Description Lee Yarwood 2019-02-21 13:36:14 UTC

This clone is being used to track the os-vif work to remove this dependency on bridge_utils:

brctl is obsolete use ip
https://bugs.launchpad.net/os-vif/+bug/1801919

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1673612 +++

Description of problem:

kolla specified bridge-utils for nova-base container.  That package is not available in RHEL 8.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


Actual results:

container can not build with bridge-utils included because it can not be found

Expected results:

template overrides to drop or explicit RFE to build bridge-utils in OSP 15


Additional info:

--- Additional comment from  on 2019-02-07 16:10:28 UTC ---

brctl is a hard dependency of os-vif for neutron networking with ml2/ovs and the iptables firewall driver.
https://github.com/openstack/os-vif/blob/master/vif_plug_ovs/linux_net.py#L103-L122
it is also a dependency for os-vif for linuxbridge.
https://github.com/openstack/os-vif/blob/master/vif_plug_linux_bridge/linux_net.py#L126-L128

additionally there are some code paths in nova related to nova networks that also use require brctl.

i have added os-vif to https://bugs.launchpad.net/os-vif/+bug/1801919
we have until feb 27th at the latest to fully remove the dependcy and relase os-vif
ideally we will try and complete this by febuary 22nd.

if it is not completed by the 27th we will need to package bridge-utils for rhel-8

Comment 1 smooney 2019-02-25 21:37:02 UTC

a quick update on this
https://review.openstack.org/#/q/status:merged+project:openstack/os-vif+branch:master+topic:bug/1801919
the upstream patches are merged and we will do a tommorow morning US time.

we had planned to do the release of os-vif today but we are holding for another 12-18 hours
to allow one more feature to land.

i have a upstream mail tread for the release of os-vif 
http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2019-February/003115.html
and ill will be updating it shortly stating which patch we are waiting.

Comment 2 smooney 2019-02-27 11:09:39 UTC

os-vif 1.15.0 has now been released without brctl requirement so we can proably remove the blocker flag.
https://pypi.org/project/os-vif/#history
the donwstream repo will need to be sync form upstream and the compose rebuilt.

Comment 6 smooney 2019-03-04 18:21:40 UTC

note we discoverd a minor bug in os-vif 1.15.0 and corrected it in os-vif 1.15.1 so os-vif 1.15.1 should be used as the min version for osp15

Comment 11 Joe H. Rahme 2019-08-06 15:53:31 UTC

This is covered by our standard regression testing.
