The __future__ module [1] was used in this context to ensure compatibility between python 2 and python 3. We previously dropped the support of python 2.7 [2] and now we only support python 3 so we don't need to continue to use this module and the imports listed below. Imports commonly used and their related PEPs: - `division` is related to PEP 238 [3] - `print_function` is related to PEP 3105 [4] - `unicode_literals` is related to PEP 3112 [5] - `with_statement` is related to PEP 343 [6] - `absolute_import` is related to PEP 328 [7] [1] https://docs.python.org/3/library/__future__.html [2] https://governance.openstack.org/tc/goals/selected/ussuri/drop-py27.html [3] https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0238 [4] https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3105 [5] https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3112 [6] https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0343 [7] https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0328 Change-Id: Icc115b2271a6fd84f3952b03406250367babd273 |

Using diskimage-builder to build devstack-gate nodes
In addition to being able to just download and consume images that are the same as what run devstack-gate, it's easy to make your own for local dev or testing - or just for fun.
Install diskimage-builder
Install the dependencies:
sudo apt-get install kpartx qemu-utils curl python-yaml debootstrap
Install diskimage-builder:
sudo -H pip install diskimage-builder
Build an image
Building an image is simple, we have a script!
bash tools/build-image.sh
See the script for environment variables to set distribution, etc. By default it builds an ubuntu-minimal based image. You should be left with a .qcow2 image file of your selected distribution.
Infra uses the -minimal build type for building Ubuntu/CentOS/Fedora. For example: ubuntu-minimal.
It is a good idea to set TMP_DIR
to somewhere with
plenty of space to avoid the disappointment of a full-disk mid-way
through the script run.
While testing, consider exporting DIB_OFFLINE=true, to skip updating the cache.
Mounting the image
If you would like to examine the contents of the image, you can mount it on a loopback device using qemu-nbd.
sudo apt-get install qemu-utils
sudo modprobe nbd max_part=16
sudo mkdir -p /tmp/newimage
sudo qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd1 /path/to/devstack-gate-precise.qcow2
sudo mount /dev/nbd1p1 /tmp/newimage
or use the scripts
sudo apt-get install qemu-utils
sudo modprobe nbd max_part=16
sudo tools/mount-image.sh devstack-gate-precise.qcow2
sudo tools/umount-image.sh
Other things
It's a qcow2 image, so you can do tons of things with it. You can upload it to glance, you can boot it using kvm, and you can even copy it to a cloud server, replace the contents of the server with it and kexec the new kernel.
