September 28, 2022 Attendees: Davlet, Charles, Scott, Mark, Frank, Steve, Linda 1. General Topics * Split Images (if we don't have a complete list of packages, but only a few packages in the repo) * product vs project split the images. * deliver the code into a single repo. to get a git repo list * replicate what CentOS stylist, need a couple user stories to track the different tiers: project, product, release. 2. StaringX * Wireguard configs for both CentOS and Debian have been submitted. * StartlingX 8,0 * Content Sharing Disk space conservation * User specific vs project specific * perhaps Aptly isn't a good fit, and work directly at filesystem level * however, the goal is to have STX buildable by STX or inside of K8s where disk/folder access is not a guarantee (concerns about concurrent access should be tested out) * Suggestion: Repo per host, but serialization will be an issue. * Only writes will be serialized * AI: Scott to help write up a story and will have others in the community to take a look. * Pulp vs Aptly package manager * patch on Pulp still waiting on maintainer to review and merge * Pulp is still better package manager than Aptly in the long run (Aptly has been limping along) * https://github.com/pulp/pulp_deb/pull/295 * for those curious, the DBS using Aptly is https://github.com/molior-dbs * How to provoke a mirroring of a package to build a package on Debian world, in need of a new package. * need to put in infrastructure for unknown package build. * Will become an issue when introducing Debian build only. * For now, AI: need document and suggested workflow. * Pulp has the concept of meta object, so doesn't require download of the package. * Still may have impact to the Debian packages. minor use cases may need this. * AI; Park this topic, 'til New year * Transition to deprecated CentOS for StartlingX 8.0 (Late November, Q4'22) * 2022-23 will need to stop building CentOS in CNGN build systems * need to get all containers transition and built/tested * if need to keep pkgs around for those containers that still need to be transitioned, keep the CentOS pkgs list small to only those needed for the transitional containers * AI: Frank will represent WR to announce/advocate the changes in Community meeting, next PTG meeting. * AI: Will wait for couple weeks to determine if there are any packages, we need to keep 'til containers are fully port over and transitioned. Davlet: write up a spec to reduce the CentOS pgks to StartlingX, on PTG meeting agenda. Next Meeting: October 12, 2022
