Re: [OpenStack-Infra] Zuul API
Hi Miguel, I'm not sure what the long term plans are for creating an API but I think it'd be safe to say if you're willing to work on it any improvements would be welcome! Currently zuul has an RPC framework that could be extended to expose additional functionality. At the moment it only implements a few methods. What kind of functions were you looking to expose over an API?

I’m creating a CICD architecture for our dev teams and I was wondering if you: * Have plans for creating an API for Zuul? * If not would you be interested if our team contributes the API for it? In our experience Zuul is a powerful but for our non-openstack use cases and to incorporate it to multiple systems/applications the lack of an API makes it difficult to implement. Thoughts?

It is true that I have not been that involved in commit reviewing, but one of the developers working on this project with me is in the higher up in the review count. He is currently sitting at 660+ reviews in the Icehouse cycle so he has a lot of experience with Gerrit. I like the idea of taking a step back and starting with the basis of a well defined UI around Gerrit as a first step, but I think this should be a small portion of the process as working towards a backend that can help our pipeline will be a great thing. What I am thinking might be the best approach is a two pronged attack to start: 1. Start on an AngularJS wrapper to Gerrit that is purely based around a REST API. 2. Begin with a common core that can slowly be extended to provide replacement to the Gerrit REST api along with filling in where we have issues with our current pipeline. -Ph ___ OpenStack-Infra mailing list OpenStack-Infra@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-infra

So please understand I have very deep concerns. Storyboard was started by the person who was the #1 user of Launchpad in our Community, because launchpad was a giant efficiency problem in making good OpenStack releases. So this is not the same thing as Storyboard. There are other options besides whole sale replacement. For instance, with a modern Gerrit the UI could be replaced with a custom one built on top of the REST api. That seems like a better starting point, as you could sort out the UX challenges first, get an alt interfaces that we all agree on, get tons of feedback in a live / high volume environment. It can be a 2nd interface that gets used along side the existing one for a long time, and constantly iterated on to demonstrate improvements. Then the backend switch could be taken on after the UX has proven itself. This would have the advantage of being able to be dogfooded really soon (as soon as the gerrit 2.8 deploy completes). It also means that for UI that wasn't completed yet, it could fall back to gerrit interfaces. Anyway, realize that unlike launchpad, gerrit actually has fans. And while I 100% agree Google doesn't know how to run an open source project (which I think is the a challenge for any organization that largely collocates their teams, as anyone not within walking distance is *other*), what they've managed to produce is still pretty reasonable for those of us using it every day. -Sean -- Sean Dague Samsung Research America s...@dague.net / sean.da...@samsung.com http://dague.net signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ OpenStack-Infra mailin

That came up on IRC a few nights ago by Ryan Lane. And it seems like a lot of mileage could be gained from contributing to an existing upstream, even if it's an alternative one to gerrit. I have nothing against starting from a known base if there is something that meets a majority of our needs and can be easily enhanced. With that said, I would not feel that Phabricator would fit into that. It is not bad at what it does, but happens to be a very odd PHP app. From my experience with PHP (which is vast), server side applications that do any functionality that is beyond being just a web app tend to have poor code bases and very strange hacks to get around the fastcgi or mod_php sandbox that PHP runs in. I looked at Phabricator before storyboard - I agree with Philip. It's a good application, but I don't think it's a good application for us. Same as with bug tracking - we have some really specific requirements. I have been looking at a lot of things that all are code review related and also looked at review board as suggested earlier. All have elements that I like and do not like and none of them meet the needs of the OpenStack project completely. Personally I feel that making an attempt at meeting our needs while leveraging external libraries is good idea, and using things that applications like review board use and some of the libraries they use is a good starting point. I think we have an opinionated view of how this works - and as it interfaces with things like zuul and turbo-hipster, we deal with a massive amount of things that are pretty specific to us. I'm not saying that's a thing to be proud of or a thing to be ashamed of - it simply is. Which means, although I tend to have a side which agrees with Clint and Clark that replacing gerrit is a bit of a potential giant rathole - I also think that making a scalable thing that architecturally fits with the other things we've got would be nice. I don't really care about the java v. python part - but ultimately gerrit is designed as a single monolithic service - and although we haven't hit its ability to scale .. yet ... I think it's only a matter of time.
