Hello, Filippo Giunchedi and I have completed a Debian package of Nodepool. It is targeting Jessie with the OpenStack packages from jessie-backports so it might not be usable out of the box but still. The package right now is v0.1.1 with a few patches: python-statsd >= 3.0 related: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/186079/ Debug dying task managers https://review.openstack.org/#/c/187668/ Convert timing metrics to milliseconds https://review.openstack.org/#/c/171890/ Convert to use latest statsd version Let Nodepool actually gracefully shutdown: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/203232/ Properly stop all threads on SIGINT The service is managed by systemd which handles the daemonization as well as PID tracking (hence nodepool service is started with -d). There is no debconf to easily configure it :-/ The repo is: https://github.com/wikimedia/operations-debs-nodepool/ Branches: debian: /debian/ directory and v0.1.1 upstream: v0.1.1 Quilt patches are kept as open changes in Gerrit against branch patch-queue/debian and kept in sync with gpb-pq from git-buildpackage: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/status:open+project:operations/debs/nodepool+branch:patch-queue/debian,n,z Bumping the version further is blocked on a few python modules which are missing from Jessie and Jessie backports such as python-shade. I am wondering whether you would be interested in having the packaging work hosted under OpenStack umbrella? -- Antoine "hashar" Musso
