 1. General Topics

  *   1.1 Split package list between repositories (ISO and container images)

  *   Separation of the list is done per Davlet.

  *   AI: Devlet will check the documentation on package list.

  *   1.2 Log into the git before download the source.

  *   How to pass the credential through the tooling layer when log into git repo.

  *   workaround: currently use repo sync outside of the containers.

  *   AI: Scott to write up a feature request for the tool - file a request in Story Board.

  *   Created: https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2010777

  *   1.3  Pre-patch ISO (Luis Sampaio is back, will ping him to join us next time)

  *   ARM Support

  *   CENGN move is done. Got a build done it is working.

  *   a. Equipment

  *   Ampere provided 6 servers

  *   Still waiting on exact location where the servers should be sent from Steve G. of the CTO office

  *   6 Ampere servers will go to where the CENGN lab is going to be.  2 for build, 4 for testing.

  *   Can the community support the lab?

  *   AI: ARM is still waiting on a location to host these servers. AI: Steve is help looking for a location to host these servers.

  *   AI: who from the community can help setup these servers? and support the CI/CD on ARM platform

  *   b.  CI/CD Setup (Jackie)

  *   Who can help explain the CI/CD method to Jackie, Tiayu.

  *   A lot of left over work with CNGN transition. Scott/Davlet can help answer some of the quetions.

  *   CI/CD is not very well documented.

  *   c. Porting still in progreess (Jakie)

  *   rewrote the coding to support build system for both x86 and arm

  *   build system will detect the arch, and if it is arm, it will build arm arch.

  *   Wrote up the SPEC on the implementtaion., and now waiting on SPEC to be review

  *   SPEC review first then will send code for code review.

  *   Some kernel modules don't work

  *   QEMU is not working yet. Waiting on kernel up-rev, then and see if QEMU can be fixed then.

  *   Created 2 wikipages for setting up the build environment for ARM arch:

  *   https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/StarlingX/StarlingX_Debian_on_ARM_Information_Guide

  *   https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/StarlingX/DebianArmBuildEnvironment

  *   d. Packages for x86_64 are in CNGN, need to push ARM packages there.

  *   hopefully within a week, the packages can be pushed to CNGN. Hopefully next week sometime when the CNGN moved finish.

  *   Secureboot is disabled for now. Will do it in the future.

  *   ELF SDK is used to build image. Need to push the SDK to CNGN, no permission to push to CNGN yet, it is on local disk.

  *   Need to change meta-lat layer for ELF SDK, but want to link the task to different repo, but can't.

  *   meta-lat layer is not in the StartlingX repo, but its in github repo. fork it.. do a pull request to github lab for any changes.

  *   meta-lat used is with the WR's repo, not community one. Will migrate later.

  *   e. Naming

  *   package names, and Branch Names, resolved. are all in the SPEC>

  *   f. Build server configurations resolved. Amper and ARM have the configuration setup.

  *   3.0 StartlingX 8.0

  *   SPEC from Chuck on OSTree generation on the controller, pending review.

  *   Work is being done, but the SPEC will need to be rewritten. Deferred.
