Comment 10 for bug 1808168

I looked at the neutron-fwaas-dashboard package in the xenial NEW queue and I have some question. There are obviously some differences between 1.3.0 in cosmic and the one backported to bionic. This makes the review a bit less straightforward as our regular SRU NEW package-backport policies do not apply.

The most obvious changes are the ones from py3 -> py2 which has been explained in this bug, so I'll skip that part. There are some others that I'd first want to know some about .

1) I noticed that in the cosmic package the tests were ran during override_dh_install (which did seem a bit strange to me) but now have moved to the proper place in override_dh_auto_test. What was the reason that it was previously done at a different step?

2) In the original cosmic package, in override_dh_install I see that some static files were being copied over to /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/static etc. which is not happening anymore in the bionic backport. Everything else moved to override_dh_auto_install. Are those now installed as part of pkgos-dh_auto_install ? Why did the installation stages move so much?

3) This is a minor question (out of curiosity), just wanted to get some context on this: why is 1.3.0 backported instead of 1.5.0? Not a problem of course.

Thanks!
