16:01:48 <openstack> The meeting name has been set to 'nova'
16:01:50 <gibi> I'm a bit late
16:01:53 <gibi> sorry
16:02:08 * bauzas runs into this meeting as a 3rd one for the afternoon...
16:02:13 <gibi> downstream bughunting took my day
16:02:16 <dansmith> o/ (but double booked)
16:02:18 <stephenfin> o/
16:02:24 <stephenfin> (also double booked)
16:02:31 <elod> o/
16:02:55 <gibi> dansmith, stephenfin: is it a permanent double book? should we change the meeting time?
16:03:00 <dansmith> no
16:03:17 <dansmith> I mean in practice I'm always double booked, but.. no :)
16:03:34 <stephenfin> no, just for the next month or two and I can manage (student mentoring meeting)
16:03:48 <gibi> OK, thanks
16:04:09 <gibi> #topic Bugs (stuck/critical)
16:04:21 <gibi> no critical bug
16:04:26 <gibi> #link 14 new untriaged bugs (+2 since the last meeting): #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bugs?search=Search&field.status=New
16:04:42 <gibi> is there any specific bug we need to talk about?
16:06:31 <gibi> #topic Gate status
16:06:31 <gibi> gate on master feels OK to me
16:06:31 <gibi> at least things got merged during the week
16:06:31 <gibi> any gate issue we need to discuss today?
16:07:10 <dansmith> lots of fails lately
16:07:18 <dansmith> mostly cinder, nothing nova related that I've seen
16:07:27 <dansmith> talked about it in the TC and glance meetings today already
16:07:37 <dansmith> but nothing specifically critical that I know of
16:07:54 <dansmith> load is certainly up with the milestone approaching
16:08:19 <gibi> thanks
16:08:28 <gibi> the load is noticable yes
16:08:53 <bauzas> yup
16:09:02 <bauzas> but just longer
16:09:30 <gibi> moving on
16:09:31 <gibi> #topic Runway status
16:09:42 <gibi> we have some good news
16:09:48 <gibi> #link https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:bp/routed-networks-scheduling : merged \o/
16:09:52 <gibi> #link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/libvirt-driver-ip-metadata : merged \o/
16:09:56 <gibi> #link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/support-interface-attach-with-qos-ports : the last necessary patch merged \o/ some cleanup patches are open
16:10:25 <gibi> and there are a list of things that are close
16:10:32 <gibi> #link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/nova-support-webvnc-with-password-anthentication : stephenfin's and melwit's comments has been resolved so needs re-review
16:10:36 <gibi> #link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/compact-db-migrations-wallaby : nova_api db patches needs a second core, I see bauzas started on it
16:10:41 <gibi> #link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/modernize-os-hypervisors-api : the api code landed, the python-novaclient patch and the policy patch needs some work
16:10:43 <bauzas> yup
16:10:46 <gibi> #link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/libvirt-default-machine-type : has some negative review
16:10:50 <gibi> #link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/allow-disabling-cpu-flags : good progress, but there is an open discussion in the review about a config option
16:10:53 <stephenfin> i have that password auth one open
16:10:54 <gibi> #link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/hyperv-rbd : there was os-brick min version conflict so it is bounced from the gate. Needs second core to try again
16:10:58 <gibi> #link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/smarter-usb-devices : needs a second core on the last patch
16:11:02 <gibi> #link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/pci-socket-affinity : the bottom of the series needs a second core (gibi will look at it), the top of the series has some negative review
16:11:07 <gibi> stephenfin: thanks
16:11:20 <gibi> stephenfin: let me know if the auth thing is settled and then I will do a re-review
16:11:22 <bauzas> I'll review the smarter usb ones
16:11:27 <bauzas> one*
16:11:34 <gibi> bauzas: cool, that is only one patch and not even complex
16:11:39 <bauzas> (on Monday tho, tomorrow on PTO)
16:11:44 <gibi> ack
16:12:11 <gibi> bauzas: I also saw you started on the api_db compaction as a second core, thanks for that
16:12:33 <bauzas> easier than the cell db indeed
16:13:04 <gibi> is ther any patch series that are close to be merged but I missed from the above list?
16:14:25 <gibi> #topic Release Planning
16:14:34 <gibi> Feature Freeze is at 11th of March, in 2 weeks from now
16:14:43 <gibi> We finished 4 and deferred 1 blueprints out of the 20 approved bp so far.
16:15:00 <gibi> I expect a big push in the next to weeks to merge some of the features from the above list
16:15:10 <gibi> s/to/two/
16:16:01 <gibi> is there any other release specific thing to discuss?
16:16:18 <stephenfin> not from me
16:16:56 <stephenfin> actually
16:17:02 <stephenfin> https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/allow-disabling-cpu-flags : good progress, but there is an open discussion in the review about a config option
16:17:08 <stephenfin> do we have quorum to figure that out here?
16:17:09 <bauzas> just sayin' I started to rework on the compute RPC API bump
16:18:31 <gibi> stephenfin: good point but I think kashyap is not here
16:18:50 <stephenfin> Good point. Let's bring it up next week
16:19:25 <gibi> bauzas: ack, let me know if I can help you somehow
16:19:44 * bauzas will roll eyes over dansmith next week
16:20:05 * gibi can help with rolling eyes
16:20:11 <gibi> moving on
16:20:12 <gibi> #topic Stable Branches
16:20:23 <gibi> copying elod's update from the agenda
16:20:28 <gibi> stable branches should be OK in general (there were some gate failures yesterday, though)
16:20:32 <gibi> no next stable release planned yet
16:20:35 <gibi> so nothing special...
16:20:36 <gibi> EOM
16:21:09 <gibi> elod, lyarwood: what is a good point doing the next round of stable releases? is it around FF?
16:21:28 <bauzas> lyarwood is on PTO AFAIK
16:21:32 <gibi> ohh
16:21:43 <gibi> OK, then never mind, I will bring this up next week
16:21:44 <elod> we had one round of releases a couple of weeks ago,
16:22:02 <bauzas> maybe we could release around RC1 ?
16:22:12 <elod> train will go to Extended Maintenance in May,
16:22:23 <elod> so before that it would be good to have something
16:22:33 <elod> as I saw some patches merged
16:22:38 <gibi> bauzas: yeah, I'm wondering if there is a need to sync stable release to the master FF and RC process
16:22:42 <elod> maybe sooner,
16:22:46 <tosky> I'm just a guest around here, but in cinder it depends also on the amount of patches merged
16:22:54 <elod> RC1 should be OK, maybe, yes
16:23:14 <gibi> OK, lets plan that around RC1 then and I will consult lyarwood as well next week
16:23:23 <gibi> tosky: sure, if there is nothing to release then we wont :)
16:23:28 <bauzas> gibi: RC1 is a good period of churn because we can backport things after FF and before we put the oldest release into EM
16:23:41 <gibi> bauzas: ack, make sense
16:23:59 <elod> there are patches, even in Train, so maybe it'll worth to release :)
16:24:06 <gibi> is there anything else for stable?
16:24:15 <bauzas> my employer cares of Train
16:24:18 <bauzas> so, yes please
16:25:33 <elod> bauzas: ack :)
16:25:34 <gibi> OK, moving on
16:25:34 <gibi> #topic Sub/related team Highlights
16:25:34 <gibi> Libvirt (bauzas)
16:25:52 <bauzas> nothing to report
16:26:11 <gibi> ack
16:26:15 <gibi> #topic Open discussion
16:26:26 <gibi> nothing on the agenda. Is there something to discuss?
16:27:08 <tosky> I know you haven't forgotten about that, but from time to time I need to remind you about the remaining zuulv3 tasks :)
16:27:29 <gibi> tosky: thanks for the reminder
16:28:52 <gibi> anything else?
16:30:28 <gibi> OK, if nothing else then I won't keep you here
16:30:39 <gibi> thanks for joining
