Hi,<br>
<br>
There's been a lot of lively discussion on GBP a few weeks back and we<br>
wanted to drive forward the discussion on this a bit more. As you<br>
might imagine, we're excited to move this forward so more people can<br>
try it out. Here are the options:<br>
<br>
* Neutron feature branch: This presumably allows the GBP feature to be<br>
developed independently, and will perhaps help in faster iterations.<br>
There does seem to be a significant packaging issue [1] with this<br>
approach that hasn’t been completely addressed.<br>
<br>
* Neutron-incubator: This allows a path to graduate into Neutron, and<br>
will be managed by the Neutron core team. That said, the proposal is<br>
under discussion and there are still some open questions [2].<br>
<br>
* Stackforge: This allows the GBP team to make rapid and iterative<br>
progress, while still leveraging the OpenStack infra. It also provides<br>
option of immediately exposing the existing implementation to early<br>
adopters.<br>
<br>
Each of the above options does not preclude moving to the other at a later time.<br>
<br>
Which option do people think is more preferable?<br>
<br>
(We could also discuss this in the weekly GBP IRC meeting on Thursday:<br>

Thanks!<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
IIRC, Kevin was saying to me in IRC that GBP really needs to live in-tree due to it needing access to various internal plugin points and to be able to call across different plugin layers/drivers inside of Neutron.<br>
<br>
If this is the case, how would the stackforge GBP project work if it wasn't a fork of Neutron in its entirety?<br>
<br>
Just curious,<br>
