icehouse release of OpenStack.

Next up: testing new components that I uploaded for this release: Trove (DB as a Service), Designate (DNS as a Service), Ironic (Metal as a Service, or cloud computing on bare-metal), and TripleO (OpenStack on OpenStack). I unfortunately know already that TripleO and Tuskar wont really work yet, and that it needs some patches to be sent upstream for it to support Debian correctly (let’s work it out for Juno!). So please consider it as a technology preview only. Though Trove, Designate and Ironic are supposed to be in good enough shape, I didn’t have the chance to test them more than just installing the packages and checking daemons are running and connected to the various components of OpenStack (eg: database, keystone and RabbitMQ). Please do test them and report bugs in the BTS.

I’d like to thanks Gustavo Panizzo & Thomas Bechtold who contributed to this release, and also the folks at eNovance (Emilien, Cyril, Seb…) who provided precious help with the CI and package quality. See you in the Juno Atlanta design summit next week (as hopefully, my plane ticket issue will be soon solved).

OpenStack 2014.1, aka Icehouse, is out

April 19, 2014 – 2:55 am

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 packaging work. The new feature list is impressive, and I would like to highlight some part of it:

  • New Ironic bare metal service.
  • New Designate DNS as a Service project.
  • Trove (DB as a Service) graduated from incubation and should work well now.
  • TripleO (OpenStack On OpenStack) is now fully in Debian, together with Tuskar and Tuskar-UI.
  • OpenStack now has VXLAN support through the new version of OVS and kernel >= 3.13. This solves the scalability issues with GRE tunnels.

For the moment, I haven’t packaged Sahara (eg: Hadoop as a service), but it might come later as a customer of us might require it.

There’s a lot less unit tests issues in the packages I uploaded to Sid: all SQLAlchemy issues have been dealt with. I wasn’t confident with the Havana release that Sid / Testing would be a good environment for OpenStack, but this time with Icehouse, I think it should be much better. Please test this brand new release and report issues on the BTS. As always, the packages are available also as Wheezy backports through the usual channels (see the official install guide).
