[Starlingx-discuss] Bi-Weekly StarlingX OS Distro & Multi-OS meeting Sept 6, 2023
Hi, 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 * Steve gave the addresses for the location of the hosts, 4 in Alameda, and 1 in Ottawa lab, 1 remains to confirm. * ARM is sending those machines to these locations. * pre-installed? * b. 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. * 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. * 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 being done, but the SPEC will need to be rewritten. Deferred/Pending. Next Meeting: September 20, 2023 Thanks!
