[rdo-dev] Bringing OpenStack back to Fedora
Hey all, It's been several years since OpenStack has been part of the Fedora distribution. Since then, a number of things have changed. Some of the major ones: * Python packaging has gotten better and easier in Fedora (the changes are numerous) * RDO now has Software Factory and full-range CI capabilities * Fedora has CI hook support for packaging (with the transition to Pagure dist-git) * OpenStack and Fedora schedules line up again: https://releases.openstack.org/ In my view, it's a huge shame that we don't offer OpenStack for people to use on Fedora, integrated with the latest software. OpenStack distribution on other distros are able to pull this off, and I feel like we should be able to as well. So what I want to know is the following: * What are the (real or perceived) difficulties in packaging OpenStack for Fedora? * How difficult would it be to adapt RDO CI tooling to plug into Fedora Dist-Git? * How many of the underlying dependencies exist in Fedora today that were forked into CentOS for RDO and which ones? * What dependencies are in RDO that don't exist in Fedora? I'm willing to help with a lot of the packaging stuff, including adapting packages for Fedora, and helping with reviews to bring stuff back in. I firmly believe that maintenance of OpenStack in Fedora should be far easier than it was three years ago, when it was ripped out. So help me... Help you!
