14:06:56 <whoami-rajat> Final RC deadline: March 28th, 2024 (R-1 week)

14:06:56 <whoami-rajat> Dalmatian PTG: April 8-12, 2024
14:07:01 <whoami-rajat> we've RC1 tomorrow
14:07:24 <whoami-rajat> and we will cut stable/2024.1 branch
14:07:47 <whoami-rajat> after that any patch that needs to get into the release needs to be backported and RC2 will be released
14:08:04 <whoami-rajat> I will create an etherpad for potential bug fixes that we want to get into the cycle
14:08:07 <whoami-rajat> actually let me create it now
14:09:24 <whoami-rajat> #link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/cinder-caracal-rc-bugs
14:09:27 <whoami-rajat> I've created a template
14:09:35 <whoami-rajat> please fill out bugs as per the format
14:09:48 <whoami-rajat> and remember we will only accept release critical fixes
14:09:58 <whoami-rajat> so please don't flood the list as we might miss out on some important fixes
14:10:34 <whoami-rajat> then we've the caracal release on April 3rd
14:10:41 <whoami-rajat> and PTG from 8-12th April
14:10:50 <whoami-rajat> I think we've the PTG etherpad created right jbernard ?
14:11:21 <jbernard> yep, https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/dalmatian-ptg-cinder
14:11:37 <whoami-rajat> thanks jbernard , i will link it in the etherpad
14:11:52 <whoami-rajat> please add your PTG topics here ^
14:11:56 <jbernard> i still need to format it, but that will be the link
14:12:35 <whoami-rajat> okay, sounds good
14:12:48 <whoami-rajat> that's all for the announcements
14:12:56 <whoami-rajat> anything else from the community news that i missed?
14:13:11 <simondodsley> CFP is now open for OpenInfra Asia if anyone wants to submit: https://openinfrafoundation.formstack.com/forms/openinfra_asia_summit_2024
14:14:55 <whoami-rajat> oh thanks simondodsley , seems like it's a regional summit this time in south Korea?
14:15:25 <simondodsley> This is the new format for OpenInfra Summits going forward. They will be regional based
14:15:42 <simondodsley> This is the APJ one
14:15:47 <happystacker> do we have any idea of the next location?
14:16:01 <happystacker> will it rolled between continents?
14:16:48 <simondodsley> No - each region will have their own Summit from now on - no glbal one that rolled as in the past
14:17:00 <simondodsley> Americas hasn't been defined yet
14:17:14 <simondodsley> EMEA will be habing OpenInfra Days at the moment rather than a full summit
14:17:30 <whoami-rajat> not sure how useful it will be for Cinder in the Asia region since all other cores are in Europe or US region
14:17:34 <happystacker> end of a long story of summit...
14:17:39 <happystacker> yes that's true
14:17:55 <simondodsley> sad day, but i will be submitting something anyway - always wanted to go to S Korea
14:18:23 <jungleboyj> Wow.  That is the end of an era.  :-(
14:19:37 <happystacker> sniff.
14:20:42 <whoami-rajat> let's see how this new format goes
14:20:57 <whoami-rajat> so that was all we had for announcements
14:21:00 <whoami-rajat> moving on to topics
14:21:17 <whoami-rajat> #topic build-openstack-releasenotes job broken for cinder
14:21:23 <whoami-rajat> #link https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/build/e5db95ecafbd46659961de13f819a4d3
14:21:28 <whoami-rajat> as some of you might have noticed
14:21:41 <bryanneumann> :)
14:21:43 <whoami-rajat> our releasenote job is broken (during the deadlines -- no surprises there)
14:21:59 <whoami-rajat> I tried to fix it here
14:22:01 <whoami-rajat> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/912630
14:22:08 <whoami-rajat> but it's still failing with the same error
14:22:27 <whoami-rajat> I understand the issue but somehow i feel the releasenote job is not picking up the change correctly
14:22:40 <whoami-rajat> I even tried with the anonymous reference approach (__)
14:22:46 <whoami-rajat> still failing
14:23:21 <whoami-rajat> finally i tried to fix it in stable/zed where the buggy releasenote was introduced
14:23:24 <whoami-rajat> no luck
14:23:38 <whoami-rajat> would be good to get some expertise here on how to address this fast and unblock gate
14:23:43 <rosmaita> i guess there was a sphinx update or something
14:24:19 <whoami-rajat> i checked requirements project and we haven't bumped anything but you might be right since we don't put U-C on a lot of stuff and the latest one gets picked up
14:25:19 <whoami-rajat> sphinx show the last release as 7.2.6 on september 14, 2023
14:26:02 <eharney> maybe just disable the warning/error in sphinx config as a temporary measure to get the job working?
14:26:23 <whoami-rajat> we can try that
14:26:42 <happystacker> at least we have a workaround if that works
14:27:31 <rosmaita> possibly, i'm not sure we can override that in the gate
14:28:20 <rosmaita> i'll see if i can figure something out in the next hour, and if not will ping stephenfin, i think he's done some work on thi
14:28:23 <rosmaita> s
14:29:44 <rosmaita> the most recent releasenotes job succeeded: https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/builds?job_name=build-openstack-releasenotes&project=openstack/cinder
14:30:22 <eharney> on https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/911329 which is tweaking reno things
14:30:34 <happystacker> Since to be failing since March 8th
14:30:37 <rosmaita> so maybe rebase the others?
14:31:02 <eharney> tox -e releasenotes passes locally for me on master?
14:31:05 <whoami-rajat> yeah we are ignoring reno's in that patch
14:31:16 <whoami-rajat> for some jobs
14:31:28 <rosmaita> ph
14:31:33 <rosmaita> i mean, oh
14:32:00 <whoami-rajat> or maybe not, I'm not sure i understand that patch totally
14:32:30 <rosmaita> yeah, that may be an unrelated change
14:33:03 <rosmaita> the "adding reno.yaml to the ignored files for some jobs" part, i mean
14:33:33 <whoami-rajat> but i don't understand how that is fixing the sphinx issue
14:34:00 <rosmaita> me neither, i am just being hopeful :D
14:34:04 <eharney> i think it's excluding more branches from what reno looks at
14:34:04 <whoami-rajat> :D
14:34:42 <whoami-rajat> yeah, all the EOL and EOM branches
14:34:47 <whoami-rajat> oh i think i understand
14:35:02 <whoami-rajat> the initial patch with the correct bug reference was merged before Zed
14:35:06 <whoami-rajat> and the buggy releasenote in Zed
14:35:11 <whoami-rajat> so if we ignore the original one
14:35:18 <whoami-rajat> we don't have an issue anymore
14:35:25 <whoami-rajat> i mean no duplicates
14:36:18 <whoami-rajat> at least that's my understanding of why the job passes on that patch
14:36:26 <whoami-rajat> but then it won't fix the actual issue
14:36:55 <happystacker> this may be the reason why the output is different from a failing/non failing job?
14:37:26 <happystacker> that's unclear to me
14:38:06 <happystacker> examples: https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/build/1e130508f36b4999a1bfa3e1edfb9900/console is successful
14:38:19 <happystacker> this one is not https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/build/6cc53d7dbf8a4cd4afccb190e4c69d01/console
14:38:50 <rosmaita> so, tox -e releasenotes works for me locally on a fresh pull from master (which doesn't include https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/911329 )
14:41:15 <whoami-rajat> gate uses Sphinx v7.2.6
14:41:25 <whoami-rajat> is it the same in your local env?
14:42:02 <rosmaita> yep
14:42:05 <eharney> it is for me where i noted the same above
14:42:37 <whoami-rajat> oh okay, not sure what's going on with gate then
14:42:48 <whoami-rajat> but i feel this unmaintained transition has something to do with it
14:44:14 <whoami-rajat> anyways, if someone comes up with a solution, please ping me or the other cores in the #openstack-cinder channel and we can approve the fix
14:44:35 <whoami-rajat> if possible today would be good since tomorrow we will have patches to cut stable/2024.1 branch
14:46:02 <whoami-rajat> that's all i had for this topic
14:46:24 <whoami-rajat> we don't have any other topics so lets move to open discussion
14:46:27 <whoami-rajat> #topic open discussion
14:46:48 <inori> Hi, I'm a developer for Fujitsu driver. Now we are in the process of submitting our code to the community as quickly as possible, and Brain's comments on https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/898199 are also being addressed accordingly. Could you please conduct the review in the order of the relation chain?
14:47:04 <whoami-rajat> there is a review request from Takashi to merge some driver deprecation
14:47:06 <whoami-rajat> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/907346
14:47:11 <whoami-rajat> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/894237
14:47:53 <happystacker> I confirm that Dell SC, VNX and XtremIO are now EOL
14:48:09 <happystacker> So I'm good with this proposal
14:48:29 <whoami-rajat> thanks happystacker for confirming, we can go ahead with the merge once gate situation is addressed
14:48:53 <whoami-rajat> inori, does the relation chain contain patches for features as well?
14:48:56 <happystacker> sure, I'll add a comment in the patch to confirm so that we don't lose this information
14:49:04 <whoami-rajat> ++
14:49:31 <happystacker> done
14:49:41 <inori> yes, the relation chain contain patches for features and bugs fix etc.
14:50:20 <Rahman-LB> I've a couple of review requests, waiting for someone to review and help me close these.  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/903573   https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/os-brick/+/903574
14:50:29 <whoami-rajat> okay, we can review the patches but the features will be a part of 2024.2 cycle which is the next after we release 2024.1
14:50:33 <whoami-rajat> just a note ^
14:50:59 <Rahman-LB> sure.
14:51:00 <inori> I see. Thank you whoami-rajat.
14:51:15 <cuiyeliu> Hi,everyone, I am from Dell, and I have two patches that need core reviewers vote:   https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/898188 https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/901147
14:51:38 <Luzi> if you have some spare time and is willing to wrap their head around this, i would appreciate comments on https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder-specs/+/909195
14:52:56 <happystacker> BTW, our Dell PowerMax CI is now back online, so all CI targeted this system should be triggered. I forgot to mention that before.
14:53:14 <whoami-rajat> Luzi, iwould recommend to submit the patch in 2024.2 specs directory, that will help preserve the reviews for the next entire cycle
14:53:31 <Luzi> okay i will do it whoami-rajat
14:53:35 <whoami-rajat> jbernard, sorry to bother you again but do we have a specs directory for 2024.2 ?
14:53:53 <jbernard> checking
14:54:26 <jbernard> no, ill create one today
14:54:48 <jbernard> Luzi: ill ping you when it's done
14:54:53 <whoami-rajat> thanks jbernard , let me know once it's created and i can approve it
14:54:59 <jbernard> k
14:57:39 <tosky> just asking for a quick quick review on a cleanup patch for cinder-tempest-plugin (which should have a dedicated review day for cinder-tempest-plugin IMHO at some point): https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder-tempest-plugin/+/840776
15:00:12 <whoami-rajat> tosky, done, and thanks for keeping the tempest plugin active!
