saio docs doesn't work (the liberasurecode-dev issue and pip...)

[clayg]

... and pip!=8.0.0 or whatever it was that broke, and avoiding system packaged setuptools like the plague and whatever pbr is doing these days - all recent batch of stuff that goes wrong when you try to install swift anytime in the last few months.

Basically someone is going to have to pop a fresh vm and walk through the old swift-all-in-one setup guide by hand copying and pasting all the little commands like a monkey and fixing the ones that have rusted.

I don't see how we're supposed to not have to do this all every so often as much as stuff keeps moving around on us?

We could spin off another vagrant-swift project that's oriented around translating the saio docs to bash so you can script/test it? Seems like a chore. Maybe with the eco-system of dev tools and deployment tools now it's less important that we have bare bones guide to setting up swift by hand (other than nostalgia? back in *my* day we used to have to rub vm's together with sticks in order to be productive working on swift!)

Is this issue particular for liberasure-dev? It seems the SAIO docs works poorly for most cases, not only for liberasure-dev.

And why don't we contribute to devstack to make the shell scripts works better for Swift? I think there must be some reason.

Since devstack is often used in other OpenStack projects to setup an All-in-One development environment

@mingyu-li-cn are you still working on this bug? any updates?

[Thiago da Silva (thiagodasilva)]

@Clay, I tested the saio docs on a new Fedora VM and everything pretty much worked with some very few changes I will be sending a patch to update.

FWIW, ansible-saio[1] is basically a translation of the saio docs, but the default vm is CentOS. So, while this doc is still nice to have, I think I agree with you that the dev tools ecosystem that exists today should cover devs needs pretty well. Project runaway should also help in the future.
