Release Countdown For Week R-12, Jan 11-25 ========================================== * Focus: Second milestone is coming up. Finish up major features or reevaluate if things really need to land in this cycle. * Actions: - Identify work that needs to be completed before the M-2 tag. - Release liaisons responsibilities are being updated. Provide comments for questions or concerns [4]. * Important Dates: - Mitaka 2: Jan 19-21 - Release schedule [5]. * Full thread: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2016-January/083507.html Re-introduce Twisted to global-requirements =========================================== * A change in global-requirements [6] introduces mimic, an http server that can mock various APIs. * Mimic depends on twisted, which in the past was removed in favor of Eventlet to avoid developers having to know multiple frameworks [7]. * Jim Rollenhagen explains Ironic’s need for Mimic: - To do functional tests, not unit tests which they could do with requests-mock. - To bring up a less expensive Ironic environment for doing functional tests. * Jay Pipes notes: - This is another way to introduce a larger surface area of bugs to creep in since you have to keep Mimic up-to-date with the real interfaces. - There’s not a clear value in the advantage of functional tests of a client that calls a fake HTTP API versus unit tests of a client that simply uses requests-mock. * Full thread: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2016-January/083510.html [1] - http://docs.openstack.org/draft/config-reference/ [2] - http://docs.openstack.org/infra/openstackci/ [3] - http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-infra/2015-October/003309.html [4] - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/262003/ [5] - http://docs.openstack.org/releases/schedules/mitaka.html [6] - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/220268/ [7] - https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/UnifiedServiceArchitecture
