Hi, 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. * Created: https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2010777, (create a jira for it) * 1.3 Pre-patch ISO (Luis Sampaio is back, will ping him to join us next time) 2. ARM Support * a. Equipment * 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 * b. CI/CD Setup (Jackie) * 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: * 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. * 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. * 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. 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. Next meeting: September 6, 2023 Thanks, Linda
