NB: There's also in-progress work to allow configuring libvirt / QEMU from source tar balls, as an external DevStack plugin: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/313568/ -- Plugin to setup libvirt/QEMU from tar releases It was originally proposed (now abandoned, in favour of the above) as a patch to DevStack proper, but was abandoned, as it was suggested to make it as external plugin: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/108714/ > > References: > [1] https://github.com/openstack/devstack-plugin-additional-pkg-repos/ > [2] > https://github.com/openstack-infra/project-config/blob/master/jenkins/jobs/devstack-gate.yaml#L565-L595 > -- /kashyap __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
