I'm not sure if there is a ETA for it. Adding Martin to CC, he may have some
estimation for it.
There is absolutely no chance this patch [1] merges into kolla as it. It's a very
ugly hack where I'm basically swapping the centos binary distro to be based on
fedora:28. The idea was to prove feasibility and for you to have a patch you can pull in
your build pipeline that allowed you to build fedora:28 based images. Integrating fedora
based images in kolla properly would require a lot more work, and that's not really
something I'm keen to do since it would send the wrong message that kolla supports
fedora base.
Does it sound reasonable?
That might work for a first PoC iteration, at the same time we need a
complete solution using a pattern you can see in Fedora packaging:
%if 0%{?fedora} || 0%{?rhel} >= 8
i.e. Kolla and other upstream projects need to start preparing for
real using Fedora based packages, taking into account that next RHEL
is based on current Fedora and in before Beta most of the changes are
done directly in Fedora then imported internally. Waiting for CentOS 8
will be too late since it will come out only after RHEL GA,
historically there weren't CentOS Betas.
