Hi Andy,
Thank you for the response. May I know which version you are currently using ?
We can keep puppet-murano for now as there is a user(or some users, hopefully) using the module. However please note there is no functional test coverage(integration tests/acceptance tests) to test actual deployments in our CI. We probably better try enabling a few tests to test actual deployments. I'll look into it when I get time, and might ask for your help in case I face any problems.
Thank you, Takashi

Hi Takashi,
We're still using puppet-murano. If there's any specific issues, I'd be happy to look into them, but it's working OK for us currently.
cheers, Andy

Hello,
In Puppet OpenStack projects we have multiple modules to support
multiple OpenStack components.
However unfortunately some of these have not been attracting enough
interest from developers and
have been unmaintained.
During the past few cycles we retired a few incomplete modules but I'm
wondering if we can retire
a few unmaintained modules now, to reduce our maintenance/release effort.
I checked the modules we have currently, and I think the following three
can be first candidates.
- puppet-murano
- puppet-rally
- puppet-tacker
We haven't seen any feedback from users about these modules for a long
time. Most of the changes
for the past 2~3 years are proposed by me but I am not really using
these components.
These modules do not have proper test coverage and it's quite difficult
for us to catch any breakage and
honestly I'm not quite sure these modules can work properly with the
latest code. Actually we've often
caught up with the latest requirements several years after the change
was made in the software side,
and I'm afraid these are not well-maintained.
eg.
- support for tacker-conductor was added 4 years after the service was
added
- we didn't noticed that the openstack plugin was split out from the
core rally package for several years
If anybody has concerns with retiring these modules, then please let us
know. If we don't hear any objections
for a while, then I'll start proposing changes for project retirement.
Thank you, Takashi
