whoami-rajatwe discussed this last week but a lot of team members weren't around14:04
whoami-rajatso bringing it up again today14:04
whoami-rajatthere are 2 dates that I've selected for midcycles14:04
whoami-rajatMidcycle 1 : Wednesday 6th December 2023 (1400-1600 UTC)14:04
whoami-rajatMidcycle 2 : Wednesday 14th February 2024 (1400-1600 UTC)14:04
whoami-rajatlet me know if there is any conflict with any major event on the following date and time14:05
whoami-rajatand also you can check other dates14:06
whoami-rajatI've tried to avoid dates closer to end of the year14:06
rosmaitaDec 6 is a holiday in Finland and Spain14:06
whoami-rajatsince a lot of team members aren't around that time14:06
whoami-rajatoh i remember that you mentioned it ...14:07
whoami-rajati can change it to 13 December, which is 1 week before spec freeze14:07
whoami-rajati don't see any deadline on R-16 week14:07
simondodsleyShowing some love for OpenStack for Midcycle 214:08
rosmaita13 december looks clear, but 6 would be better ... we need to check with Gorka about whether he is taking the 6th off or not14:08
rosmaitasimondodsley: everybody loves cinder!14:09
whoami-rajati was planning Midcycles 2 weeks prior to some deadlines, didn't realize it fell on a perfect date!14:10
whoami-rajatrosmaita, i will take a note to ask him when he's back14:10
whoami-rajatokay moving on14:12
whoami-rajatnext, pep 51714:12
whoami-rajat#link https://lists.openstack.org/archives/list/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org/thread/HVFN5RBSHRTM3B2UUKPAWKH6H6AT6CYR/14:12
whoami-rajat(the links were much shorter in the previous archive list)14:13
whoami-rajati don't know a lot about the install process but from what i understand, usage of setup.py has been deprecated and will removed in pip 23.114:14
whoami-rajatin favor of pyproject.toml files14:14
whoami-rajatSean Mooney has proposed a patch for cinder and other projects to have a minimal pyproject.toml file14:14
whoami-rajat#link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/89995214:14
whoami-rajati don't know if this is discussed and approved by TC to be an openstack wide thing14:15
whoami-rajatalso the cinder patch is failing gate currently14:15
simondodsleyit's not that difficult of a change, especially as the `setup.py` we have in cinder is so minimal14:15
whoami-rajatso I'm not sure what we should do as of now14:15
whoami-rajatyeah, it only has a constraint of pbr and the version looks pretty old14:17
whoami-rajatI just want to make sure if this is the approach we are going with openstack wide14:17
simondodsleyi think the suggested patch could have some additional `[project]` info in there14:17
simondodsleyi also wonder if `pbr` should be `6.0.0`14:18
rosmaitathat functional-py39 job that jon bernard flagged -- the error looks like what i thought this patch was supposed to address14:19
whoami-rajatpbr 6.0.0 released today so that might be the reason the patch has old version14:19
simondodsleyactually our `requirements.txt` states `>=5.8.0` 14:20
rosmaitawell, in the gates, we'll be most likely using whatever upper-constraints allows14:20
simondodsleyis `pbr` even mentioned in the upper-constraints?14:21
simondodsleyso this all become moot anyway14:21
rosmaitapbr===6.0.014:21
simondodsleywell that answers that14:22
rosmaitai can follow up on this if no one else is interested14:22
simondodsleywe should get the all the pyproject patches to reflect 6.0.0 IMHO14:22
whoami-rajatrosmaita, do you mean for cinder or openstack wide?14:23
rosmaitahmmm ... i guess both14:24
rosmaitai was originally thinking cinder-only14:24
whoami-rajatok, i can help out with the cinder part though i don't understand the pep517 completely14:24
whoami-rajatyeah first we can address the cinder issue14:24
simondodsleyJust get Sean to update all his patches, but we should also fix our requirements14:24
whoami-rajatbut again, my idea was to only merge it in cinder if it's going to be an openstack wide thing14:25
simondodsleywell it has to be done14:25
rosmaitai haven't actually read through that email thread yet, will do that after the meeting14:26
rosmaitabut i think simondodsley is right, it needs to be done soon-ish14:26
whoami-rajatsimondodsley, there are different solutions proposed by Sean in his original mail and i still haven't seen any acceptance on a particular one14:26
simondodsleyi'll read the thread again - it was very long...14:27
whoami-rajatwe can keep an eye on the thread for updates, i just wanted to raise some awareness that this is something that might affect our project as well14:31
whoami-rajatwith that, let's move on to next announcement14:31
whoami-rajatnext, Call for Writers or OpenInfra Live Participants14:31
whoami-rajat#link https://lists.openstack.org/archives/list/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org/thread/QEE7O3A3DWIX2P57G75OCB3GMUPLQPOY/14:31
whoami-rajatTBH, i have never participated in this but if you want details, refer to the mail or Contact @kbarrientos:matrix.org14:32
whoami-rajatthe general idea here is if you have any topic for the openinfra live, please write to Kristin14:33
whoami-rajatnext, [docs] Encourage search engines to show newest version of OpenStack docs first14:33
whoami-rajat#link https://lists.openstack.org/archives/list/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org/thread/Q3AJ5C54IZSGBJ76JTVXTWVTFNXDRD7N/14:33
whoami-rajatI've faced this many times and finally someone wrote it on the ML14:34
whoami-rajatwhenever I try to search for any doc, its usually the older release versions that show up, pike, queens etc and rarely the latest one14:34
whoami-rajatso i end up replacing <release_name> -> latest which works but it's little inconvenient 14:34
whoami-rajatthere were 2 solutions proposed14:35
whoami-rajat1. Prevent Google from indexing the older versions by using `noindex`: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/block-indexing14:35
whoami-rajati don't know if we can do something about this since it needs to be included in the html meta tag itself14:35
whoami-rajat2. Removing old documentation so it is flushed from Google14:35
whoami-rajatthis one i didn't like because a lot of deployments are running on older releases14:36
whoami-rajatand they might want to refer to info specific for their release14:36
whoami-rajatthe latest docs info might not be relevant for them14:36
whoami-rajatanyway, i wasn't looking for any discussion around this, just wanted to mention this since i felt others might have bumped into the same issue14:37
whoami-rajatthat's all the announcements from my side14:37
whoami-rajatanyone has anything else to announce?14:37
simondodsleyi agree that the old docs are an issue.14:37
simondodsleynoindex is probbaly the best of the terrible solutions available14:38
whoami-rajat+114:38
whoami-rajatlooks like that was all for announcements14:39
whoami-rajatlet's move to topics14:39
whoami-rajat#topic Increase size of volume image metadata values14:39
whoami-rajatdrencrom, that's you14:39
whoami-rajat#link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/86848514:40
whoami-rajatthis is the discussion summary from the PTG regarding this14:40
drencromHi, I just wanted to know it this topic was discussed during the PTG14:40
whoami-rajat#link https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/CinderCaracalPTGSummary#Image_Metadata_in_Cinder.2C_Nova.2C_and_Glance14:40
rosmaitayes, it was14:41
rosmaitaand that reminds me that i had the action item to send something to the ML about this14:41
drencromOk, so I'll follow in the ML then14:42
rosmaitathe tl;dr is that we do not want to allow metadata values that long14:42
drencromOk, that might be a problem for the people that is currently using large metadata vaues14:43
rosmaitaand like sean pointed out on the review (i think), nova just disregards them anyway14:43
rosmaitadrencrom: you are correct, we don't want to unnecesarily break people14:44
whoami-rajatyeah we need to be consistent about this else there might be loss of metadata values when these properties are send/received between different projects14:44
drencromI think the easy path is to ignore them in nova and document that, but the IO issue is harder to solve without breaking things14:45
whoami-rajatso we can follow up on this on the ML14:48
whoami-rajatand raise concerns there to see what other teams (glance, nova) thinks14:49
rosmaitai'll try to get the email out in the next day or so14:49
drencromthanks rosmaita14:50
whoami-rajatgreat, thanks rosmaita 14:50
whoami-rajatnext topic14:50
whoami-rajat#topic Review priorities for M-1 (November 16, 2023)14:50
whoami-rajatnext week is M-1 and we targeted 2 things for it that we should prioritize14:50
rosmaitadrencrom: please bug me in #openstack-cinder if you don't see something by 1500 UTC on friday14:50
whoami-rajat1. SqlAlchemy 2.0 support14:51
whoami-rajat#link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/88703214:51
whoami-rajatit's not a single patch change but a series if you look on the right side in Relation Chain14:51
whoami-rajatideally we should get all patches in but merging till "Add job to test with SQLAlchemy master (2.x)" should address the 2.0 issues14:52
whoami-rajatwhich in total are 4 patches14:52
whoami-rajatso request everyone to please take a look and review on priority14:53
whoami-rajat2. NFS extend in-use volume support spec14:54
whoami-rajat#link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder-specs/+/89601414:54
whoami-rajatI reviewed the change again and it still makes sense to do14:54
whoami-rajatremember it's not only fixing the extend in-use problem for generic nfs but all vendors inheriting from it14:54
whoami-rajatthe use case was mainly for netapp nfs but dell nfs should also benefit from it14:55
whoami-rajatit's a reproposal so should be pretty quick to review it14:55
whoami-rajatthere are additions to the testing part which is good14:55
whoami-rajatthat's all for the topics14:56
whoami-rajatlet's quickly go through review requests14:56
whoami-rajat#topic review requests14:56
whoami-rajatin the PTG, we discussed about this and since the last meeting we came up with a structure that should be followed for review requests14:56
whoami-rajatStructure:14:56
whoami-rajatOne author should only add one patch for review14:56
whoami-rajatThe patch should be based on the approaching deadling (M1, M2, M3 etc)14:56
whoami-rajatThere should be a comment explaining the patch being added14:56
whoami-rajathope that helps reviewers focus on only the important patches14:57
whoami-rajatwe have 2 review requests this week14:57
whoami-rajat1. HPE 3par: Unable to create clone of replicated vol14:57
whoami-rajat#link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/88459414:57
whoami-rajati think this was also a RC2 request which didn't make it14:58
whoami-rajatso good to review14:58
whoami-rajat2. [Hitachi] Fix exception when deleted volume is busy14:58
whoami-rajat#link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/88598614:58
whoami-rajatthis was also part of the RC2 targets last cycle14:59
whoami-rajatalready has a +2 from me14:59
whoami-rajatso other reviewers can take a look14:59
whoami-rajatwe are out of time15:00
