It does appear that commits have dropped off to zero since the end of April https://github.com/Juniper/contrail-installer/graphs/contributors
It’s also a bit odd that this repo is on GitHub only rather than being a mirror of Gerrit. I’m not clear on what the reasoning is behind some repos being only on GitHub while other repos have the authoritative source on Gerrit and an automated mirror from Gerrit to GitHub.

In absence of "getting started" documentation, it definitely was not easy. There is a contrail-installer repo but seems to be little outdated. With no support for MITAKA and earlier releases of devstack, it makes things more difficult. We tried pushing a fix to the repo but there was didn’t get response on the pull request https://github.com/Juniper/contrail-installer/pull/147<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_Juniper_contrail-2Dinstaller_pull_147&d=DwQFaQ&c=LFYZ-o9_HUMeMTSQicvjIg&r=xtmPik_TP2fjPVGWP4yBRQ&m=yEARNo_bph8KGjEjDPNf-01YZhFn5bN9cQSUBrXLimE&s=NkwdROTC1ZmUzH1ZzThfOxSWJ7HYZIz5YeBIIU13fQU&e=> Eventually, we wrote a couple of scripts and repos as a stopgap solution to get things started. This hacks around a few of the issues to have a working devstack-all-in-one-node. We are working on contributing by fixing issues and documenting relevant getting-started steps. For now, if it helps, you can try using https://github.com/nasim-techtrueup/contrail-devstack<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_nasim-2Dtechtrueup_contrail-2Ddevstack&d=DwQFaQ&c=LFYZ-o9_HUMeMTSQicvjIg&r=xtmPik_TP2fjPVGWP4yBRQ&m=yEARNo_bph8KGjEjDPNf-01YZhFn5bN9cQSUBrXLimE&s=xuSHI2cjWO4RVgy_kjgOwnuS0oDMqHVJEDjJPSg5R6w&e=> which is working fairly well for mainline contrail + newton devstack on ubuntu14.04.2 build Best Regards, Nabeel From: Dev [mailto:dev-boun...@lists.opencontrail.org] On Behalf Of CARVER, PAUL Sent: Thursday, August 3, 2017 4:47 PM To: Abhijit Gadgil <gabhi...@iitbombay.org<mailto:gabhi...@iitbombay.org>>; dev@lists.opencontrail.org<mailto:dev@lists.opencontrail.org> Subject: Re: [opencontrail-dev] OpenContrail Quick Start You’re right that “getting started” documentation is a major area for improvement. We’ve got a new documentation repository where I hope we will be able to start consolidating the best information and weeding out the older and less accurate information, but currently it’s just a skeleton. https://review.opencontrail.org/34136<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__review.opencontrail.org_34136&d=DwMFaQ&c=LFYZ-o9_HUMeMTSQicvjIg&r=xtmPik_TP2fjPVGWP4yBRQ&m=yEARNo_bph8KGjEjDPNf-01YZhFn5bN9cQSUBrXLimE&s=auCIJpgaAk1ai-v7GiJjZ_wMueg3uNHu3R23QnSaQPM&e=> If you’ve kept good notes on what worked and what didn’t we would love to have your help in cleaning up and consolidating the stuff that worked. From: Dev [mailto:dev-boun...@lists.opencontrail.org] On Behalf Of Abhijit Gadgil Sent: Thursday, August 03, 2017 10:39 To: dev@lists.opencontrail.org<mailto:dev@lists.opencontrail.org> Subject: [opencontrail-dev] OpenContrail Quick Start Dear All, I am quite new to OpenContrail, but not so much to OpenStack or fiddling around vrtual networking in general. I am trying to bring up a single node OpenContrail. Something along the lines of `devstack`. Unfortunately, the documentation seems to be all over the place, for instance the Quick Start Guide looks quite dated and hard to follow. It took me a bit of a time to actually find out that there's a repo called `contrail-installer` that does something along the lines of what I want to do. I had a few troubles getting around the issues to make it run successfully on Ubuntu 16.04 (clearly the support doesn't exist, and looks like this project is not actively maintained), I have not yet completely gone past that issue - but using another approach I followed I am able to build the repository(ies). After stumbling upon the following document - http://juniper.github.io/contrail-vnc/README.html<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__juniper.github.io_contrail-2Dvnc_README.html&d=DwMFaQ&c=LFYZ-o9_HUMeMTSQicvjIg&r=xtmPik_TP2fjPVGWP4yBRQ&m=b7k-Tvrzapir03QSr1nFcNlK35bYBHB0hIZmOhlmXt4&s=TsYHkF9nxE0tFVAKlF0wIdLf6XtDJRC93Wy4Gl7TzCw&e=> I managed to eventually get everything to build (though the approach I followed was inspired from what is mentioned here, but not exactly those instructions). For instance, when you build everything - it starts with web-core which I am not so much interested at the moment. I have managed to build the vRouter agent and the kernel module. (along with almost everything from the contrail-controller repo). I have a couple of questions - 1. Was I really looking at right places? This seems to be a rather steep learning curve for someone working for the first time with OpenContrail. 2. If I am just interested in 'talking to agent somehow' and configuring the 'vrouter kernel module' to see what the datapath looks like - what should be the next logical step? Is it even trivially possible. I haven't looked at some of the unit-code tests yet, which I would probably next, but just wanted to learn if there's an alternate / better way. Thanks in advance. -abhijit
