Getting binary support is just a mater of rebuilding packages for arm64. I once did that for you setting-up a Jenkins machine just for rebuilding. It's really a shame that you guys aren't following that road. You'd have all of my support if you did. I personally don't have access to the necessary hardware for it, and wont use the arm64 repos...
The thing is - no one asked for Debian/binary images so far so I did not bothered you.
Your team provides packages for already released OpenStack stuff. From Kolla point of view it means that at beginning of a new development cycle we would need to get images for previous release with Debian binary packages built, tested and backported.
I used to package every beta (b1, b2, b3). But then, nobody was consuming them, so I stopped. And the harsh reality right now, is that most projects stopped producing these bX releases.
Today, I'm already done with the packaging of all RC1 releases, and I'm already beginning to test installing them. This is 2 days after the RCs.
Are they available somewhere online so they can be tested?
No other distribution beats me on this timing.
RDO and UCA produce packages during development cycle.
So I'm not sure what more I could do... If you wish to participate and provide intermediary releases using Git, that's possible, but that means someone needs to participate and do it. I can't be full time doing packaging like I used to when I was employed to do only that (these days, I maintain my own installer and 8 clusters in production...).
I am aware that building OpenStack packages is not your daily job anymore.
Radosław Piliszek often ask me about the status of Debian packages, and he manages to maintain compat in OSA using them. Why can't you do it?
Taking care of Kolla is one of my work tasks. Not primary anymore as we got to the point when I only need to fix when things break.
Again, I very much would love to collaborate and help you doing more with the Debian binary stuff for ARM. I can check are there free resources left for providing you AArch64 machine for builds.
