Hello, The Ubuntu package placement-api is valid from Train, earlier the package was named nova-placement-api so the documentation should be correct for the Train release. When thinking about it; there might be duplicates right now and maybe the nova-placement-api hasn't been removed for Train yet. Best regards Tobias On 06/19/2019 06:00 PM, Chris Dent wrote:
The placement install docs [1] have the following warning plastered on top:
These installation documents are a work in progress. Some of the distribution packages mentioned are not yet available so the instructions will not work.
It is likely that packages are now available, but the docs have not been updated to reflect that, nor have the docs been verified against those packages.
None of the regular and active contributors to placement are involved with distro-related packaging. In addition they are all already fully booked. Are there members of the community who are involved with the distros, and who can update and verify these docs?
If not, we will likely need to remove the distro related install documents before the end of the Train release and solely maintain the install-from-pypi docs [2] (which are up to date). This is because the existing docs are now misleading, and thus potentially dangerous and extra-work-inducing, as suggested by a recent bug [3].
If you are interested in helping out, please follow up. If you're unable to help out, but know people involved with packaging who should know about this concern, please let them know.
Thanks for your help.
