Hi,

Updating cinder status here.

We discussed this in the cinder meeting yesterday[1] and there were no objections from the team to keep rocky and stein branches in EM.

So cinder is +1 on moving rocky and stein branches to EOL.

Thanks

Hi Elod,

The last commits done in rocky[1] and stein[2] were on Sep 17, 2021. Since then we also discovered that one of the job definition, nova-multiattach[3] was removed in nova rocky release and since nova EOLed their rocky branch[4], that job is breaking (although I haven't confirmed with WIP patches but the last commit in September 2021 passed that job[5] and the gate breaking was noticed recently with change[6]).

We will discuss this in the cinder upstream meeting this week and will update this thread but I'm currently in favor of moving cinder rocky and stein branches to EOL.

Hi,

Similarly like the Queens branch EOL proposal [1] I would like to propose

to transition every project's stable/rocky to End of Life:

- gates are mostly broken

- minimal number of activity can be seen on this branch

- some core projects already transitioned their stable/rocky to EOL

  recently (like ironic, neutron, nova)

- gate job definitions are still using the old, legacy zuul syntax

- gate jobs are based on Ubuntu Xenial, which is also beyond its public

  maintenance window date and hard to maintain

 

Based on the above, if there won't be any project who wants to keep open

their stable/rocky, then I'll start the process of EOL'ing Rocky stable

series as a whole. If anyone has any objection then please respond to

this mail.

Thanks,

Előd Illés
