Minutes from the community call
May 10, 2023

Standing topics
- Build
     - Main Branch Debian Builds
          - Hit a number of build issues this week
          - openstack container image build failures encountered due to openstack branch deletion
          - Ildiko suggested reaching out on the openstack-discuss mailing list to ask about this and discuss how branches should be managed going forward. Action: ScottL
          - These issues are impacting builds on all branches
     - stx.6.0 Weekly RC Builds 
          - Blocked on the openstack branch deletion
          - Need to lock on a specific SHA since the branch is no longer
          - Build Output: http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/rc/6.0/
     - stx.7.0 Weekly RC Builds
          - Blocked on the openstack branch deletion
          - Need to lock on a specific SHA since the branch is no longer
          - Build Output: http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/rc/7.0/

          - Build Output: https://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/rc/8.0/
     - CENGN Mirror Running Low on Space
          - Storage is limited. 
          - ScottL is investigating what snapshots can be deleted without impacting older builds.
          - The distro.os team is also asking for more snapshots which is putting pressure on the storage requirements for mirroring.
     - github Mirroring Issue
          - Email: https://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2023-April/014000.html
          - The majority of the mirroring is working now after manually updating the key.
          - The correct / longer term solution is to setup our own zuul configuration project for StarlingX and not piggy-back on openstack
              - Estimate is about 2wks of work
              - Raised in the build project team to determine if there are resources to do this work
          - Action: Greg to review the requirements for github mirroring to confirm if it's required for all repos or just a subset to meet k8s conformance requirements.
     - Transition from CENGN
          - As discussed in the PTG, CENGN will no longer be able to host the StarlingX builds.
          - Build team is working on transitioning the builds to WR infrastructure.
          - Timing: TBD
          - Status: Progressing, but slowly. Have an experimental env setup (not publich yet) and able to run ISO builds, but not containers builds yet.

Open Requests for Help
- Issue w/ pxebooting a second node on StarlingX
     - Question raised on the community call (Apr 26) by Kevin
     - The initial node installs/boots correctly, but but an identical second node doesn't. This setup is using vmare to run StarlingX in VMs.
     - Status: Open / Greg has some information to share, but isn't sure how to get in touch w/ Kevin
- Build System Setup
     - Question was posted on IRC by Kevin
     - StarlingX documentation has a lot of outdated information. It took a lot of digging to find the right documentation for setting up a build env with minikube.
     - Requested that Kevin open an LP to the doc team and/or send an email to the mailing list w/ more details to the mailing list
     - Status: Open / No email sent to the mailing list yet. Unsure if LP was opened.
- Support for StarlingX 8 setup bring up
     - Reported by Prashanthi
     - Email thread: https://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2023-April/014026.html
     - Status: Open / Discussion is active on the mailing list. Greg providing assitance. The issues are related to date/time issues on servers being setup as well as firewall issues
