Agenda
items:
1. OS Distro (Mark)
- NOTE: Debian Bullseye
was released (Aug. 14th, 2021)
- 5.10 kernel WRT CentOS
- stable updates still pending, plan for in the next week or so
- Changes continue to be
sent for review on Gerrit (thanks everyone for providing reviews and feedback)
- Debian directory structure
refinement continues
- real world use is providing
insight to support current structure or push for changes
- expect refinement for
a while yet
- A spec will most likely
be sent in the coming weeks to wrap up this activity and finalize a v1.0 of the design (Bob)
- The STX tool is gaining
a 'build' module to wrap typical build operations, will be sent for review once it is in good enough shape
- Followup work such as
specs for Installer and/or Ostree will be worked on over next month or so (Bob and Mark)
2. Python3 (Bob)
- Work on py3 with CentOS
8 has hit the end of its usefulness, activities will be shifted to Debian
- Focus on supporting packages
for things like Puppet and Ansible to start (to enable initial standup of a core system)
- Work on py3 will provide
further feedback for things like the build system and Debian directory structure
- py3 v3.9 gates transition
for Gerrit underway (see mailing list "Support for Python3.9" email)
3. Misc
- Kernel 5.10 refinement
underway - since the kernel version uplift is rather large the available Kconfigs have changed quite a bit, please provide any feedback on the .config used for either the standard or low latency kernels
- Please continue to provide
feedback on the Debian folder structure via the mailing list thread "Layout of the debian folder"
