Prepare 3.0-beta2 release?

[Rudolph Bott]

Hey Everyone,

since releasing the 3.0-beta1 a bunch of things have been added/fixed, but no larger issues/regressions have been reported. So I guess it is time for another beta release?

A quick overview of the changes incorporated since the beta1 release:

- various documentation related PRs [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]

- make Open vSwitch support more robust [9]

- (better) support for DRBD 8.4 [10]

- set base GHC version and fix Haskell tooling usage [12] [13] [14] [15]

- fix distribution of hmac.key to new nodes [16]

- do not override disk_cache setting for RBD disks [17]

From my point of view, there are no release-critical issues/PRs open. That means we could push forward with a beta2 and probably release the final 3.0 version two or three weeks later. 

What do you think?

Cheers,

Rudi

Thanks for beginning this thread. Agreed, the next release should happen
more sooner than later. Apollon introduced the idea of doing an RC rather
than an other beta, which I do support. Ideally Apollon can do the release
this time?

From my point of view, the final 3.0 should be at the end of September,
like you suggest.

Thanks, Sascha.

I should have mentioned, that Apollon asked for testing of Debian Bug
#969028 with qemu-5.0 (from backports), regarding live migration in
combination with migration capabilities[1]. But I can't find any issues
beside the known one, that post-copy migration is broken.

I'm also not aware of any critical issues.

Thanks, Sascha.

Good to know. Then I guess the Debian bug is about RAM postcopy, which
is known not to work.

Okay then, I guess we should move forward and release -rc1 (there's no
point for a -beta2) this Friday. There's only one thing I'd like to fix
before 3.0-final, because it bit us yesterday at work: Ganeti's naive
handling of DRBD split-brain situations, as described in #846[0]. This
is a fairly old issue, not easy to reproduce, but dangerous
nevertheless.

Cheers,
Apollon
