Hi everyone, This is a weekly report from the CPE (Community Platform Engineering) Team. If you have any questions or feedback, please respond to this report or contact us on #redhat-cpe channel on libera.chat (https://libera.chat/). We (CPE team) will be joining Fedora Social Hour on Jan 27th. Looking forward to seeing a lot of you! (https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/join-us-for-fedora-social-hour-every-week/18869/46) If you wish to read this in form of a blog post, check the post on Fedora community blog: (https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/cpe-weekly-update-week-of-january-17th-22nd/) # Highlights of the week ## Infrastructure & Release Engineering Goal of this initiative ----------------------- Purpose of this team is to take care of day to day business regarding CentOS and Fedora Infrastructure and Fedora release engineering work. It’s responsible for services running in Fedora and CentOS infrastructure and preparing things for the new Fedora release (mirrors, mass branching, new namespaces etc.). The ARC (which is a subset of the team) investigates possible initiatives that CPE might take on. Update ------ ### Fedora Infra * All koji builders/hubs upgraded to F35 and ready for mass rebuild ( 🤞 ) * Additional s390x disk space appeared, so added 10 more s390x builders. * Fixed IPA issue with certs ( known upgrade bug) * Difficult container builds failing issue solved. ### CentOS Infra including CentOS CI * CentOS Linux 8 EOL plan * Hardware issues (storage box, 64 compute nodes for CI infra) * Kmods SIG DuD discussion (koji plugin vs external script) * CI storage for ocp/openshift migration completed and working faster/better ! * CentOS CI tenants Survey (for the upcoming DC move) ### Release Engineering * Mass rebuild starts today * Several rawhide issues fixed and composes have been good the last few days. ## CentOS Stream Goal of this initiative ----------------------- This initiative is working on CentOS Stream/Emerging RHEL to make this new distribution a reality. The goal of this initiative is to prepare the ecosystem for the new CentOS Stream. Updates ------- * The NFV repo was added to CentOS Stream 8, work is happening now on the repo files in centos-release * Module branching work is ongoing * Libffi is causing some interesting breakage in ELN * GCC bugs in ELN * Koji/brew Inheritance discussions are still happening * Testing Content Resolver with production data before deployment ## Datanommer/Datagrepper V.2 Goal of this initiative ----------------------- The datanommer and datagrepper stacks are currently relying on fedmsg which we want to deprecate. These two applications need to be ported off fedmsg to fedora-messaging. As these applications are 'old-timers' in the fedora infrastructure, we would also like to look at optimizing the database or potentially redesigning it to better suit the current infrastructure needs. For a phase two, we would like to focus on a DB overhaul. Updates ------- * It’s done! Data is migrated, the new code is now running in prod. ## CentOS Duffy CI Goal of this initiative ----------------------- Duffy is a system within CentOS CI Infra which allows tenants to provision and access bare metal resources of multiple architectures for the purposes of CI testing. We need to add the ability to checkout VMs in CentOS CI in Duffy. We have OpenNebula hypervisor available, and have started developing playbooks which can be used to create VMs using the OpenNebula API, but due to the current state of how Duffy is deployed, we are blocked with new dev work to add the VM checkout functionality. Updates ------- * Legacy API * Node Pools & Ansible Backend ## Image builder for Fedora IoT Goal of this initiative ----------------------- Integration of Image builder as a service with Fedora infra to allow Fedora IoT migrate their pipeline to Fedora infra. Updates ------- * Officially kicked off this week * Fact finding at the moment * Met with Peter Robinson and team from Fedora IoT * Need to figure out a way to run their pipeline * At least 1 koji plugin to be written + deployed * Meeting with Image Builder team tomorrow * They are currently blocked by auth, development underway * Need to get an idea of their API and what they expect from us ## Bodhi Goal of this initiative ----------------------- This initiative is to separate Bodhi into multiple sub packages, fix integration and unit tests in CI, fix dependency management, and automate part of the release process. Read ARC team findings in detail at: https://fedora-arc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/bodhi/index.html Updates ------- * splitting the codebase into separate python packages * migrating from CentOS CI to Zuul ## EPEL Goal of this initiative ----------------------- Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (or EPEL) is a Fedora Special Interest Group that creates, maintains, and manages a high quality set of additional packages for Enterprise Linux, including, but not limited to, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS and Scientific Linux (SL), Oracle Linux (OL). EPEL packages are usually based on their Fedora counterparts and will never conflict with or replace packages in the base Enterprise Linux distributions. EPEL uses much of the same infrastructure as Fedora, including buildsystem, bugzilla instance, updates manager, mirror manager and more. Updates ------- * epel9 up to 1346 source packages (increase of 188 from last week) * Two talks submitted and accepted for the February CentOS Dojo * State of EPEL * EPEL Packaging Hackfest Kindest regards, -- Vipul Siddharth He/His/Him On behalf of the CPE team _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
