[zuul-jobs] Dropping support for ensure-cabal and ensure-haskell-stack
by Tristan Cacqueray 23 Aug '23

23 Aug '23

Dear Zuulers, Since ghcup is the new recommended installer for the Haskell toolchain, I propose to remove the legacy roles in this change: https://review.opendev.org/c/zuul/zuul-jobs/+/847111 This only affects external playbooks using the ensure-cabal and ensure-haskell-stack roles directly. These tasks are now performed by the ensure-ghc role. The change is scheduled to land in two weeks from now, on 2023-09-05. With regards, -Tristan

Deleting the zuul-jobs nox-py27 job on September 5, 2023
by Clark Boylan 23 Aug '23

23 Aug '23

We discovered recently that the zuul-jobs nox-py27 job stopped working because nox depends on virtualenv and new virtualenv releases don't support python2.7 virtualenvs. A workaround for this was merged, but it brought up the question of whether or not we need the job in the first place. Python 2.7 is quickly on its way out now. Debian Bookworm does not include any Python 2.7 packages. We could only find one project using this job in OpenDev's Zuul instance. This led to the realization that we probably don't need this job if it isn't well used and has been broken for some time. As a result we will delete the nox-py27 job entirely on September 5, 2023. This gives everyone two weeks to migrate away from it. The change has already been proposed [0]. You can provide feedback there or in response to this email if necessary.

Zuul 9.1.0 released
by James E. Blair 23 Aug '23

23 Aug '23

The Zuul team is announces the release of Zuul 9.1.0. Download it from PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/zuul Find container images at: https://quay.io/organization/zuul-ci The release notes, included below, are also available in the documentation with hyperlink references: https://zuul-ci.org/docs/zuul/9.1.0/releasenotes.html New Features ============ * A new job attribute, ansible-split-streams has been added to instruct Zuul to keep stdout and stderr separate when running Ansible command tasks. Deprecation Notes ================= * Zuul is changing the behavior of its customized Ansible command module to match the standard Ansible behavior. The previous behavior and current default is to combine stdout and stderr streams. In a later Zuul release, the ansible-split-streams default value will change from false to true in order to match the standard Ansible behavior and keep the streams separate. A further Zuul release will remove the option altogether. Bug Fixes ========= * Ansible task failures in block/rescue stanzas could cause Zuul to erroneously trigger early-failure behavior for the build, which could result in inconsistent behavior in a dependent pipeline. Task failures in Ansible blocks are no longer considered for early failure detection, and if a build encounters an early failure, it will cause the build result to be reported as a failure in all cases.

Nodepool 9.0.0 released
by James E. Blair 17 Aug '23

17 Aug '23

The Zuul team is pleased to announce the release of Zuul 9.0.0. Download it from PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/nodepool Find container images at: https://quay.io/organization/zuul-ci The release notes, included below, are also available in the documentation with hyperlink references: https://zuul-ci.org/docs/nodepool/9.0.0/releasenotes.html New Features ============ * The AWS driver now supports importing images using either the "image" or "snapshot" import methods. The "snapshot" method is the current behavior and remains the default and is the fastest and most efficient in most circumstances. The "image" method is available for images which require certain AWS licensing metadata that can only be added via that method. * The AWS driver now supports launching Amazon EC2 Spot instances (https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/spot/), when specifying providers.[aws].pools.labels.use-spot. * Many more drivers now report metrics for leaked resources. * The OpenStack driver now supports volume quota. It will automatically register the limits from the cloud and ensure that labels that utilize boot-from-volume stay under the limit. Limits can also be specified at the pool and tenant level in Nodepool’s configuration. * Add support for requesting gpu resources in kubernetes and openshift drivers. * Added support for specifying Kubernetes and OpenShift pod resource limits separately from requests. * Added support for specifying the scheduler name, additional metadata, and volume mounts in Kubernetes and OpenShift drivers. Upgrade Notes ============= * New diskimage build ids are now in UUID format instead of integer sequences with leading zeroes. This facilitates faster restoration of images from backup data on systems with large numbers of image builds. Existing builds will continue to use the integer format and can coexist with the new format. * Python 3.11 is now the only version of Python with which Nodepool is tested. * Nodepool now requires ZooKeeper version 3.6.0 or later (note that at the time of this writing, the oldest supported ZooKeeper version is later than that).

Zuul 9.0.0 released
by James E. Blair 17 Aug '23

17 Aug '23

The Zuul team is pleased to announce the release of Zuul 9.0.0. Download it from PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/zuul Find container images at: https://quay.io/organization/zuul-ci The release notes, included below, are also available in the documentation with hyperlink references: https://zuul-ci.org/docs/zuul/9.0.0/releasenotes.html New Features ============ * Ansible version 8 is now available. The default Ansible version is still 6, but version 8 may be selected by using job.ansible-version. * Support for using AWS Kinesis as an event source has been added to the Gerrit driver. * A new job variable, zuul.commit_id has been added. This provides a stable identifier for all types of pipeline queue items (changes, refs, tags, or branches) from any driver to identify the commit which triggered the queue item. This can be used to interface with external systems which identify changes by commit. * Zuul will now begin the process of aborting following jobs and re-ordering pipelines immediately after the first Ansible task fails. * Support for using Kafka as an event source has been added to the Gerrit driver. * A new tenant project configuration option, implied-branch-matchers has been added. This is useful in conjunction with the branch exclusion options which may cause Zuul to change behavior as the set of load branches switches between one and more than one. The operator can fix the appropriate behavior in the tenant config file rather than relying on the heuristic in these cases. * A new Zuul job variable zuul_will_retry available in post and cleanup playbooks, which indicates whether the current job will be retried. Upgrade Notes ============= * Python 3.11 is now the only version of Python with which Zuul is tested. Bug Fixes ========= * Duplicate queue configuration items are now permitted on multiple branches of the same project as long as their configuration is identical. Similar to secrets and semaphores, this can help avoid spurious configuration errors when branching a project with in-repo configuration.
