Hello Thierry, you are right. A bugfix branch is very important for us. I cannot keep a UX bug in production, when I have a user that opens a support ticket about this. I have to avoid the second user opening the second ticket for the very same problem. If merging to a common bugfix branch is not possible, I will have to carry local patches. Please be aware that most Openstack Ubuntu packages do carry local patches in the debian/patches/ folder. I am pretty sure that this patch could land without problems in the Ubuntu packages for Newton/Horizon. > >> But merging a patch that changes a log file in Nova back to Newton was >> OKAY few weeks ago. > Could you provide a link to that one ? sure, here it is: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/If525313c63c4553abe8bea6f2bfaf75431ed18ea Thank you Saverio -- SWITCH Saverio Proto, Peta Solutions Werdstrasse 2, P.O.
