Below is the meeting minutes for Oct 18, 2023: ----- Oct 18, 2023 Attendees: Mark A., Charles S, Tianyu Li, Linda 1. General Topics 1.2 Log into the git before download the source. * Skip, Lack of quorum 2. 1.3 Pre-patch ISO: * Skip, Lack of quorum 3. ARM Support 2.1 Equipment * * Steve gave the addresses for the location of the hosts, 4 in Alameda, and 2 in Ottawa lab. * * ARM is sending those machines to these locations. Steve update the address of the Ottawa office. * pre-installed? N/A 4. 2.2 CI/CD updates * * CI/CD try to set up the workflow in ARM's local lab (ARM's Shanghai Lab), applied Jackie's patches, but may still need more patches to do builds. * Tianyu is trying to reproduce the environment in local lab, but still have some error on generating the ISO image. * Took 20 hours to build the packages. Very time consuming, some time out and driver issues. Some difficult to get to next stage. * Porting still in progress (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_Informatio... https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/StarlingX/DebianArmBuildEnvironment * SPEC file review continoues, Kernel SPEC file needs reviewer. * Got +2, waiting on the core reviewers before it is commited * Need one more core reivewer to sign off: Scott Camp * d. Packages for x86_64 are in CNGN, need to push ARM packages there. * Set up the own (CNGN like) website, push the packages to the website as part of CI/CD website (/export/mirror) * 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. * AI: Need to provide permission to Jackie so that he can push ELF SDK to CNGN. * 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 StarlingX 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. OSTree * removing OSTree from the installer ISO. (not from the StarlingX) * Work in progress, not sure when it will be ready. Possible early next year, StarlingX 9. * 3. StarlingX 8.0 * SPEC from Chuck on OSTree generation on the controller, pending review. * Work is in progress. Next Meeting: Nov 1, 2023
