Hi All,
I just wanted to update everyone on a new devstack-plugin that allows us to
install alternate versions of libvirt(and qemu) into a devstack.
The motivation for this started in a Vancouver summit session but got more
steam from from[2]. There is a project-config[3] change to add an experimental
job to use this.
The current state is that the plugin will install libvirt+qemu from Ubuntu
Cloud Archive (liberty) and that's pretty mush it.
I admit with Ubuntu 16.04 coming out RSN the utility of this is limited but
that's just the first step.
Some of the design considerations were:
* Decouple the building of $packages from the devstack run
* Use distrubution packages not tarballs etc
* The plugin is a framework that allows this to be used (for example) by
Neutron to test OVS[4]
Short term TODO list:
1) Add support for virt-preview on Fedora-23 [should happen next week]
2) Use libvirt packages other than UCA [realistically post summit]
Longer term TODO list:
1) find a home in the big tent
2) test all the things
3) Use this for Neutron to test OVS
- Is there and existing package repo we can test on trusty?
So it you're interested in helping out or using the plugin reach out!
Yours Tony.
