fungihttps://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/2142042 had its nova bugtask switched from incomplete to expired today by "launchpad janitor" for having no new activity in the past 60 days. it's the first time i've seen that happen to an openstack project's bug...13:55
fungidid a new lp setting get turned on for no9va bugs, or has it always done this and i've somehow never spotted it happening before?13:55
sean-k-mooneyfungi: that used to be a thing13:56
sean-k-mooneybut i have not seen that in a very very long time13:56
sean-k-mooneyfungi: i remember this being a thing 10 years ago13:56
fungiokay, so maybe i'd forgotten about it and it recently got reapplied, or something on the lp side was broken for a long time and has finally been fixed13:57
sean-k-mooneybut we made sure the expiray was turned off13:57
sean-k-mooneyya but i dont think it is intentional13:57
sean-k-mooneyok its checked in the bug config13:58
sean-k-mooneylet me uncheck it quickly until we have time to dicuss it13:58
sean-k-mooneyoh os its actully confire to only expire incomplete bugs currently13:58
sean-k-mooneynot any open bug13:58
sean-k-mooneyfungi: not sure if you can see https://launchpad.net/nova/+configure-bugtracker13:59
sean-k-mooneyi just uncheck the  Expire "Incomplete" bug reports when they become inactive13:59
fungiadvanced search for nova bugs in expired state sorted by number turns up one that got expired on the 13th too13:59
sean-k-mooneybox13:59
sean-k-mooneythe nova irc meeting is in a few hours let just add this to opendicuss14:00
sean-k-mooneyand we can fiture out if we want it on or off14:00
sean-k-mooneythere doesnet seam to be any indication fo what "becomes inactive" actully means14:00
sean-k-mooneyi.e. is it weeks or years14:00
fungii don't have access to that by default (though i could get to it by adding myself to the right group) so will take your word for it14:00
sean-k-mooneyits set for cybrog and watcher as well14:02
fungilooks like it's 60 days with no activity while in "incomplete" state, at least (not sure about what other states also trigger it, sll the examples i found so far are for previously-incomplete)14:02
sean-k-mooneythis might be on by default14:02
fungiokay, so it might be that it's on for a bunch of projects and i've just somehow not noticed it before today14:03
sean-k-mooneyif its resticted to the incompelte state i might be ok with this on. i dont like exiring bugs in general but we only use incomplete when we are missing info14:03
fungiyeah, i mean the example i linked above was perfectly fine to expire, consensus seemed to be that it was likely invalid anyway14:04
fungianyway, not an emergency, i just wanted to make sure behavior hadn't changed somewhere, but looke like it may have been doing this all along14:05
sean-k-mooneyit might have14:08
sean-k-mooneyi.e. i dont recall seeing this in a very very long time14:08
sean-k-mooneyin anycase added to opendicuss https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/Nova#Agenda_for_next_meeting14:08
sean-k-mooneyfungi: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/2142042 was invlide by the way and not a secuirty bug14:09
sean-k-mooneywe only supprot pci passhtough vai the pci_alias14:09
sean-k-mooneywe have never allowed attaching pci devices via the resouce: syntax14:10
sean-k-mooneythe only thing that ever allwoe dthat was generic mdevs and i have alwasy held that was a mistake14:10
fungiyeah, that's why i say it was fine that it expired14:11
sean-k-mooneyim going to leave a comment and mark it invlaid14:11

jayaanandhi All, i created blueprint as per PTG discussion https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/raw-image-flexclone-optimization. Please review17:18
sean-k-mooneyso you have create a bluepitn with the conte of a spec as its decription17:20
sean-k-mooneybut you actully need to submit that spec as a review to the nova-specs repo17:20
sean-k-mooneythe describe in the plurpint shoudl jsut be the intorduction fo the spec17:20
sean-k-mooneyso you need to clone https://github.com/openstack/nova-specs17:21
sean-k-mooneyand then add your spec in teh approved folder for this cycle 2026.217:21
sean-k-mooneyand then submit it for review via gerrit17:21
sean-k-mooneyyou can use the contet you currently have in teh blueprint. by convention the file name shoudl mattch the blurpint name with .rst17:22
sean-k-mooneyso raw-image-flexclone-optimization.rst17:22
sean-k-mooneywe have some tooling that use that to forralate the spec file and the blueprint17:22
sean-k-mooneyjayaanand: just siming it im not sure that the current direction is correct. i.e. wrapping flat with now new config value for NetAppFlexClone17:24
sean-k-mooneywell hte netap variant17:24
sean-k-mooneyi think images_type=netapp_flexcloen give you are propsoing addign a  [netapp_flexclone] config section woudl be a much more natural fit17:26
sean-k-mooneywith all that said i dont think there was an general agreement that we shoudl add a vendor sepcifc image_type backend to nova17:27
sean-k-mooneyso you will have to build a concentio that that shoudl be doen before we go into the details of how17:28
sean-k-mooneyjayaanand: the vendor specific point we raised cant be sidespte by adding a spereat vendor specific cofnig option like  netapp_flexclone_enabled = false17:29
sean-k-mooneyanyeya i can take a looks once its actully submited for review as a spec but i likely cant commit to reviewign this this cycle so you will need to find concnsoue to build this functionalty in general.17:32
