Dear Ceph Users, There was a question at the CLT today about the nfs-ganesha builds at: https://download.ceph.com/nfs-ganesha/ Are people actively using those? Is there a reason you don't use the builds from https://download.nfs-ganesha.org/ (which links to the Storage SIG in the case of CentOS and has builds for SUSE, Debian, and Ubuntu).
we are currently using these — but the interesting question is indeed why we do, and whether we should still do that ;-). When choosing which repo to pick (two years ago), we found the packages on download.ceph.com were built against the different Ceph releases: https://download.ceph.com/nfs-ganesha/rpm-V2.7-stable/ while the packages on download.nfs-ganesha.org (for the releases at that time, e.g. V2.7) did not have Ceph-version specific builds yet. Form this, I assumed that it would be more safe to use the releases from download.ceph.com which were built against a selected Ceph major release matching the Ceph release we are running, to avoid potential ABI incompatibilities. Since the storage SIG also builds nfs-ganesha against different Ceph releases, this argument should be gone — but one thing remains unclear to me: Is somebody already using the "mix" of Ceph packages from download.ceph.com combined with storage SIG packages of nfs-ganesha? Alternatively, it might be best for Ceph users on RHEL-based systems to switch all packages to rely on the storage SIG (it is something we have to plan for anyways since we'd like to stay on a RedHat Rebuild OS instead of switching to Stream, and the storage SIG keeps building on RHEL8 for now[0], so this seems to be the safe way to go for users of RedHat Rebuild systems). So to summarize, my questions would be: - Is mixing packages from download.ceph.com and the storage SIG (for nfs-ganesha) a healthy thing to do? - For RedHat Rebuild users, would the recommendation be to use the storage SIG for "everything" instead of doing the mix? This would mean to avoid all packages on download.ceph.com, though. - In any case, what would be the timeline between stopping "building" and stopping "distributing"? To ease migration (if needed), it would of course be nice to have a longer time in which the old packages are still distributed, even if the building of new versions is stopped. Cheers (and a happy new year!), Oliver [0] https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/561
Asking another way -- if we stop building nfs-ganesha and distributing them on download.ceph.com -- what would break? Thanks! Dan _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx
