Re: [rdo-dev] Bringing OpenStack back to Fedora

Hey all, It's been several years since OpenStack has been part of the Fedora distribution. Since then, a number of things have changed. Some of the major ones: * Python packaging has gotten better and easier in Fedora (the changes are numerous) * RDO now has Software Factory and full-range CI capabilities * Fedora has CI hook support for packaging (with the transition to Pagure dist-git) * OpenStack and Fedora schedules line up again: https://releases.openstack.org/ In my view, it's a huge shame that we don't offer OpenStack for people to use on Fedora, integrated with the latest software. OpenStack distribution on other distros are able to pull this off, and I feel like we should be able to as well. So what I want to know is the following: * What are the (real or perceived) difficulties in packaging OpenStack for Fedora? * How difficult would it be to adapt RDO CI tooling to plug into Fedora Dist-Git? * How many of the underlying dependencies exist in Fedora today that were forked into CentOS for RDO and which ones? * What dependencies are in RDO that don't exist in Fedora? I'm willing to help with a lot of the packaging stuff, including adapting packages for Fedora, and helping with reviews to bring stuff back in. I firmly believe that maintenance of OpenStack in Fedora should be far easier than it was three years ago, when it was ripped out.

So help me... Help you! Best regards, Neal -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev(a)lists.rdoproject.org http://lists.rdoproject.org/mailman/listinfo/dev To unsubscribe: dev-unsubscribe(a)lists.rdoproject.org
