Austin:

A member of the build team will trigger a CENGN build shortly.  If this fails I'll ask one of the kernel Cores to revert so that any additional debug is not done on the master branch.

Hi Scott & Frank:
    
   Shuicheng has uploaded changes [1] to fix distro layer builder error.  With this change , layer build is ok in local env. 
Details following Scott's guide :
1) Compiler and distro layer build successfully in a clean and separately workspace. 
2) For flock layer,  using Cross layer to build as flock is using kernel upgrade distro output in local. 
     The mirror/CentOS/stx-installer/ for flock layer is not generated after download_mirror.sh and generate-cgcs-centos-repo.sh, I manually cp those files to this folder. 
     Except this step,  builds-pkgs and build-iso were successfully for flock layer. 

Currently we cannot trigger cengn build to verify in cengn env.  @Scott , would you like to trigger cengn build to check if layer build is unblocked after [1] is merged. 

If cengn layer build is still failure w/ change [1] , we are ok to revert kernel upgrade changes. 

BTW: is there any guide how to trigger cengn build , are any additional permissions needed ?  it might be useful different time zone can trigger cengn build .

Austin:

Thank-you for your fixes earlier today. But as you can see from Scott additional fixes are required.  Since our builds have been broken for a long stretch (first due to the Train commits last week and now due to the kernel commits) the best thing to do is to revert the kernel commits so that the master branch can again start having successful builds.  Please revert the commits when you start your day on Tuesday: https://review.opendev.org/#/q/topic:4.18_kernel+(status:open+OR+status:merged) 

Then we ask the team priming the 4.18 kernel to start with a clean workspace and mirror that matches exactly what is in the CENGN mirror as per Scott's instructions below.  Work through the build and identify all dependent packages needed for the build to complete.  These dependencies then need to be added first to the CENGN mirror before the kernel commits can then be merged back onto master.

What is critical here is

1) start with clean workspace and clean 'output' directories

2) build in a layered context

3) go through all the steps for each layer

download_mirror.sh
generate-cgcs-centos-repo.sh
populate_downloads.sh
build-pkgs
build-iso (flock only)
