    • Current decision: not going to do this “now”

    • Isn’t a “breaking change” in the context of the plugin-api - so doesn’t really need to wait on a core-breaking-change release
    • Lots of discussion still to be had in discourse thread

Katello

Pulp

Katello

  • Repo creation errors out with Ruby bindings · Issue #3639 · pulp/pulp_rpm · GitHub
    • Blocking RPM 3.27 upgrade
    • I’d offer to regenerate the bindings myself but we’d need to upload them somewhere, and they’ll likely get overwritten by the next z-stream upgrade of pulp-rpm.
    • Collides with delivery-pipeline process
    • Can we get some more problem-determination from the Ruby side?
  • Katello would like to be on more-recent-rpm if possible

QE

  • Sat-Current verifications in progress, no blockers AFAIK
  • Some discussion about/around automating testing a scenario that requires a HUGE amount of data - prob will end up in performance-test-harness

    • Investigating publication-checksum-behavior issue
      • Syncing sha1-repo and then publishing resulted in sha1-publication
      • This is “expected behavior” - but may not make sense with current reality

Katello

  • Publish and Promote slow with 3.11/4.13 - #11 by gvde - Support - TheForeman
    • Pointers for adding Pulp DB indexes? We need to make sure it won’t break the next DB migration which will officially create the indexes.
  • Container content questions
    • Do child manifests and manifest lists both get tags?
      • Seems both can be tagged
      • Lubos: Depends
    • Diff between labels and annotations?
      • Labels come from image configs
      • Annotations come from image manifests
      • Annotations were created for the OCI spec
    • Do child manifests and manifest lists get annotations
    • Should image-mode hosts be attached to manifests or manifest lists?
      • bootc images used – perhaps they can be manifests or lists?
      • Lubos+Ina: bootc implements container native tooling, so whatever the tag is pointing to it will figure things out; thus, we can operate on lists and regular manifests
    • Should is-flatpak be shown on manifest lists or just manifests?
      • It can apply to either
  • Container bug (?)
    • Katello will open an issue w/ reproducer for below so it can be investigated

    • Discovered the day before the proposed next-Y signoff, but it looks like we’ll get at least one more snap
    • Discussing it with Gerrod
    • container/2.23 and 2.24 might be consumable? Diff is less scary than it sounds
      • Only non-bugfix changes are migration squashing and partial domain support (and the bugfix changes are in 2.22 also)
    • Can we get away with backporting the migration in this special case?
    • Pulp needs to get https://issues.redhat.com/browse/PULP-449 into current sprint

  • RPM
    • Pulp_rpm 3.30.0 released
      • Repo_gpgcheck, gpgcheck, package_checksum_type, metadata_checksum_type dropped
        • The options don’t do anything, if you try to use them
        • I believe you dropped these a while back (they’ve been deprecated a while) but it’s maybe worth double checking

Katello

  • 4.17 branching today. Will use 3.73 which is now branched: Index of /pulpcore/3.73
    • Be prepared for influx of core/3.73 users
  • Q: setuptools min-version and pulp_python
    • Check in w/ odilhao - Ian will get back to Jitka on this ASAP
    • Other plugins as well?
    • [Ian] We can’t bump up setuptools until it is in RHEL 9, currently we have 68.2 available.

Overview

Pulp

Katello

  • What happens when Pulp syncs a repository when a package’s modularity state changes? Assume the package has the same checksum as before.
    • A question came up - a non-modular repo was turned modular, but a skip-metadata-check sync seems to have not updated the modularity state
    • Not a great way to deal with this edge-case, alas - “remove all traces and resync”
    • Collides with “Immutable content”
  • Rocky 9 devel repo cannot be synchronized - Support - TheForeman
    • Community wondering if 404s in broken repositories (Rocky) can be worked around somehow
      • “Keep going when the repo is broken” keeps coming up
      • there are reasons we don’t do that (mostly, “you end up with a broken repo you can’t install from and have to go back to the third-party-repo-owner anyway”)
  • Upgrade to Katello 4.17 - katello:correct_repositories fails - #2 by ingcarl - Support - TheForeman
    • RPM client bindings issue: package_signing_fingerprint cannot be nil
    • We are all confused how this is even possible - iballou waiting on user and maybe attempting to reproduce

QE

  • glitch: distribution url of a file-type repo is empty
    • Sounds like a timing-hole between katello/pulp/test
    • Not reliably reproducible
    • Sometimes “waiting” in the test “fixes it” - but maybe not?
      • wait timeout is 120s
    • We are all sad now
