Below is the Meeting Minutes from StarlingX OS Distro and Multi-OS meeting.
1.
General Topics
1.1 Split package list betweeen repositories (ISO
and container images)
- Separeation
of the list is done per Davlet.
- AI: Devlet
will check the documentation on package list.
- 1.2 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.
- 1.3 Pre-patch
ISO (Luis Sampaio is back, will ping him to join us next time)
2. ARM Support
- Ampere provided
6 servers
- Still waiting
on exact location where the servers should be sent from Steve G. of the CTO office
- 6 Ampere servers
will go to where the CENGN lab is going to be. 2 for build, 4 for testing.
- Can the community
support the lab?
- AI: ARM is
still waiting on a location to host these servers. AI: Steve is help looking for a location to host these servers.
- AI: who from
the community can help setup these servers? and support the CI/CD on ARM platform
- Check with
Steve Gnery and Warren Bayek
- Who can help
explain the CI/CD method to Jackie, Tiayu.
- A lot of left
over work with CNGN transition. Got help from Scott/Davlet and Tianyu tried on local server. Failed on downloading packages.
- ARM is running
native build on servers. May need to change the alternate download of the CI/CD code.
- c. Porting
still in progreess (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:
- SPEC file
review continoues, Kernel SPEC file needs reviewer.
- Need more
community reviewers.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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. StartlingX 8.0
- SPEC from
Chuck on OSTree generation on the controller, pending review.
- Work is being
done, but the SPEC will need to be rewritten. Deferred.
