Bringing OpenStack back to Fedora
by Neal Gompa
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

You are correct, I had some stale info or mixed it up with something else.
Here is yum install output on an empty CentOS7 machine:
Installing:
ansible noarch 2.4.3.0-1.el7.ans /ansible-2.4.3.0-1.el7.ans.noarch
Installing for dependencies:
PyYAML x86_64 3.10-11.el7 base
libyaml x86_64 0.1.4-11.el7_0 base
python-babel noarch 0.9.6-8.el7 base
python-cffi x86_64 1.6.0-5.el7 base
python-enum34 noarch 1.0.4-1.el7 base
python-idna noarch 2.4-1.el7 base
python-ipaddress noarch 1.0.16-2.el7 base

sshpass x86_64 1.06-2.el7 extras

My concern is that if those were included in Extras for Ansible, they
would be removed from Extras together with ansible.

Yes, ideally we would be able to get ConfigMgmt SIG going, in the
meantime other SIGs are rebuilding on their own e.g. Virt SIG/oVirt
did 2.4.3 http://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=21591
As a quickfix, we could also temporarily push this to RDO deps repo,
until we have rest of the plan ready.

Yes, above was forward-looking CD world where, given infinite CI
resources, everything is tested pre-commit across collaborating
projects.
Definitely trunk RPMs from devel branch are the step in that
direction, progression scale is:
no testing, push the latest release, hope for the best -> CI with
latest release -> CI with devel branch -> CI pre-commit

How to add new packages?
by Sam P
Hi all,
I am Sampath Priyankara and NEW to RDO. I work for NTT and the current PTL
for OpenStack Masakari project [1].
Recently, some of Masakari users asked me for RPM packages. It seems to me
that, adding them to RDO is the correct way to proceed. I did a quick
survey on
how to add masakari components [2] to RDO, but couldn't find any doc or
useful
information on how to do that.
Any link or information regarding to this would be highly appreciated.
