Debian "Jessie" was released with Django 1.7.7. Please update Ganeti Web Manager for compatibility with Django 1.7+.

I'll take a look into migrating it. This might be a significant amount of effort, however, as there are some OSL Python dependencies that would need to be updated as well. I can't give a timeframe on when we would be able to have this.

I had a quick look and it seems that at least the following issues are to be addressed:

• Deprecated HAYSTACK_SITECONF and HAYSTACK_SEARCH_ENGINE: replace with HAYSTACK_CONNECTIONS?
• "South does not support Django 1.7 or higher. Please use native Django migrations.".
• TEMPLATE_DIRS setting must be a tuple.
• django.utils no longer have simplejson: trivial replace with import json?
  python-django-object-log also needs update.

Probably there are more problems -- this is all what my inexperienced eye noticed so far...

Any news regarding this issue ?
