Minutes from the community call
September 14, 2022

Standing topics
- Build
     - Main Branch CentOS Builds
          - Builds have been green all week
     - Main Branch Debian Builds
          - Builds have been green 6/7 days last week. One intermittent issue seen, but the follow-up build passed.
     - When will CentOS builds stop?
          - Criteria for discussion
                - Container builds all transitioned to build as part of Debian
                       - This can be a soft target given most container images are statically tagged, so previously built containers can continue to be used if a rebuild is not required.
                       - However, once a rebuild is required, the team responsible would have to transition the container build to be part of Debian builds
                - Support for most/all deployment configs in Debian
                       - AIO-SX, AIO-DX, Standard, Storage, DC
                - Regular sanity running on Debian builds
                - stx-openstack
                       - Currently only built and supported in CentOS
                       - Will need a decision on whether transitioning stx-openstack to Debian is a gating item for stopping the CentOS builds
- Sanity
     - CentOS Main Branch Sanity w/o stx-openstack
          - AIO-SX sanity was green. https://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2022-September/013359.html
          - AIO-DX sanity was not run due to a config/env issue
     - CentOS Main Branch Sanity w/ stx-openstack
          - Sanity was run last week and was yellow (same as stx.7.0) >> Action to ensure reports are sent to the emailing list
          - Sanity pipeline hit some issues this week which are under investigation
     - Debian Main Branch Sanity
          - Action: Rob to look at plan to start these executions
          - Need to consider an overlap period with both CentOS & Debian sanities running to ensure Debian is stable before discontinuing CentOS sanity.
     - Team is also working on automating sanity emails to the mailing list
          - Was discussed within the stx test team and there are some challenges with implementation.
          - For now, the team will send the reports manually and follow the required "subject" format for tagging builds as green in CENGN
- Gerrit Reviews in Need of Attention
     - FEC Operator Configurability
          - https://review.opendev.org/c/starlingx/app-sriov-fec-operator/+/845179  >> Merged
          - Follow-up reviews are now promptly reviewed and merging
