[Debian-ha-maintainers] Debian HA <-> Ubuntu HA sync & help

[Rafael David Tinoco]

Hello HA maintainers,

This is Rafael, I'm an ubuntu server developer. I'm currently 
syncing/merging HA packages into ubuntu-next (20.04), its the beginning 
of our merge window and I wanted to check out what is the best way for 
me to help the HA maintainers.

Would it be okay just to do merge requests through salsa ? Is there a 
list of things you would like to be done, possibly with priorities ? I'm 
also thinking in expanding some of the existing DEP8 tests during those 
merges.

# possible upstream syncs:

corosync (unstable to v3.0.2-23-g721c5d4b)
pacemaker (unstable to - 2.0.3-rc1 or 2.0.2)
resource-agents (ubuntu sync to unstable 4.4.0-1)
drbd-utils (unstable from v9.5.0-1 to v9.11.0)
ocfs2-tools (unstable to ocfs2-tools-1.8.6-4-g8b3dad1d)
keepalived (unstable from v2.0.10-1 to v2.0.19)
crmsh (unstable to 4.1.0-37-g6f2c8ea9)
pcs (unstable to 0.10.3-46-g170b06cb OR 0.10.3)

OBS: of course I know there isn't the need or the will to update to 
latest upstream, but, sometimes might be wanted by you, I'm not sure if 
it would.

I'm also creating HA documentation for our manuals, maybe, if you're 
okay, I could it for Debian and then just wrap it into the ubuntu manual 
(this way documentation delta is minimized). Idea is to adapt clusters 
from scratch to "supported  deployments" (appropriate # of nodes / 
fencing / stonith / quorum devices) and examples.

Our idea is to keep "pcs" tool as the default tool for our 
documentation, using it on all examples of the "manual" to be created.

At the end, idea here is just a major "can I help ?! if yes, where ?!" 
heads up, and to inform I'll be dedicating a good part of my time to HA 
packages for in ubuntu, and thought I could do the same for the community.

Looking forward to helping.
Best,
Rafael
