Hey Paul,
Sorry, I don't think I have had a chance to get this fully integrated with an 
'apache' or 'cloudstack' repo yet, but here is the tool I wrote for generating 
sections of the RN.

https://github.com/swill/generate_acs_rn

For the API changes, you will have to utilize the work that Pierre-Luc has done.

I tried to make sure the README was solid, so please let me know if anything is 
not clear so I can improve the documentation.  I think I am still the only 
person who has used this set of tools (I did it for these sections of the 4.10 
release as well).  I can do it again if you want, but it would be a good idea 
to get someone else's eyes on this work as well.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers and happy holidays,

Will Stevens
CTO

Re: Any pythonista willing to help backport some cloud-init changes?

[Nux!]

Oh, right, cool!

I thought it's not proper to exclude the tests, but whatever works.

I've rebuilt the RPMs and will ask the user to repeat the tests (and whoever 
else is up for it!).
http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/tmp/cloud-init7/


Once we agree it works I can ask the CentOS guys for an updated package.

Thanks for assistance Rene!

No python magic needed here, only git magic :)
So only the tests part did not apply, I would just "exclude" those...

Hi,

That patch does not apply cleanly to cloud-init 0.7.9 tarball. It needs some 
adapting by someone who understands python.

Re: [DISCUSS] Changing events to include UUIDs, could it break your integration

+1 on API versioning and make it really RESTful (cherry on top).
I'm willing to participate on this change if voted for.

DZone article on software management

[Ron Wheeler]

For those who are interested in process.

This is an interesting summary of "Best Practices" for teamwork on 
software projects.


https://dzone.com/storage/assets/7529578-rc-167-softwareconfigurationmanagementpatterns.pdf

It describes practices that I believe are currently followed in the 
Cloudstack team.


There is an good discussion about SCM and how to manage a stable 
development line with simple rules for managing private development 
branches.


You may have to sign up for DZone to get this. It is free and I guess 
that you can drop out at any time.
I understand that some will not want to bother but it is interesting 
reading and may have some sections that explicitly state policies that 
Cloudstack developers are following (or not).

[DISCUSS] Changing events to include UUIDs, could it break your integration

[Rohit Yadav]

All,


We've come across a pull request which changes the event description to 
use/export UUIDs instead of the numeric internal ID of a resource. I'm not sure 
if this could potentially break any external integration such as billing, crms 
etc. so wanted to get your feedback on this. My understanding is external 
billing/intergrations would consume from the usage related tables for data than 
events table.


The PR is https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/1940


Comments, thoughts? Thanks.

Any pythonista willing to help backport some cloud-init changes?

[Nux!]

Hi,

I've been made aware by a user that there is an issue (regression) with the 
latest cloud-init in CentOS, in that the Cloudstack data source does not parse 
dhcp lease files with "-" in them.
There's a fix, but it does not apply cleanly. Can someone have a go at it?
https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1717147
https://github.com/cloud-init/cloud-init/commit/da1db792b2721d94ef85df8c136e78012c49c6e5

Once we get the patch properly integrated we can ask the CentOS project to 
issue an update.

Having said that, I've built in the interim some packages with a very basic 
patch and you can find them here, I've been told they do fix the issue, but try 
at your own risk:
