Ironic is a bit different in this regard to the released code since there _is_ overlap with the STX Bare Metal service. There is also not-overlapping aspects to it. I would like to talk with you and the Ironic team at some point about scope and goals for the long term. > the public community, but since we're dealing with squashed commits of > changes, it is really hard for us to delineate history/origin of code > fragments, and without that it makes it near impossible for projects > to even help them reconcile their technical debt because of that and > the lacking context surrounding that.

There are some bits that we were not allowed to release (for legal reasons, not open core reasons) that are present in the history. And yes it is in most cases unusable to do anything more than browse for pulling things upstream. What I did manage to get was permission to publish the individual commits on top of the upstream base that do not run afoul of the legal issues. Given that this is all against Pike and we need to propose to master first, they are not likely directly usable but the information needed for the upstream work will be available. These have not been cleaned up yet but I plan to add them directly to the repos containing the squashes as they are done. > Can I add myself to the list of confused people wanting to understand > better?

I have heard multiple reasons why this has been done, this is one area I am not going to go into detail about other than the stuff that has been cleared and released. Understanding (some) business decisions are not one of my strengths. I will say that my opinion from working with WRS for a few months is they do truly want to form a community around StarlingX and will be moving their ongoing Titanium development there. dt -- Dean Troyer [email protected] __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: [email protected]?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
