Thanks jocha(Microsoft) and mgerdts(Joyent) for the recent branch work supporting Azure and SmartOS clouds respectively 16:16 <blackboxsw> We also went through another round of StableReleaseUpdates for Ubuntu on Xenial and Artful to pull in IBMCloud platform fixes. putting Xenial and artful at 18.2-4-g05926e48-0ubuntu~16.04.2 | ~17.10.2 16:18 <blackboxsw> I think that's about it for completed development... 16:19 <blackboxsw> #topic In-progress Development 16:21 <blackboxsw> There are a couple of items being worked actively at the moment: 16:22 <blackboxsw> * SRU of cloud-init tip into bionic (should land today or tomorrow) 18.2-27-g6ef92c98-0ubuntu1~18.04.1 16:23 <blackboxsw> * SmartOs datasource detection improvements 16:23 <blackboxsw> * Moving OpenStack datasource to get detected earlier at 'local' stange instead of 'network' stage using ephemeral dhcp client 16:26 <blackboxsw> * read_file_or_url fixes returing text content in all cases 16:26 <blackboxsw> * various upstream bug fixes 16:27 <blackboxsw> * powersj: is also investigating a move to a centralized library for our cloud testing. 16:29 <robjo> blackboxsw: w.r.t. Depend on iproute2's ip instead of net-tools ifconfig or route was this a merge of iproute2tools branch? I don't recall seeing a merge notification but am way behind in e-mail 16:29 <blackboxsw> think that about captures what upstream is working on. I think we can transition to office hours for ~30 mins for anyone to bring up ideas of interest 16:29 <blackboxsw> #topic Office Hours (next ~30 mins) 16:29 <blackboxsw> hi robjo, checking status there 16:30 <blackboxsw> I know we landed one branch on that topic 16:31 <blackboxsw> robjo: so we had a couple branches to packaging dependencies in ubuntu to call out iproute2 specifically as a hard package dependency. 16:32 <blackboxsw> robjo: and the code changes (which took in some of your branch content and review comments) landed in rev 6d48d265a0548a2dc23e587f2a335d4e38e8db90 16:32 <robjo> OK, so I can delete my branch 16:32 <blackboxsw> https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/266CyDt9gD/ 16:34 <robjo> thanks, so we'll get that in 18.3? 16:34 <blackboxsw> robjo: yes I think i marked you co-author on that branch and pulled in all your changes to cloudinit/config/cc_disable_ec2_metadata.py 16:34 <blackboxsw> 2 16:34 <blackboxsw> thanks again for that, sorry for the back and forth as I hadn't seen your original branch. 16:35 <blackboxsw> robjo: definitely in 18.3 16:35 <blackboxsw> it landed a week or two after the 18.2 cut. 16:35 <stanguturi> @blackboxsw, Can someone please provide inputs for the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1766538 One of our team members has uploaded the necessary log files to the bug. 16:35 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1766538 in cloud-init (Ubuntu) "network customization with cloud-init does not work on Ubuntu18.04 Beta2 Server" [Undecided,New] 16:38 <robjo> OK, so lets also revisit some of the other stuff I have floating about as I just did the 18.2 package for openSUSE and SLES and noticed that I am once again scarring a lot of patches :( 16:39 <robjo> blackboxsw: https://code.launchpad.net/~rjschwei/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+ref/emptyStageOK should be back in your court, did you get notification? 16:40 <robjo> blackboxsw: https://code.launchpad.net/~rjschwei/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+ref/noLnxDistro pending since January this may have some merge conflicts now as I had to fiddle quite a bit with the patch in my package 16:41 <blackboxsw> stanguturi: looking 16:41 <robjo> I think rharper is working on a different approach to https://code.launchpad.net/~rjschwei/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+ref/chrony when can we expect that? 16:42 <robjo> and does rharper account for the fact that ntp has a different service name on different distributions? 16:43 <blackboxsw> #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1766538 16:43 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1766538 in cloud-init (Ubuntu) "network customization with cloud-init does not work on Ubuntu18.04 Beta2 Server" [Undecided,New] 16:43 <blackboxsw> #link https://code.launchpad.net/~rjschwei/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+ref/emptyStageOK 16:43 <blackboxsw> ahh robjo hadn't, was on vacation Friday, will grab that/close out today 16:43 <blackboxsw> #link https://code.launchpad.net/~rjschwei/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+ref/noLnxDistro 16:44 <rharper> robjo: re: ntp/chrony, that's landed, including service names for different distros; I pulled unittests and scenarios from your branch; please look over master and see if we're missing anything from your branch w.r.t use-case/scenario 16:45 <robjo> rharper: OK, if it's landed I can at least throw my branch away, and yes, will take a look at master, I take it this will be another in 18.3 item? 16:46 <blackboxsw> stanguturi: ok thanks for the logs on that bug, looks like network config parsing is falling over and OVF datasource isn't being detected https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/qVJxDJWZRV/ 16:47 <stanguturi> @blackboxsw, Oh . Thanks. Will check with him about the test setup and update the bug. Thanks. 16:48 <blackboxsw> updated the bug with a comment there 16:48 <blackboxsw> thanks stanguturi 16:50 <blackboxsw> robjo: correct as well for ntp/chrony, we held off landing it in 18.2 because of risk 16:50 <blackboxsw> it was one of the first branches landed after the cut 16:51 <robjo> ok, leaves the https://code.launchpad.net/~rjschwei/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+ref/noLnxDistro implementation of distro detection as things I'd like to get resolved, others to be addressed maybe in 2 weeks ;) 16:51 <blackboxsw> ok noLnxDistro.... I'm updating the commit comment robjo to the trailing LP: #<bug_id> 16:51 <blackboxsw> claiming a review slot on that now 16:53 <blackboxsw> good unit test coverage, thanks for that 16:54 <robjo> np 16:55 <blackboxsw> ok this can be reviewed today, not sure if why we don't already have a get_linux_distro utility somewhere, but I'll poke around today for context 16:55 <blackboxsw> ahh ahh, thanks for the bug robjo ok 16:56 <robjo> the context is that the Python implementation is going away and has been deprecated 16:56 <blackboxsw> #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1745235 16:56 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1745235 in cloud-init "distribution detection" [Undecided,New] 16:56 <blackboxsw> thanks again 16:56 <blackboxsw> changing that status and will help you get that landed 16:56 <blackboxsw> good one 16:58 <robjo> OK, blackboxsw is on the hook for two things this week ;) distro detection and the empty modules list 16:58 <blackboxsw> #action blackboxsw review distro dection and empty modules list 16:58 * meetingology blackboxsw review distro dection and empty modules list 16:58 * robjo on the hook to look at chrony support in master and report back to rharper 16:58 <blackboxsw> #action robjo review existing chrony support in master per rharper's work 16:58 * meetingology robjo review existing chrony support in master per rharper's work 16:59 <blackboxsw> official now :) 16:59 <blackboxsw> now if I only reviewed previous meeting's action items.... checking now 17:00 <blackboxsw> 16:51 <blackboxsw> #action blackboxsw to have discussions w/ team on datasource maintaining network on each reboot per https://code.launchpad.net/~mgerdts/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/343712 17:01 <blackboxsw> ok per last meeting, we have held a couple of discussions on hotplug vs. maintaining network only on reboot. on first blush it looks like we'd need to have these mutually exclusive, but we are just started to iron our what we want to do for our initial hotplug support in cloud-init and have to have a followup discussion about how to support both approaches 17:02 <blackboxsw> #action blackboxsw carryover network hotplug vs network maintenance on reboot-only 17:02 * meetingology blackboxsw carryover network hotplug vs network maintenance on reboot-only 17:02 <blackboxsw> well that was the only action item from last meeting looks like 17:02 <blackboxsw> ok I think that wraps up today's meeting. 17:02 <blackboxsw> any other parting shots folks? 17:03 <blackboxsw> Thanks again for your time.
