Open Stack

Hi all,

As the Havana release date is approaching fast, I'm sending this email to sum up the situation for pending bugs and reviews related to the Hyper-V integration in OpenStack.

In the past weeks we diligently marked bugs that are related to Havana features with the "havana-rc-potential" tag, which at least for what Nova is concerned, had absolutely no effect.
Our code is sitting in the review queue as usual and, not being tagged for a release or prioritised, there's no guarantee that anybody will take a look at the patches in time for the release. Needless to say, this starts to feel like a Kafka novel. :-)
The goal for us is to make sure that our efforts are directed to the main project tree, avoiding the need to focus on a separate fork with more advanced features and updated code, even if this means slowing down a lot our pace. Due to the limited review bandwidth available in Nova we had to postpone to Icehouse blueprints which were already implemented for Havana, which is fine, but we definitely cannot leave bug fixes behind (even if they are just a small number, like in this case).

Some of those bugs are critical for Hyper-V support in Havana, while the related fixes typically consist in small patches with very few line changes.

Here's the detailed status:
