Fixed unit tests in fuel-nailgun, thanks to a patch from Sebastian Kalinowski. Now all unit tests are passing but one (for which I opened a launchpad bug: tests are trying to write in /var/log/nailgun, which is impossible at package build time).

Wednesday 07:
Asked the Debian release team (open bugs with debdiff as attachment) for unblocks of glance, neutron, nova, designate, keystone, heat, trove so they migrate to Jessie.
Fixed a few minor issues tracked in the Debian BTS on various packages.
Thesday 08:
James Page from Canonical informed me that they are now using openstack-pkg-tools for maintaining their daemons in Nova, Cinder and Keystone in Ubuntu. That s an awesome news : more QA for both platforms.
James Page found out that dh_installinit *must* be called *after* the call of dh_systemd_enable, otherwise, daemons aren t started automatically at the first install of packages, as the unmask of systemd happens after the invoke-rc.d.
Friday 09:
Did some QA checks on the latest upload. Fixed Heat which broke because using the wrong template name (glance instead of heat).
Monday 12:
Started re-running the automated openstack-deploy scrip in Icehouse, Juno and Kilo. Found out the issue in Keystone wasn t fixed in Juno (but was fixed in other releases), and fixed it.
Removed the use of ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv3 from heat (removed form Debian). Uploaded the fixed package to Sid.
All of openstack-deploy (debian/kilo branch) now works and succesfully installs OpenStack again.
If dh_installinit is called before, we have:
# Automatically added by dh_installinit
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/keystone" ]; then
update-rc.d keystone defaults >/dev/null
fi
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/keystone" ] [ -e "/etc/init/keystone.conf" ]; then
invoke-rc.d keystone start true
fi
# End automatically added section
# Automatically added by dh_systemd_enable
# This will only remove masks created by d-s-h on package removal.
deb-systemd-helper unmask keystone.service >/dev/null true
# was-enabled defaults to true, so new installations run enable.
if deb-systemd-helper --quiet was-enabled keystone.service; then
# Enables the unit on first installation, creates new
# symlinks on upgrades if the unit file has changed.
deb-systemd-helper enable keystone.service >/dev/null true
else
# Update the statefile to add new symlinks (if any), which need to be
# cleaned up on purge. Also remove old symlinks.
deb-systemd-helper update-state keystone.service >/dev/null true
fi
# End automatically added section
If it s called after dh_systemd_enable, we have:
# Automatically added by dh_systemd_enable
# This will only remove masks created by d-s-h on package removal.
deb-systemd-helper unmask keystone.service >/dev/null true
# was-enabled defaults to true, so new installations run enable.
if deb-systemd-helper --quiet was-enabled keystone.service; then
# Enables the unit on first installation, creates new
# symlinks on upgrades if the unit file has changed.
deb-systemd-helper enable keystone.service >/dev/null true
else
# Update the statefile to add new symlinks (if any), which need to be
# cleaned up on purge. Also remove old symlinks.
deb-systemd-helper update-state keystone.service >/dev/null true
fi
# End automatically added section
# Automatically added by dh_installinit
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/keystone" ]; then
update-rc.d keystone defaults >/dev/null
fi
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/keystone" ] [ -e "/etc/init/keystone.conf" ]; then
invoke-rc.d keystone start true
fi
# End automatically added section
As a consequence, I have to re-upload version 22 of openstack-pkg-tools and also re-upload all OpenStack core packages to Debian Sid.
Fixed a number of issues like:
* dbc_upgrade = true check which shouldn t have been there in postinst.
* <project>/configure_db default value is now always false
* db_sync and pkgos_dbc_postinst are now only done if <project>/configure_db is set to true.
Rebuilt all packages in Juno and Kilo with the above changes.
Tuesday 13:
Opened unblock bugs for the release team to unblock all fixed packages.
Made more tests in Juno and Kilo to make sure the fixed bugs in Icehouse are fixed there too.
Fixed numerous issues in Trove (missing trove-conductor.conf, wrong trove-api init file, etc.). More work will be needed for it for both Icehouse and newer releases.
Wednesday 14:
Did a doc meeting about debconf. Some doc contributors still want to kill the debconf / debian manual, and I have to not agree.
Made a new patch to better document the keystone install procedure:
Did some bug triaging in the doc about Debian.
Uploaded new versions of core packages to Experimental (eg: Juno) built against openstack-pkg-tools >= 22~, and some fixes forward ported from Icehouse: Keystone, Ceilometer, Cinder, Glance, Heat, Ironic, Murano, Neutron, Nova, Saraha and Murano-agent. All where rebuilt in Juno (Wheezy + Trusty) and Kilo (Jessie only) on my Jenkins.
Thuesday 15:
Succesfully booted a live-build Debian live image containing mcollective and nailgun-agent as a Debian replacement for the hardware discovery / boostrap image of Fuel. Now, I need to find a way to use just a kernel + initramfs
Friday 16 to Tuesday 20:
Worked on the packaging CI.
Wednesday 21:
Fixed https://bugs.debian.org/775636 (Horizon failed to build due to a Moscow timezone change and wrong test). Uploaded to Sid, asked for unblock.
Fixed https://bugs.debian.org/775926: CVE-2015-1195: Glance still allows users to download and delete any file in glance-api server (applied upstream patch). Uploaded to Sid, asked for unblock. Uploaded Juno version to Experimental.
Uploaded openstack-trove with the remaining fixes, asked release team for unblock.
Uploaded python-glanceclient 0.15.0 (Juno) to Experimental because it fixes an issue with HTTPS. Added to it a patch from James Page not yet merged, which fixes unit test with Python 2.7.9 (7 failures otherwise).
Uploaded python-xstatic-d3 as it can t be installed anymore in Sid after a new version of d3 was uploaded.
Thursday 22:
Uploaded python-xstatic-smart-table and libjs-angularjs-smart-table to Sid (new packages, now in NEW queue).
Friday 23:
Ask for the removal of the below list of packages from Jessie:
python-xstatic
python-xstatic-angular
python-xstatic-angular-cookies
python-xstatic-angular-mock
python-xstatic-bootstrap-datepicker
python-xstatic-bootstrap-scss
python-xstatic-d3
python-xstatic-font-awesome
python-xstatic-hogan
python-xstatic-jasmine
python-xstatic-jquery
python-xstatic-jquery-migrate
python-xstatic-jquery-ui
python-xstatic-jquery.bootstrap.wizard
python-xstatic-jquery.quicksearch

python-xstatic-qunit
python-xstatic-rickshaw
python-xstatic-spin
libjs-jsencrypt
libjs-spin.js
libjs-twitter-bootstrap-datepicker
libjs-twitter-bootstrap-wizard
They are used only in OpenStack Horizon starting on 2014.2 (aka Juno), and Jessie is shipped with Icehouse, so it s IMO best to not carry the burden of maintaining these packages for the life of Jessie.
Monday 26:
Enhanced and review requested changes for https://review.openstack.org/147296 (ie: Keystone install with more details about what the package does).
Finished testing network on the CI install. Now need to automate all.

Note that this is the weekly build of testing. We wont get Debian Stable images before Jessie is out.
