Background ========== The blueprint [1] wants to utilize the *virtlogd* logging deamon from libvirt. Among others to solve bug [2], one of our oldest ones. The funny part is, that this libvirt feature is still in development. This was a trigger to see if we can create a gate job which utilizes the latest, bleeding edge, version of libvirt to test such features. We discussed it shortly in IRC [3] (tonyb, bauzas, markus_z) and wanted to get some feedback here. The summary of the idea is: * Create a custom repo which contains the latest libvirt version * Enhance Devstack so that it can point to a custom repo to install the built libvirt packages * Have a nodepool image which is compatible with the libvirt packages * In case of [1]: check if tempest needs further/changed tests
Open questions ============== * Is already someone working on something like that and I missed it? * If 'no', is there already a repo which contains the very latest libvirt builds which we can utilize? I haven't done anything with the gates before, which means there is a very high chance I'm missing something or missunderstanding a concept. Please let me know what you think.
