This is a long mail but there is a lot to cover...
Stretch
======
Debian Stretch is expected to be released on June 17 2017:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2017/05/msg00002.html
As has been mentioned on this list before - admins MUST check the apt
sources for all machines *NOW* to ensure that all your Debian apt
sources are pointing at 'jessie' NOT 'stable' if you are to be able to
manage the upgrade yourself.
What you want in /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* is:
deb http://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/debian jessie main
deb http://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/debian jessie-backports main
(The mirror you choose is up to you.)
If you find any apt sources referencing 'stable' or 'testing' CHANGE
THESE NOW or those systems could automatically upgrade to Stretch or
Buster respectively on 17th June.
As with all such releases, production machines are recommended to
allow some time for final testing before doing the upgrade. The
Cambridge LAVA lab is expected to upgrade from Jessie to Stretch
during August 2017. The LAVA software team have been doing testing of
this upgrade for some time, without issues. However, real machines
with extra packages and local admin configuration cannot be tested in
this way, so each lab should take some time to plan when and how to do
the upgrade. (Hint: have a backup and check that it can be restored
correctly before starting.)
https://validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/admin-backups.html
There has been a fix for lava-server in stretch to smooth the upgrade
for those users who have not installed lava-server from
jessie-backports. Those already running 2017.* are not affected by
this change and can continue using jessie-backports and the LAVA
repositories as before. Stretch will release with lava-server
2016.12-2 and python-django 1:1.10.7-2
Once Stretch is released, Debian testing will be called 'buster',
Debian stable will be 'stretch' and Debian oldstable will be 'jessie'.
At a later date, jessie-backports will be opened again and a new
stretch-backports will become available. New LAVA production releases
will be uploaded to unstable to migrate into testing (buster) and then
be backported to stretch-backports and jessie-backports. The LAVA
repositories will be updated as well.
Support for jessie-backports will continue after stretch-backports
support is added but cannot continue indefinitely. At some point, all
instances will need to have moved to Stretch to continue getting
updates of LAVA. (Prior to the process of releasing Debian Buster, the
jessie packages will be dropped from the archive, including
jessie-backports.)
Changes in LAVA repositories
=======================
2017.6 will be released in the same way as previous releases in 2017 -
to the LAVA repository for use on jessie using jessie-backports.
At a later point, 2017.6 will be uploaded to Debian unstable for
migration into testing (buster). Only developers should install that
version as Debian unstable can be problematic in the first few weeks
after a Debian stable release.
There are changes in how the lava packages are built on jessie versus
on stretch, so the lava repositories will be split. I'll be updating
the documentation in 2017.6 to cover the changes required to help
admins use the new suites. There will be a new jessie-backports suite
and a new stretch-backports suite. The existing 'sid' or unstable
suite will have no uploads after 2017.6.
This will be covered again in the 2017.6 release email and again with
2017.7. For now, no changes are required.
Once the new suites are announced, admins who choose to upgrade to
Stretch would use the stretch-backports suite from the LAVA
repository.
deb https://images.validation.linaro.org/production-repo stretch-backports main
Those who will upgrade later, would use jessie-backports from the LAVA
repository.
deb https://images.validation.linaro.org/production-repo jessie-backports main
The purpose of these suites is to allow admins to choose to upgrade to
the latest production release for jessie or stretch without waiting
for the migration of the packages into Debian testing and the
subsequent uploads to backports. The packages are otherwise the same.
Django
======
Longer term, there have been a lot of discussions within Debian about
managing django releases. The plan is that only django LTS releases
will be available in Debian unstable, testing and therefore stable
after the Stretch release. Non-LTS releases will only be available in
Debian experimental. This means that lava-server will migrate from one
django LTS to the next django LTS with future Debian releases. The
LAVA software team will manage how deprecation cycles within django
affect lava-server.
This does have the issue that the version of django in Debian stable
will be towards the end of the upstream support cycle but it is better
than having a non LTS django release in Debian stable. Synchronising
releases across multiple upstream teams is not feasible.
The next django LTS release after 1.8 is 1.11 which is expected to be
in the next Debian stable release - buster.
https://www.djangoproject.com/download/
Python3
========
The last django LTS release to support python2.7 will be 1.11 LTS
which retains upstream security and data loss bug fix support until at
least April 2020.
The LAVA software team have already been testing lava-dispatcher V2
with python3. Once the V1 code is removed from lava-server, testing
will proceed for lava-server too. We fully expect to be able to
support lava-dispatcher V2 and lava-server V2 on python2.7 and python3
for a limited time.
There will never be python3 support in lava-dispatcher V1 or lava-server V1.
Python2.7 support for lava-dispatcher V2 and lava-server V2 will be
removed at some point prior to the release of the next django LTS
after 1.11 which is 2.2 LTS, due in April 2019.
Once django 2.0 (non-LTS) arrives in Debian experimental, the LAVA
software team will begin testing lava-dispatcher V2 and lava-server V2
with python3. For some period in 2018, both python2 and python3 will
be supportable but only when building local developer packages. LAVA
production releases will stay on python2.7 during testing with
python3. Once we are happy that python3 support is ready, there will
be an email to this list and the following production release will
provide only python3 packages. This change will be transparent for
most instances, the upgrade will simply pull in a lot of python3
packages and the python2 packages will be left unused.
Reviews and contributions to lava-dispatcher V2 already run the unit
tests with python3 and once the V1 code is removed, this will start to
happen with the lava-server code as well.
LAVA can move to python3 at any time once the V1 code is removed - all
the necessary support is already available in Jessie. LAVA will have
to move to python3 before django 2.2LTS is the only version of django
released in Debian stable.
Details of how this will be managed are yet to be defined. We expect
to continue parallel support of python2.7 and python3 for a limited
time.
It is likely that support for jessie-backports would need to cease
before support for both python2.7 and python3 is included, just to
manage to matrix of builds and tests. LAVA can support python3 using
django 1.11LTS but must drop support for python2.7 to support django
2.2LTS.
Summary

jessie-backports
============
New package update required from jessie-backports.
sudo apt -t jessie-backports install python-voluptuous
This package is used to check the submission schema of V2 test jobs.
It is already installed for V2 support but 2017.5 requires an updated
version which already exists in jessie-backports. For a smooth upgrade
ensure this package is upgraded as above before installing 2017.5.
As with previous releases since 2016.12, the 2017.5 release is only
available from the lava repositories:
https://validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/installing_on_debian.html#lava…
New device-type templates
===================
2017.5 includes a lot of new device-type templates and a number of V1
device-type configurations. These have been contributed to LAVA, as
part of the support for KernelCI, by community members. Many thanks to
all those who have contributed device-type support for this release.
Action names and effects on timeouts
===========================
2017.5 makes the individual names of actions in the source code
consistent across all classes and deployments. Where previously
power_off was available as an action name which could be specified in
timeouts and protocols, that action name now uses a hyphen instead of
the underscore, power-off. The same change has been made for all
classes across the V2 lava-dispatcher codebase. Future changes will
only be accepted using a hyphen to separate words, not underscores or
other characters.
This change affects V2 jinja2 templates as well as V2 test jobs (if
those jobs override the action timeout or call an action using
protocols.

=============

http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
For 2017.5, we are planning on changing all of the action names
(self.name) to use hyphens to separate words instead of the current
mix of hyphens and underscores. This is to make future support more
consistent.
All V2 templates currently in upstream will pick up these changes as
part of the review process.
Any V2 templates which are not upstream and which reference timeouts
for specific actions may need adaptation, however, note that 2017.5
also moves a lot of the timeout settings to base.jinja2 anyway.
If you have test jobs which reference specific actions, these will
need changes too.
We're implementing a change in the dispatcher codebase which verifies
that underscore is not used in the self.name of any class inheriting
from Action, so all code reviews will also need updating.

This interim release includes a small set of fixes aimed at the LKFT
instance and HiKey support using LXC.
If your instance uses the pre_os_command support for fastboot with LXC
(not just pre_power_command), then note that this support now needs to
be called from within the LXC protocol.
See https://lkft.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/885/definition#defline77
for an example.
Changes:
lava-dispatcher (2017.4.post1-1) unstable; urgency=medium

V2 healthcheck changes
======================
https://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/lava-announce/2017-March/000027.html
This support has now been delivered in 2017.4 using the lava-server
manage migrate-health-checks command. If used, the --clean option will
remove the old definition from the database for the device-type.
https://staging.validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/healthchecks.html#inde…
There is also a new migration status page to help admins track which
devices still need to be migrated to V2.
Branding message
================
The branding support now includes a message which can be added to the
home page for the instance. For example, a short message to describe
the main purpose of that instance.
Reminder about the LAVA repositories
====================================
Until Debian Stretch has been released and the new testing suite
(called buster) is open for new uploads, new production releases of
LAVA will only be available from the
images.validation.linaro.org/production-repo repository.
See https://validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/installing_on_debian.html#lava…

2017.4 will deliver support for migrating V2 health checks out of the
database and into /etc/lava-server/dispatcher-config/health-checks/ on
the master. This has several benefits for admins.
* Health checks from 2017.4 onwards will be based on the device
configuration, not the device type. This applies to V1 devices and V2
devices.
* Multiple instances can all have the same V2 health checks controlled
in VCS using configuration management tools.
* V2 devices of the same device-type can have different V2 health
checks according to the Jinja2 template specified in the extends field
of the device dictionary. Submissions to such devices would need to be
managed through device tags.
* Devices which are V1 only (is_pipeline is False in the django admin
interface) will continue to use V1 health checks from the database,
based on the device-type.
* Devices which support V2 (whether these devices are exclusive to V2
or not) will only use V2 health checks from the filesystem, based on
the device dictionary of each device.
This does mean that devices which are currently both V1 and V2 will
need to have a V2 health check from 2017.4 onwards or the device will
no longer run a health check at all. Admins may choose to submit and
monitor regular V1 testjobs until all test jobs for those devices are
V2 but those test jobs will not be able to take the device offline
automatically.

http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
There is a bug in python-lockfile available from jessie-backports:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=858835
This affects fresh installs of LAVA when LAVA is installed directly
from jessie-backports without first being installed in jessie.
The underlying problem is with apt which pulls in the updated version
of packages which have a backport available even if the requested
package does not explicitly ask for the backport of that package.
The problem shows up with lava-coordinator first - the package fails
to install cleanly because the daemon cannot be started correctly.
To fix this problem, simply instruct apt to install python-lockfile
from jessie, not from jessie-backports:
apt install python-lockfile=1:0.8-2
lava-coordinator will then install correctly.
This change will persist over later upgrades as apt does not consider
jessie-backports as upgrades of jessie - except in the case where the
package is not yet installed.
Other daemons also now need to be restarted:
$ sudo service lava-server restart
$ sudo service lava-master restart
$ sudo service lava-slave restart
Future builds for the staging-repo and production-repo will force only
version 1:0.8-2 of python-lockfile as these builds are done on and for
jessie.
Systems already running Stretch or unstable do not seem to be affected
and can safely use python-lockfile at version 1:0.12.2-2 - this is a
particular problem inside jessie-backports. However, this does mean
that until this bug is fixed, users running Stretch or unstable should
build their own developer packages instead of using the LAVA
repositories on images.validation.linaro.org. We currently do not have
capacity to build separate packages for jessie and stretch.
(LAVA does not recommend using Stretch or unstable for production
systems until Stretch has been released and stretch-backports becomes
available.)

Enable the LAVA repository
====================
2016.12 will be the last chance to update of lava-server and
lava-dispatcher into Debian Stretch before the release as Debian 9.0.
This means that users of jessie-backports should now enable the LAVA
production repository - see
https://validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/installing_on_debian.html#lava…https://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/lava-announce/2016-November/000019.html
Until Debian makes the 9.0 release, jessie-backports cannot receive
updates of the LAVA releases in 2017, so all updates will only be
available from the LAVA repositories. Shortly after the release, a new
stretch-backports suite will become available and jessie-backports
will be opened again.
In accordance with the Debian freeze policy, it will take 10 days for
the new uploads to migrate into stretch, not the previous 5, so an
upload to jessie-backports will be made at that time.
Note: this may be an issue for armhf or arm64 workers - if you are
using such workers, let us know so that we can prioritise the changes
required to build lava-dispatcher for those architectures.
Updates from jessie-backports
======================
A few updates are required from jessie-backports with 2016.12: lxc and
python-pyudev
The lxc update ensures that jessie and stretch containers can be
correctly created on jessie.
The pyudev support enables lava-dispatcher to monitor udev activity
for certain operations.
These updates can be applied before installing 2016.12, if desired:
$ sudo apt install -t jessie-backports lxc python-pyudev
lava-tool
======
A new version of lava-tool is also available, including a new way of
handling the authentication tokens and the ability to use shortcuts
(like "local" instead of "http://localhost/RPC2").
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/lava-toolhttps://tracker.debian.org/news/825902
The new version of lava-tool is available via the LAVA staging and
production repositories and the package available in jessie-backports
will be updated in due course.
Unfortunately, it proved not to be possible to export the existing
authentication secrets into the new backend or to support both
backends simultaneously. All users will need to re-add all their
authentication tokens to use lava-tool after this upgrade. The change
has several benefits, including the ability to list and remove
authentication configurations using the new backend and the removal of
a whole host of problems related to using the old backend in
environments where lava-tool was not running in a full terminal. In
addition, this new backend allows lava-tool to support shortcuts which
prevent problems with repetitively entering long and complex URLs.
On installing the new upgrade, users will see the NEWS message:
https://github.com/Linaro/pkg-lava-tool/blob/master/debian/NEWS
lava-tool has changed the backend for token storage.
This means that existing authentications will not be usable to this
new version. This change has been made to fix persistent problems with
the python-keyring support, including:
* DBus errors when used over SSH
* Interaction with gnome-keyring causing authentication failure
* Inability to list or remove authentications added to the keyring
* Inability to work with other keyring solutions.
The new backend is able to list and remove authentications. The new
support also removes the need for a default password on the user
keyring, so lava-tool will no longer pause waiting for password
entry.
