Rocky Milestone 2 RDO Test Days 14-15 June
by Rain Leander
Who’s up for a rematch?
Rocky Milestone 2 is here and we’re ready to rumble! Join RDO [0] on June
14 &
15 for an awesome time of taking down bugs and fighting errors in the most
recent release [1].
We won’t be pulling any punches.
Want to get in on the action? We’re looking for developers, users,
operators, quality engineers, writers, and, yes, YOU. If you’re reading
this, we think you’re a champion and we want your help!
We’ll have packages for the following platforms:
* RHEL 7
* CentOS 7
You’ll want a fresh install with latest updates installed so that there’s no
hard-to-reproduce interactions with other things.
We’ll be collecting feedback, writing up tickets, filing bugs, and answering
questions.
Even if you only have a few hours to spare, we’d love your help taking this
new version for a spin to work out any kinks. Not only will this help
identify
issues early in the development process, but you can be the one of the first
to cut your teeth on the latest versions of your favorite deployment methods
like TripleO, PackStack, and Kolla.
Interested? We’ll be gathering on #rdo (on Freenode IRC) for any associated
questions / discussions, and working through the “Does it work?” tests [2].
Like Rocky said, “The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows,” but with your
help, we can keep moving forward and make the RDO world better for those
around us. Hope to see you on the 14th & 15th!

CentOS SIG repos are retired everytime when CentOS minor update is released,
and it's up to SIG to declare which of their releases should be retired.
In this case OpenStack Newton was EOLed upstream already Oct 2017:
https://releases.openstack.org/
Old packages are frozen at
http://vault.centos.org/centos/7.4.1708/cloud/x86_64/openstack-newton/
and are NOT receiving any updates, so please do not use them!

Those are only archives of rdo-release RPMs only anyway and we should
probably get rid of that old hosting location in Fedora.
> and I found the build system successful built newton jobs at

Those are available to support Fast Forward Upgrades CI testing from
Newton to Queens, building project which did not push newton-eol tags
yet. Anything else is frozen at Newton EOL point.
Other than for CI, any other usage of those packages is not
recommended, best would be if you could upgrade to the latest RDO
Queens release ASAP.

If you knew Kathy, consider taking a moment to send a note to Tony.
I worked at a number of events with Kathy. She was always kind, and
always very organized, and kept things running smoothly. She'll
definitely be missed.

I think Virtuozzo is based on CentOS.

Dan has already responded. In short, 'qemu-kvm-rhev' is the recommended
RPM for Red Hat OSP.

FYI, a related change that will get shortly pushed to RDO Nova spec (and
to "Queens" branch too):

version of 'qemu-kvm-rhev' & libvirt

Understood, thanks a lot. I think short term our best bet is to provide
qemu-kvm-rhev in our QEMU package indeed.
Thanks,

Yes, that is my understanding as well. It was largely dropped to
little-to-no testing on Fedora. And most testing done on CentOS and
RHEL.

Yep, because the CentOS package is called: 'qemu-kvm-ev'. Also you
(Roman) might want to refer to the following note in the RDO Git/master
'openstack-nova.spec' (the RPM spec):
# NOTE-1: CentOS package is called 'qemu-kvm-ev', but it has a
# compatiblity "Provides: qemu-kvm-rhev", so it'll do the
# right thing, that's why we're not special-casing CentOS
# here.
So, even if you're using CentOS, and are trying to install
'qemu-kvm-rhev', it should do the Right Thing.
