Missed Meeting this Week. Please put issues into this email.
by Stephen John Smoogen
I got caught up trying to research a problem with NFS and iscsi and
completely missed that I was supposed to run a meeting today.
Thanks to the people who pinged me and my apologies. Since I am now a
month ahead, I would like to get all the issues that we are wanting
done in the next week meeting (and anything that needed to be done in
this weeks).
Communication Things to be Done:
--------------------------------------------
1. Please read the EPEL documentation on the website and send me
emails about what is broke. I will start compiling that into tickets
into the trac and get them fixed.
2. There is some work on the Fedora side of things to move
documentation out of the wiki and into RST git repositories. Going
from 1 and this I will create a pagure repo that people can work there
or in github.
3. The trac needs work.
4. Blog post on other proposals from people at FOSDEM.
5. .....
Things done:
----------------
1. Tibbs has done a hell of a lot on getting packages to compile
across the board.
2. .....
Things needing input:
--------------------------
1. .....

EPEL Proposal #4: Build it all in CentOS promote to RHEL
by Stephen John Smoogen
==========================================================
EPEL Proposal #4: Build it all in CentOS promote to RHEL
==========================================================
So this one came up when we were going over problems with building
alternative architectures in EPEL. One of the big problems is that
currently everything is built against Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This
has some bonuses for some people but it causes a problem when
architectures are built against by CentOS but not Red Hat. [E.G. EL-7
for i386 and arm32] When a Red Hat release is done, the builders
usually get updated as part of our repopull from the RHN
servers. Usually there are some changes in added and subtracted
packages which can cause packages to get new dependencies. While this
is an inconvenience to customers.. it isn't a problem for the
builders. When we start mixing distributions, it does cause a problem
with the builders because a package may get compiled for EL-7 x86_64
and not be the same as arm32 or i386 due to the fact that buildroots
for i386 are not as up2date as the RHEL ones. This can cause builds
all across the system to break so it is frowned on.
A couple of proposed fixes were:
1. Compile everything against CentOS. This has the bonus that they all
kind of get updated at the same time so breakages from going from
7.3 to 7.4 is smaller. However, a lot of business users have either
ITIL or security plans which allow for EPEL packages to be used on
their systems because they were built against RHEL versus a
rebuild. Remove that and it causes various problems for users.
2. Split off the builds for alternative architectures in a shadow
koji which is turned off when these splits occur. This makes it
partially easier to manage but brings in other problems.
3. some other ways to fix this that I don't know how to describe
correctly
However while we were hashing on 1, someone else who had been asking
about why don't we build everything came up with a
different mix. Build everything against CentOS for various
architectures and put it in some other repository (Extra Packages in
CentOS came to mind). Packages which people really want and are
willing to care for are branched off into EPEL packages which are
built against RHEL. [Or if they really want it they get a business
case to Red Hat to make it a product they will pay for it.]
There is a lot of problems with the above.. it requires a lot of work
in many different moving parts to get done. It also could be even more
confusing than what we have already. However, I did say I was going to
write up all the proposals for people to look at.

EPEL Proposal #2: EPEL Rolling Rawhide
by Stephen John Smoogen
========================================
EPEL Proposal #2: EPEL Rolling Rawhide
========================================
An EPEL rawhide may sound like an oxymoron for having an always
building main tree for a release that is known for its plodding
slowness. However there are methods to the madness as people brought
it up at FOSDEM Brussels.
Rolling Release Style. In this version there is a branch where many
Fedora packages are rebuilt against EL-5/6/7. The packages in this
release are always the latest that can be compiled against the release
and all 'updates' and fixes are done upstream versus in the
package. The epel file tree would look something like this:
EPEL/{5,6,7}
EPEL/testing/{5,6,7}
EPEL/rawhide/{5,6,7}
Packages in EPEL/{5,6,7} are ones that are going to be kept stable
until they can no longer be supported. Packages in EPEL/testing/ are
were updates to the mainline packages are kept. The general idea is
that Fedora packagers can freely fork to EPEL/rawhide with no care
about whether it works or not. If people are interested enough to help
fix it they can send it to the packager but if it doesn't build and no
one fixes it.. it isn't there. If people do care about the package,
they can sponsor it and those would be the ones in EPEL regular. These
packages would follow the agreed upon rules about updates and lack of
big changes.
Pros: Allows for more packages to be newer for more users.
Cons: More channels for release engineering and packagers to deal
with.

PSA: Enterprise Linux 5 End of Production on 2017-03-31 and EPEL.
by Stephen John Smoogen
===================================================================
PSA: Enterprise Linux 5 End of Production on 2017-03-31 and EPEL.
===================================================================
Red Hat Enterprise Linux builds its current releases around a 4 part
lifecycle model.
* Production 1. New drivers and features are added during this cycle
along with security and production bug fixes.
* Production 2. Only security and production bug fixes are done
during this cycle.
* Production 3. Only security and 'critical' bug fixes are done.
* Extended Lifecycle Support. Security and critical bug fixes are
only released to customers who are paying for this extra level of
support. For rebuild Linuxes like CentOS and Scientific Linux the
product is now End of Lifed.
The last time this happened was in 2012 with the end of life of
Enterprise Linux 4. At that time, EPEL stopped supporting builds for
EL-4 but no other changes were done. This wasn't a big deal because
EL-4 had never gotten a large number of users. However in 1 year, 1
month, EL-5 will reach the end of its production run and move into
Extended Life Support. Enterprise 5 is still over 20% of all EPEL
installs so I wanted to give a long heads up that EL-5 will also be
removed from the builders on April 1 2017 and no builds will be done
after that. Depending on other proposals, EL-5 may also be moved over
to an 'archive' like Fedora releases are so that it is clear that it
is no longer under any production. If that happens there will be clear
notice of where it has been moved to and how to keep at it.
