[rdo-list] RabbitMQ version in RDO

Hi everyone, I'm wondering what is the current status on the supporting packages for OpenStack in RDO and how they are handled? I personally think it's really nice that everything comes packaged from one repository and we don't have to go to upstream (in the exception of -ev packages). In this case, I'm wondering if it is possible to get a newer version of RabbitMQ in the Mitaka RDO repos, the reason behind this is that there is a bug affecting us which results in RabbitMQ nodes crashing. The details of the bug are here: https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-management/issues/245 This issue is resolved in 3.6.4, but 3.6.2 is what is included in the RDO repos. We could just start using the upstream packages however I think it's far more productive for everyone in the community to have updated packages so they don't run into the same surprises that we ran into and RDO maintains a working out-of-the-box set of packages for OpenStack without having to resort to other package sources. I guess all this summarizes to two questions: What's the policy on the supporting packages in OpenStack and could we work to get an update RabbitMQ version? Thanks! Mohammed -- Mohammed Naser
