Zed Series Release Notes¶
18.0.0.0b1-126¶
New Features¶
You can set a private repository for epel, you must use
repo_centos_epel_mirror
for the repo URL and if you need to get the GPG key from intranet or a mirror userepo_centos_epel_key
for gpg key location.
Upgrade Notes¶
The use of the nginx package repository on RedHat derived operating systems is no longer required as there is a new enough version of the nginx package in the standard distro repos now. The variables
repo_centos_nginx_mirror
andrepo_centos_nginx_key
are removed from the repo_server role and no longer have any effect.
The repo server no longer uses pypiserver, so it has been removed. Along with this, the following variables have also been removed.
repo_pypiserver_port
repo_pypiserver_pip_packages
repo_pypiserver_package_path
repo_pypiserver_bin
repo_pypiserver_working_dir
repo_pypiserver_start_options
repo_pypiserver_init_overrides
Deprecation Notes¶
The repo server’s reverse proxy for pypi has now been removed, leaving only the pypiserver to serve packages already on the repo server. The attempt to reverse proxy upstream pypi turned out to be very unstable with increased complexity for deployers using proxies or offline installs. With this, the variables
repo_nginx_pypi_upstream
andrepo_nginx_proxy_cache_path
have also been removed.
The package cache on the repo server has been removed. If caching of packages is desired, it should be setup outside of OpenStack-Ansible and the variable
lxc_container_cache_files
(for LXC containers) ornspawn_container_cache_files_from_host
(for nspawn containers) can be used to copy the appropriate host configuration from the host into the containers on creation. Alternatively, environment variables can be set to use the cache in the host /etc/environment file prior to container creation, or thedeployment_environment_variables
can have the right variables set to use it. The following variables have been removed.repo_pkg_cache_enabled
repo_pkg_cache_port
repo_pkg_cache_bind
repo_pkg_cache_dirname
repo_pkg_cache_dir
repo_pkg_cache_owner
repo_pkg_cache_group
The variable
repo_requires_pip_packages
is no longer required and has therefore been removed.
