[PKG-Openstack-devel] Bug#892420: nova: please make the build reproducible

[Thomas Goirand]

Hi Chris,

It is very nice of you to attempt to upstream the reproducible build
patches for OpenStack. While it did work for Gnocchi (which is now away
from the "normal" OpenStack infrastructure), it didn't for Nova, as it's
not really using Github.

Code from git.openstack.org is only pushed to github as a copy of the
original code, and to send a patch, you have to use "git review" and
Gerrit. You also need to sign the CLA (unfortunately). If you have never
contributed to OpenStack before make sure you have read the getting
started documentation:
http://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html#getting-started

The way to do it once you've created a new Gerrit username (as per
above) is to install git-review on your machine, simply make a Git
commit as usual, and then just type "git review". This will open a patch
review process in upstream OpenStack.

I have therefore forwarded your patch here:

https://review.openstack.org/551269

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
