Hi, A blueprint proposed for oslo.messaging Juno [0] has dependencies on non-python packages for running the developer tox tests. These platform-specific packages are available for Centos/RHEL/Fedora platforms as well as Debian/Ubuntu systems. However, in some cases these packages are not available via the default package repositories for their distributions. Specifically, the Cento/RHEL packages are available via EPEL [1], [2]. The Debian/Ubuntu packages are under review for inclusion in 'unstable' [3], but in the meantime a PPA containing the packages is maintained by the Apache Qpid project (the authors of the package) [4] These packages contain the development libraries and header files necessary to build the C extension that is packaged with the python bindings for Proton, which is the python module required by the blueprint [5]. So now my question - the unit tests (tox) require these libraries be installed on the machine the tests are running on in order for the tests to pass. Is it possible to have these packages installed to the CI systems? This would require adding EPEL or the Qpid PPA to these systems. Is this something I can do? If so, are there any guides to doing this? These packages would also need to be installed onto any systems that will run the gate tests for oslo.messaging. thanks for your help, -K [0] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/oslo.messaging/+spec/amqp10-driver-implementation [1] http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/repoview/qpid-proton-c-devel.html [2] http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/beta/7/x86_64/repoview/qpid-proton-c-devel.html [3] http://mentors.debian.net/package/qpid-proton [4] https://launchpad.net/~qpid/+archive/ubuntu/proton [5] https://pypi.python.org/pypi?name=python-qpid-proton&version=0.7-0&:action=display -- Ken Giusti (kgiusti at gmail.com)
