Subject: [openstack-dev] OpenStack 2015.1.0 for Debian Sid and Jessie<br>
<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
Hi,<br>
<br>
I am pleased to announce the general availability of OpenStack 2015.1.0<br>
(aka Kilo) in Debian unstable (aka Sid) and through the official Debian<br>
backports repository for Debian 8.0 (aka Sid).<br>
<br>
Debian 8.0 Jessie just released<br>
===============================<br>
As you may know, Debian 8.0 was released on the 25th of April, just a<br>
few days before OpenStack Kilo (on the 30th of April). Just right after<br>
Debian Jessie got released, OpenStack Kilo was uploaded to unstable, and<br>
slowly migrated the usual way to the new Debian Testing, named Stretch.<br>
<br>
As a lot of new packages had to go through the Debian FTP master NEW<br>
queue for review (they check mainly for the copyright / licensing<br>
information, but also if the package is conform to the Debian policy).<br>
I'd like here to publicly thank Paul Tagliamonte from the Debian FTP<br>
team for his prompt work, which allowed Kilo to reach the Debian<br>
repositories just a few days after its release (in fact, Kilo was fully<br>
available in Unstable more than a week ago).<br>
<br>
Debian Jessie Backports<br>
=======================<br>
Previously, each release of OpenStack, as a backport for Debian Stable,<br>
was only available through private repositories. This wasn't a<br>
satisfying solution, and we wanted to address it by uploading to the<br>
official Debian backports. And the result is now available: all of<br>
OpenStack Kilo has been uploaded to Debian jessie-backports. If you want<br>
to use these repositories, just add them to your sources.list (note that<br>
the Debian installer proposes to add it by default):<br>
<br>
deb <a href="http://httpredir.debian.org/debian" target="_blank">http://httpredir.debian.org/debian</a> jessie-backports main<br>
<br>
(of course, you can use any Debian mirror, not just the httpredir)<br>
<br>
All of the usual OpenStack components are currently available in the<br>
official backports, but there's still some more to come, like for<br>
example Heat, Murano, Trove or Sahara. For Heat, it's because we're<br>
still waiting for python-oslo.versionedobjects 0.1.1-2 to migrate to<br>
Stretch (as a rule: we can't upload to backports unless a package is<br>
already in Testing). For the last 3, I'm not sure if they will be<br>
backported to Jessie. Please provide your feedback and tell the Debian<br>
packaging team if they are important for you in the official<br>
jessie-backports repository, or if Sid is enough. Also, at the time of<br>
writing of this message, Horizon and Designate are still in the<br>
backports FTP master NEW queue (but it should be approved very soon).<br>
<br>
Also, I have just uploaded a first version of Barbican (still in the NEW<br>
queue waiting for approval...), and there's a package for Manila that is<br>
currently on the work by a new contributor.<br>
<br>
Note on Neutron off-tree drivers<br>
================================<br>
The neutron-lbaas, neutron-fwaas and neutron-vpnaas packages have been<br>
uploaded and are part of Sid. If you need it through jessie-backports,<br>
please just let me know.<br>
<br>
All vendor-specific drivers have been separated from Neutron, and are<br>
now available as separate packages. I wrote packages for them all, but<br>
the issue is that most of them wouldn't even build due to failed unit<br>
tests. For most of them, it used to work in the Kilo beta 3 of Neutron<br>
(it's the case for all but 2 of them who were broken at the time), but<br>
they appeared broken with the Kilo final release, as they didn't update<br>
after the Kilo release.<br>
<br>
I have repaired some of them, but working on these packages has shown to<br>
be a very frustrating work, as they receive very few updates from<br>
upstream. I do not plan to work much on them unless one of the below<br>
condition:<br>
- My employer needs them<br>
- things are moving forward upstream, and that these unit tests are<br>
repaired in the stackforge repository.<br>
<br>
If you are a network hardware vendor and read this, please push for more<br>
maintenance, as it's in a really bad state ATM. You are welcome to get<br>
in touch with me, and I'll be happy to help you to help.<br>
<br>
Bug report<br>
==========<br>
If you see any issue in the packages, please do report them to the<br>
Debian bug tracker. Instructions are available here:<br>

Happy installation,<br>
