Hi Anyone who is familiar with stx-tools or build flow,

Our storage team (Dehao etc.) have worked on Ceph upgrading on starlingX project and we are still staggering to resolve issues one-by-one, now we fail to build ISO, the log points to “These RPMS had problems (likely version conflicts) “.

Here is our build steps and according action we did. We are looking for help to solve it, if anyone who can give some hints to narrow down/address issue or point out the wrong step here. That’s really helpful to unblock Ceph upgrade to catch up Sep.26 code freeze.

Build flow

step 1: download_mirror  ---> container 1

           |

step 2: manually check *_miss_*.txt and *_fails_*.txt file, then download miss and fails package

           |

step 3: to ensure that all package listed by rpms_from_3rd_parties.list and rpms_from_centos_repo.lst are downloaded

           |

step 4: create work space : mkdir -p $HOME/starlingx/mirror/Centos

            |

step 5: copy mirror to workspace which can be used by container 2

           |

step 6: edit Dockerfile, create image, then run container, and so on.

            |

step 7 : clone all source using "repo sync"    → container 2

          |

step 8: at git folder, using ceph 13.2.0 to replace ceph 10.2.6

           |

step 9: using ceph tools "make-srpm.sh" to create 13.2.0 ceph.spec file.

            |

step 10 : modify new ceph.spec file according to stx-ceph's ceph.spec file

           |

step 11: copy stx-ceph's wrs folder to ceph 13.2.0

            |

step 12: build-pkgs --serial    

           |

step 13: build_iso   <-----------------------------fails ！！！

           |

step 14 : success building

What we had done

            1：can build starlingx image

            2：ceph 13.2.0’s ceph.spec file can works.

            3： build-pkgs can build all package

What part we are gating

when building ISO, deps can’t be resolved. we tried steps but failed.  

Stalingx log give one error conclusion as following:  

22:14:55 Debug: Packages still unresolved:

22:14:55

22:14:56 Warning: Infinite loop detected in dependency resolution.  See /localdisk/loadbuild/dehao/starlingx/export/deps.txt for details -- exiting

22:14:56 These RPMS had problems (likely version conflicts)

22:14:56   librados.so.2()(64bit)

22:14:56 Could not install dependencies

What’s the next step

            1: Talked with Qi mingyuan, plan to compare every ceph 13.2.0 depes package with mirror’s package.

2: Deploy one starlingx cluster, check package and env.

Help needed

            If we can get stx-tools design, implement overview or building flow, it can help us speed up the debug/upgrading.  

Thanks!
