Queens staging doesn't have updated client packages

[daniel.pawlik]

Some Openstack clients are not up-to-date with Queens release (https://releases.openstack.org/queens/index.html#service-client-projects)

Packages that have not been created for Queens release and are very outdated:
- python-novaclient

Clients that can be updated to the last release:
- python-glanceclient
- python-ironic-inspector-client
- python-ironicclient
- python-magnumclient
- python-manilaclient
- python-mistralclient
- python-pankoclient

Thanks for reporting this Daniel. We generally don't do stable point releases for clients. We do have options though. If there are specific bugs, then we can cherry-pick patches for those bugs.

For novaclient I think you were after multi-attach support: https://github.com/openstack/requirements/commit/66a2b0617c3eacd21726c35a556c2a2620a4b91b

This was unfortunately a major version bump after Queens released.

Do you happen to know what patches are needed for fixing this? Stable releases generally are limited to bug fixes to maintain stability, but for something like this scenario, we might have an argument the stable release team can get behind.

Marking this as incomplete as it is not actionable and hasn't been updated in a year and a half
