Attendees: Greg, Mark, Frank, Haiqing, Scott, Steve G, Carlos, Davelet, Mike

1. General Topics
      0.1 Split package list between repositories (ISO and container images)
            * Resource & landing.
            * No request on Launchpad
            * AI: We'll need to look closely to see if there is. any further improvement is needed.
            Backup plan: use CentOS build or docker images.
      0.2 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.
       0.3 Pre-patch ISO (Luis) (Carols replacing Luis Barbosa)
  •        * Check to see if there is a ticket to look into this issue, looks like this issue is resolved.
  •        * the pre-patch script is being tested with success by Juliano Carvalho. 
  •       
2. StartlingX 8.0
      0.1 Secureboot enablement
            *  Traditionally created the key with ISO.  Prefer to create the Key with the ISO/and put it inside with the ISO.
            *  To keep backward compatibility, will *also* need to keep the key at the originally previous location.
            * The new tool is there a way to update the key and lockdown EFI, it will wipe out the keys, anyway to just add the new key without wiping the old keys.
            * For current usage, leave the key where it is. If we want to change it, let's discuss it further in the community before changing it.
            * AI: Haiqing to restore the key at the current location. Scott will share the current location on the launchpad.
            * AI: Scott to create an issue on launchpad. Let community discuss on moving to new location.[Done]
                  https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1999663
  • * AI:  lwang8 will send out notification to the list once it is confirmed the secureboot signing is now supported.
      0.2  ISO size bigger than 4G
             * with OOT driver may need to include the kernel source/debug package that will allow OOT tree driver to be built on customer target.
            * This will add the ISO size back up to greater than 4G. 
            * AI: low priority but still need to investigate the "ISO daisy chain extension of another 4G, and tooling needs.

Next Meeting:
