16:30:34 <tjones> hi anyone here today?
16:30:45 <stratuspaulg> hi, tjones, I'm new here.
16:30:53 <tjones> welcome stratuspaulg
16:30:59 <stratuspaulg> Thanks!
16:31:16 <stratuspaulg> I'm here to lobby to get the following bug fixed:
16:31:17 <stratuspaulg> https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1239864
16:31:18 <wendar_> o/
16:31:30 <yjiang5> o/
16:31:55 <stratuspaulg> or at least assigned.
16:32:39 <tjones> ok lets start with that bug then today
16:32:41 <tjones> #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1239864
16:33:16 <stratuspaulg> thank you
16:33:32 <tjones> stratuspaulg:  you have a patch for this ??
16:33:40 <stratuspaulg> yes, it is attached to the bug report
16:33:52 <stratuspaulg> we have tested the patch on Havana and Icehouse and it works for both
16:34:09 <tjones> why not push upstream?
16:34:34 <tjones> i mean you've already done the work, why not get the credit?
16:34:37 <stratuspaulg> Good question. I'm new at all this. And I don't grok Python, so I'm reluctant to push something I don't understand.
16:35:28 <stratuspaulg> I'm assuming there is no CI test for Zookeeper, or it would be obvious that ZK is broken.
16:35:34 <tjones> ok anyone here familiar with zookeeper?
16:35:38 <stratuspaulg> so that's another risk.
16:35:42 <wendar> stratuspaulg: well, the nice thing about review is it won't go in without several people looking at it who do know the code
16:35:50 <stratuspaulg> wendear: good to know
16:36:23 <wendar> and, you'll have an opportunity to respond to comments, and even upload revised versions of the patch if you need to
16:36:30 <tjones> stratuspaulg: the process is that you publish a patch and several people review it - including people who are familar with the area (core reviewers). Only until 2 of them approve does it get merged
16:37:01 <stratuspaulg> so I should take a deep breath and push it? I feel dumb asking, but those steps are presumably documented on the wiki.
16:37:06 <tjones> you would need to get it into juno and then propose a backport to icehouse.  I think havana is done now so thats as far back as you could go
16:37:17 <tjones> yes it's on a wiki - just a sec
16:37:18 <stratuspaulg> tjones: ok
16:37:41 <stratuspaulg> we don't need it in Havana. We would like it in Icehouse.
16:37:48 <stratuspaulg> June first makes sense.
16:37:56 <wendar> and, if you run into any questions from the wiki, we're around on #openstack-dev to answer
16:37:59 <stratuspaulg> Is the process similar for adding a CI test?
16:38:12 <stratuspaulg> wendar: beautiful!
16:38:26 <tjones> still looking
16:38:53 <tjones> wendar: do you happen to know here the processes is documented?  I just can find this one https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Gerrit_Workflow
16:39:06 <wendar> tjones: that would be the one
16:39:44 <wendar> you may also find this one helpful: http://www.joinfu.com/2014/01/understanding-the-openstack-ci-system/
16:39:45 <tjones> stratuspaulg: it's such a small patch - it will be a good experience to do it ;-)
16:39:49 <stratuspaulg> OK, I'll read up and it and give it a whirl. Many thanks to all of you. I'll notify openstack-dev if I have problems/questions.
16:40:04 <stratuspaulg> tjones: sure. indeed.
16:40:17 <tjones> stratuspaulg: good luck!
16:40:19 <stratuspaulg> wendar: thanks
16:40:21 <tjones> ok moving on
16:40:41 <tjones> so i have already done the tagging and thought we could do something different this time
16:40:54 <tjones> sorry for the long link -
16:40:55 <tjones> https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bugs?field.searchtext=&orderby=-importance&search=Search&field.status%3Alist=NEW&assignee_option=any&field.assignee=&field.bug_reporter=&field.bug_commenter=&field.subscriber=&field.structural_subscriber=&field.tag=&field.tags_combinator=ANY&field.has_cve.used=&field.omit_dupes.used=&field.omit_dupes=on&field.affects_me.used=&field.has_patch.used=&field.has_branches.used=&field.has_bran
16:41:07 <tjones> this is the untriaged list
16:41:37 <wendar> ah, good idea
16:42:04 <tjones> there are 182 bugs here - so we will just scratch the serface
16:42:09 <tjones> or surface
16:42:21 <wendar> any progress is good
16:42:26 <tjones> #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1311778
16:43:07 <tjones> this one is marked critical by sdague
16:44:27 <tjones> im not sure there is much to do done based on mridem's analysis.  thoughts?
16:45:06 <wendar> ISTR, they're working on it, and it is about slow VMs
16:45:11 <tjones> the possiblity of masking a big issue makes me reluctant to just punt on  it though
16:45:25 <wendar> so, I don't think there's much we can do at the moment
16:45:44 <wendar> I'm tempted to assign it to sdague, since he marked it critical
16:45:51 <tjones> heh
16:45:53 <wendar> but, should probably talk to him first
16:46:09 <tjones> sdague: you want to take https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1311778 on??
16:46:32 <tjones> ok lets move on
16:46:45 <tjones> #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1291471
16:47:58 <tjones> this is on havana
16:48:05 <tjones> does not happen on icehouse
16:48:45 <wendar> should it be tagged for possible backport?
16:48:57 <wendar> Incomplete seems appropriate, still.
16:49:01 <tjones> wonder if it could be backported
16:49:20 <tjones> because they are asking for more cinder logs?
16:50:47 <wendar> wasn't able to retest on Icehouse, and yes, last entry was a request for more information
16:51:04 <tjones> ok asked for the logs again and moved to incompelte
16:51:06 <tjones> #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1129748
16:51:07 <wendar> and, last input from the reporter was mid-April
16:52:28 <tjones> this one also is old as the hills
16:52:51 <wendar> seems stalled
16:52:55 <tjones> yes
16:53:30 <wendar> if we can verify it's not a problem in icehouse and beyond, maybe Incomplete and allowing it to die is best
16:54:34 <wendar> maybe also checking in with packagers to see if this is a problem for them
16:54:49 <tjones> i don't see why it would not be a problem in icehouse though.  who are the packagers??
16:55:08 <wendar> I know them in Ubuntu and Debian, not sure on Fedora/RHEL.
16:56:19 <wendar> zigo is Debian
16:56:26 <zigo> Hi.
16:56:52 <wendar> hi zigo, any thoughts on whether https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1129748 is a problem for packagers?
16:57:12 * zigo reads
16:58:38 <zigo> I agree images shouldn't be world readable.
16:58:47 <zigo> We would consider this as a security issue in Debian.
16:59:31 <wendar> Do you think it can be fixed in OpenStack, or only in the packaging for each distro?
16:59:55 <zigo> Even though a low importance one, as there's not so much use case for having a multi-user computer which also does compute workload.
17:00:11 <wendar> :)
17:00:22 <zigo> wendar: I think it's up to OpenStack to do that, cause the distro is only creating /var/lib/nova, nothing else.
17:01:07 <tjones> thanks zigo.  wendar i need to drop off to start my next meeting.  thanks for your help today
17:01:22 <wendar> zigo, okay, thanks
17:01:40 <wendar> tjones: sounds like we need to contact xavier and see if he's planning on doing anything with this
17:01:47 <wendar> tjones: I can do that
17:01:52 <tjones> ok thanks
