16:05:44 <bauzas> #info Please look at the gate failures and file a bug report with the gate-failure tag.
16:06:13 <bauzas> all the periodics are green (except again nova-emulation for stable/zed but meh)
16:06:17 <dansmith> we just merged the 8g swap change for nova-lvm which will help
16:06:24 <bauzas> cool to know
16:06:29 <dansmith> been a lot of nova-lvm fails lately
16:06:56 <Uggla> o/
16:07:18 <bauzas> I also saw (again) some guest kernel issues
16:07:39 <bauzas> (for bfv instances resized)
16:07:47 <bauzas> but... meh
16:07:55 <bauzas> moving on
16:07:57 <bauzas> #topic Release Planning
16:08:01 <bauzas> #link https://releases.openstack.org/caracal/schedule.html#nova
16:08:07 <bauzas> #info Caracal-3 (and feature freeze) milestone in 1 week
16:08:13 <bauzas> yeah, next Thursday
16:08:23 <bauzas> tick-tock again
16:08:31 <bauzas> #topic Review priorities
16:08:35 <bauzas> #link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-caracal-status
16:08:41 <bauzas> #topic Stable Branches
16:08:47 <bauzas> elodilles: anything you want to discuss ?
16:09:16 <elodilles> #info stable/2023.* gates don't seem blocked (though non-voting grenade-skip-level is broken, probably due to stable -> unmaintained yoga branch)
16:09:30 <elodilles> * for 2023.1
16:09:37 <elodilles> #info stable/zed gate is broken, as nova-grenade-multinode started failing (probably due to stable -> unmaintained yoga branch)
16:09:54 <bauzas> :)
16:10:09 <elodilles> i'm investigating this, but might be easier to set nova-grenade-multinode non-voting for now
16:10:18 <bauzas> I don't have time for looking at it unfortunately
16:10:22 <bauzas> but yeah
16:10:25 <elodilles> until i figure out where to patch the job ;)
16:10:47 <elodilles> so that gate will be unblocked
16:10:51 <elodilles> opinions?
16:12:24 <elodilles> anyway, we can track things here:
16:12:27 <elodilles> #info stable branch status / gate failures tracking etherpad: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-stable-branch-ci
16:13:34 <bauzas> ++
16:13:54 <elodilles> (i know the timing isn't best: one week before Feature Freeze...)
16:15:47 <elodilles> (and that's all from me)
16:15:49 <bauzas> ok, can we move to the next topic ?
16:15:51 <sean-k-mooney> elodilles: is it possibel teh failure is a real upgrade issue
16:15:52 <bauzas> cool
16:16:06 <bauzas> #topic vmwareapi 3rd-party CI efforts Highlights
16:16:10 <bauzas> fwiesel: anything to tell ?
16:16:13 <fwiesel> #info Possible solution to bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/2053027) proposed.
16:16:33 <elodilles> sean-k-mooney: could be, though i'd give it really low probability o:)
16:16:38 <fwiesel> So, after a long time I found the culprit... Now I just have to find an acceptable solution.
16:16:56 <fwiesel> #info Regression in the CI setup (FIPs not working outside of routers network namespace).
16:17:16 <fwiesel> I hope, I can work that out quickly.
16:17:25 <fwiesel> #info Proposed with regression above leaves us with a tempest result of (Passed: 435, Failed: 41, Skipped: 42)
16:17:42 <fwiesel> So, still progress. Down from 200-something failures.
16:18:04 <bauzas> ++
16:18:12 <fwiesel> There are also some tests still in, which need to get blacklisted, like the iSCSI attachment tests. But first, FIPs.
16:18:22 <fwiesel> Questions?
16:18:27 <bauzas> none from me
16:18:30 <bauzas> anyone else ?
16:18:55 <fwiesel> How does it look then with the feature freeze and the vmware driver?
16:19:21 <bauzas> feature freeze is only for blueprints
16:19:35 <bauzas> if you have bugfixes, we can merge them until RC1
16:19:36 <fwiesel> Ah great... that gives us a bit more time.
16:20:00 <bauzas> fwiesel: you probably don't know, but at RC1, we git branch from master
16:20:39 <bauzas> so, then after RC1 tag, the master branch is then related to Dalmatian
16:20:58 <bauzas> every change we merge after RC1 is then a Dalmatian one
16:21:44 <bauzas> if we want to fix Caracal before GA, then we need to fix the bug in master (Dalmatian) and then backport it to the Caracal stable branch... but only if this is a regression from that release
16:22:06 <fwiesel> And if it is a regression from yoga? :)
16:22:16 <fwiesel> I mean xena.
16:22:32 <bauzas> so say you add a fix, we could merge it before or after RC1, but we wouldn't be able to backport it to Caracal and Bobcat only after Caracal GA
16:22:49 <bauzas> (that's just a 2-week time)
16:22:56 <bauzas> (3 weeks actually)
16:22:59 <fwiesel> I see. I'll keep that in mind. I don't think we are in that a hurry.
16:23:29 <bauzas> fwiesel: fwiw, you could only backport the fix down to Zed
16:23:50 <bauzas> https://releases.openstack.org/
16:24:02 <fwiesel> Fine by me. We are targeting bobcat as the next release.
16:24:09 <fwiesel> (Internally)
16:24:32 <bauzas> elodilles: do you know when eventually all the EM branches will become Umaintained ?
16:24:53 <elodilles> in the coming weeks i'll propose transition branches for them
16:25:08 <bauzas> ok
16:25:25 <fwiesel> Well, that's from my side then.
16:25:26 <elodilles> since Yoga became EOM in the past days officially
16:26:15 <bauzas> yeah, it would look bizarre to backport to Zed and then punt Yoga by directly backporting to Xena
16:26:23 <elodilles> (and Zed will transition from May 2nd, 2024)
16:26:49 <bauzas> ok, anyway I think we're done
16:26:58 <bauzas> elodilles: thanks for replying
16:27:02 <bauzas> and thanks fwiesel
16:27:13 <bauzas> #topic Open discussion
