We are stoked to announce the release of: ironic-python-agent-builder 7.3.0 This release is part of the hibiscus release series. The source is available from: https://opendev.org/openstack/ironic-python-agent-builder Download the package from: https://tarballs.openstack.org/ironic-python-agent-builder/ Please report issues through: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic-python-agent-builder/+bugs For more details, please see below. 7.3.0 ^^^^^ Bug Fixes * Fixes a delay of up to 30 seconds during boot when a node is deployed via virtual media without a configuration drive. The configuration drive resolution script now detects the Ironic boot device by its publisher id and, when that device has no "config-2" label, concludes immediately that no configuration drive is present instead of polling for the full timeout. A stale "config-2" partition left on a local disk no longer stalls boot.
