Hi everyone, I'm delighted to announce the release of Debian packages for Mitaka b2.
Debian Experimental =================== I have uploaded it all to Debian Experimental. This is the only place where you may find official packages. It will stay this way until Debian Bikesheds (Bikesheds is what will be Debian's version of PPA) are operational, or when Mitaka final is out, at which point all will be uploaded to Sid, then to Jessie-backports. Mitaka in Debian Stretch ======================== As the Debian release team announced that Debian 9.0 (aka: Stretch) will be frozen late in 2016, Mitaka will be the OpenStack release which I will maintain in Stretch. Though, if before the release, we have working Bikesheds, I will ask for the removal of all OpenStack stuff from Stable and Testing, and will only maintain the last 2 stable releases in specific Bikesheds. Non-official Jessie and Trusty backports ======================================== All of Mitaka b2 is also available on the automatic Jenkins backport build servers for Debian Jessie and Ubuntu Trusty. The repository addresses are described here: http://mitaka-jessie.pkgs.mirantis.com/ and here: http://mitaka-trusty.pkgs.mirantis.com/ Note: these are Mirantis sponsored servers to automatically rebuild backports, but the source packages are the exact copy of what's in Debian without any change. If you use puppet-openstack, and would like to use Ubuntu Trusty as the base OS, you need to install the puppet-openstack-debian-fact on all of your servers, so that the Puppet scripts know that you're using Debian style packages on top of Ubuntu. This way, puppet will know the difference in Horizon, Nova & Neutron (the other packages are using the same names). Alternatively, you can do it manually (same effect): echo os_package_type=debian > /etc/facter/facts.d/os_package_type.txt Also, note that the Trusty backports have been rebuilt entirely using Debian packages. No source package available in this repository where downloaded from Ubuntu (but from Debian), meaning that these packages are fully redistributable as it pleases you, without modification or rebuild, without any risk with the Ubuntu trademark problems [1] (of course, remains the problem of redistributing the base OS... but I'm not redistributing this myself!). Included in this release ======================== The following server packages are available: * aodh * barbican * ceilometer * cinder * designate * glance * gnocchi * heat * ironic * keystone * manila * mistral * murano * murano-agent * neutron * nova * openstack-trove * sahara * senlin * zaqar I couldn't upload these to Experimental (as Horizon needs to support Django 1.9 support), but packages are done and backported to both Jessie and Trusty: - horizon - murano-dashboard - designate-dashboard - trove-dashboard - sahara-dashboard - senlin-dashboard At this point, even though the package is functional, I have a working Congress package, but I can't upload it to Debian due to its "thirdparty" folder containing non-free files, such as windows .dll and such. I hope upstream maintainers can fix that. - congress These were still not tagged for Mitaka b2, so I didn't package them yet: - magnum - manila-ui - zaqar-ui Report bugs =========== This is a preview, which hasn't been tested much. Bugs are to be expected, just like it is in upstream code. So by all means, report bugs to the Debian BTS [2] if you find any. Thanks to so many people ======================== I'd like to hereby thank everyone who helped this release to happen. This includes, but not limited to: cdent which I annoyed with one package, when the issue was really in Debian, Corey Bryant from Canonical for continuing to co-maintain OpenStack Python modules directly in Debian, folks from Telemetry who are always very helpful to help me fix a few things. Thanks to anyone who helped closing bugs I've opened. I'm sure I am forgetting many people who helped a lot. No keyboard (or any other hardware) was hurt doing this release.
