I find the terminology here confusing in that packages are accepted in to an ocata-proposed PPA and to zesty-proposed. While I understand that the OpenStack release is called ocata I think referring to the package in zesty as "zesty-ocata" is open to misinterpretation. One way to avoid this would b

Hi James, thanks for your work on this. I agree that the backport to 2.5 will likely be too complex. For 3.5 I didn't see more dependencies in the code, but might find some when trying to do so. I'm currently considering to move to libvirt 3.6 instead if that is working smoothly as I have a few
