This is actually an excellent point - and one of the reasons that running our own Launchpad is not being suggested. It has been communicated that the operational burden of running a launchpad is extensive and WOULD require dedicated resources. I propose that we not have any developers dedicated to developing phabricator. I propose that the infra-team as a whole would support and maintain it - similar to how we support and maintain gerrit, jenkins, etherpad, ELK, graphite, cgit, mailman, and soon zanata - which are all substantial pieces of software that we did not write ourselves. Since phabricator is actually designed and intended to be able to be run CD from master, the overall operational cost should not be particularly harder than any of the rest of the software we run. Hello, One of the reason Wikimedia migrated from Bugzilla to Phabricator is that it is a PHP application and we have a ton of PHP developers. With OpenStack being all python, maintaining a PHP application might add to your operations burden. As you said in your initial mail, building a bug tracker is not in OpenStack infra team core duties. May I add that hosting such app is probably not either? Phabricator was build for Facebook internal usage but has spawn in its own little company known as Phacility. They seem to provide hosting service which would save you from having to maintain it. Might end up being cheaper than adding workload to the current team / hire one more. Hosting infos: http://www.phabricator.org/hosting/ Staff page: http://phacility.com/about/ We have invited Evan Priestley at the Wikimedia office to present us Phabricator.

[OpenStack-Infra] A proposal to use phabricator for issue tracking
As a follow up to my previous email about thinking about ceasing to use storyboard, I have done some work towards investigating using phabricator. phabricator came out of Facebook, but has been spun out completely and is now managed as an Open Source project. There is a company that has formed around it doing support and hosted installs ... so it has a vibrant and active developer community working on it. In our broader infra ecosystem, we do lots of things with the Wikimedia Foundation. They are close collaborators on Jenkins Job Builder, and are also zuul users. They have recently migrated their bug tracking to phabricator ... so one could imagine that our collaboration could continue nicely. There are several phabricator features we are not interested in - such as code review. Luckily it is easy to turn them off. The phabricator model is not exactly what we want, but there are some nice things about it. It doesn't fully encompass things our project-group/project/branch hierarchy as it relates to things. However, it does allow for an issue to have multiple other issues it's blocked on, as well as multiple issues it blocks. And an issue can be associated with more than one project A project is actually more like an arbitrary tag. That's bad in that it's not a structured concept. It's good in that it's flexible. A project also carries with it an kanban-like workboard, that allows for different priority setting on a per-project basis. In any case - it's hard to think about those things without something to look at, so I set up a phabricator instance and did a data transformation of the current (ish) storyboard database: http://15.126.194.141/ If you have ever logged in to storyboard, you have a login here with a password of password. As you might imagine, I do not consider the data in this instance precious - I may or may not blow it away and reload it from newer database dumps or from improved data migration scripts at any time. You may want to note the workboard concept: The issue: http://15.126.194.141/T2298 Is in both the openstack-infra/system-config and the openstack-ci projects.

Monty Taylor wrote: As a follow up to my previous email about thinking about ceasing to use storyboard, I have done some work towards investigating using phabricator. [...] For the record, I'll repost some of the analysis I did for mordred on this. Main blocker: Ability to track tasks across projects/branches - One of the main features we need from a task tracker in OpenStack is the ability to track the completion of tasks across projects and branches. That affects vulnerability management, bug backports, and generally cross-project work. The fact that Launchpad has a limitation there (on the number of tasks it supports before timeouting) is issue #2 with LP. The problem is stated once, then a number of tasks affecting different groups are created, and the issue is closed when the last task is completed. In Maniphest as it stands, that would translate into one of those: 1- Create a single task that affects multiple projects 2- Create a main task and multiple subtasks, one for each project The main issue with (1) is that you can't track partial completion (i.e. which groups have completed their task and which haven't), which is the main goal of using a common task tracker. The main issue with (2) is that it's difficult to see what groups are affected from the main task (since it only lists task names), and the main task is not autoclosed when the last subtask is closed (requiring manual intervention). In both cases, the UI allows multiple projects to apply to a given task, which is great for tagging, but not so great when you want to track tasks per affected repository and branches. Finally, there is no concept of branches -- we would have to create one project for every repo/branch combinations. Finally, projects have no relationship between them. So even if you associated a task to project openstack/nova--master you would have to also manually associate it to project nova (as in openstack/nova + openstack/python-novaclient) so that Nova team members could also find it there. There is basically no projectgroup concept, which is issue #3 we have with Launchpad. In summary, I think Phabricator's projects concept is a (really) neat *tagging* system, with associated dashboard and all. It's just not meant to cover multiple projects in the OpenStack sense. Our projects have a few properties which make them difficult to emulate with Phabricator's projects: there should be only one per task, they have an affected branch (master, juno...), and they are grouped into higher-level structures that can be searched and browsed as well. Phabricator seems to be sized for single separate projects, and it's project concept is just a way to organize work within that single project. It is pretty obvious when you see what happens if you click one of their projects: you end up in a dashboard with one item per bug. Imagine clicking openstack/nova and landing on a dashboard with thousands of bugs: it's just not meant to be used for that. It is excellent for tracking a subset of tasks and organizing them, but not as a higher-level structure. So in order to make it work, we'd need a whole new concept added, let's call it repository. Each repository may have multiple branches associated with it. When you create a task, you select a repository and a branch (and only one). That field is clearly shown in the task name (no need to drill down to the subtask to find which repo/branch is actually affected by the task). Clicking on that will bring you to a list of bugs affecting that repository. Repositories can be grouped arbitrarily into repogroups which let you search and navigate issues in a set of repositories, rather than force everyone to rebuild queries to find, say, all infra issues. Then we could encode a rule so that when the last subtask of a repo-less task is closed, the parent task is auto-closed. Then that /could/ all work for task coordination for OpenStack, although it would be slightly less convenient than Launchpad or StoryBoard (which do not require you to drill down to update subtasks, and keep the discussion in one single place). Could do a lot better: CLI/API -- One of the main pain points with Launchpad is its partial API. Phabricator comes with the arc tool, but it is designed to drive the DVCS git-like featureset. There is no CLI for Maniphest, only a shortcut to make raw Conduit (API) calls. The Conduit API itself looks mostly undocumented and (2) making Conduit more robust isn't currently a major project priority because there isn't much demand for it outside of internal scripts. We rely on a lot of scripting to interface with Launchpad, which is why a complete and clean API was such a significant part in StoryBoard design. It looks like the Maniphest story on APIs is actually worse than Launchpad. Could do better: Tracking feature development - A feature is a

As ttx said, there is a thing called conduit which is the thing that does this. Link: https://secure.phabricator.com/book/phabdev/article/conduit/ The full quote that's relevant: Hopefully, this should improve over time, but making Conduit more robust isn't currently a major project priority because there isn't much demand for it outside of internal scripts. If you want to use Conduit to build things on top of Phabricator, let us know so we can adjust priorities. I would imagine we'd let them know that it's important to us so that they can adjust their priorities. You can see the available API calls here; http://15.126.194.141/conduit/ 2) is there an event stream of changes (either real time or rss) that can be consumed by said tools? Having the change stream would be really helpful. There is a feed: http://15.126.194.141/feed/ But there is no RSS support for it: https://secure.phabricator.com/T4825 I have not looked into real-time web hook like things. However, I do know that everything that happens produces an event internally, and those events are then picked up by queue processing daemons and dispatched. This is how email support is implemented. So, worst case scenario developing another event stream consumer that would publish a real-time feed wouldn't be terrible.

I think 2 is the way phabricator expects this to be modeled. It's certainly different, but it also gives us a view of a thing we've NEVER had that I honestly think might be more useful to more people. If you look at: https://secure.phabricator.com/T1536 You can see quite quickly which tasks are done and which are still blocking this main task from being done. That those aren't broken out by project there is actually a little nice to me - we are One Project after all. Looking at how wikipedia are using the feature as well may be enlightening. I believe they similarly have multiple projects as well as multiple vertical efforts. In fact, one of the things I particularly like is that it's NOT tied to repos or branches ... because things like product management have interests that are particularly clunky when we're tied to a thinking everything is related to a git repository... as is thinking that having multiple git repositories means multiple bug projects. The mapping is actually potentially different given the project. In both cases, the UI allows multiple projects to apply to a given task, which is great for tagging, but not so great when you want to track tasks per affected repository and branches. Finally, there is no concept of branches -- we would have to create one project for every repo/branch combinations. I'm not so sure about this. I actually think we could create a nova project and a stable/kilo project. Or we may need a nova-kilo - I don't know - but I think there are some iterations we should investigate. Finally, projects have no relationship between them. So even if you associated a task to project openstack/nova--master you would have to also manually associate it to project nova (as in openstack/nova + openstack/python-novaclient) so that Nova team members could also find it there. There is basically no projectgroup concept, which is issue #3 we have with Launchpad. In summary, I think Phabricator's projects concept is a (really) neat *tagging* system, with associated dashboard and all. Yes. It is, in fact, explicitly a tagging system.

The code to deploy this as well as do the data transformation can be found here: https://github.com/emonty/puppet-phabricator It's not perfect - but I figured that a conversation can't really be had without something to point at. 2 specific phabricator questions (which I'm running into in dealing with the pile of Nova bugs). 1) what's the REST API support look like for building tools outside of tree? 2) is there an event stream of changes (either real time or rss) that can be consumed by said tools? Having the change stream would be really helpful. -Sean -- Sean Dague http://dague.net ___ OpenStack-Infra mailing list OpenStack-Infra@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-infra
