Pulp

• Pulpcore
  • Query of all changes from last week
  • 3.20 and plugin-compat releases are all out
  • Planning to comment and close
    • https://github.com/pulp/pulpcore/issues/2850
    • Discussion around this (and tasking in general) happened
  • No progress to report on last week’s BZs, alas
  • Note on releasing backports
    • Pulp is working to do backport-releases only on “downstream” requests
    • Should pulp “proactively” backport? Or only do so in response to downstream requirements?
• RPM
  • 3.17.7 released with some bugfixes including the orphan cleanup error
    • No new 3.14 release yet but I can push one if desired
  • Focusing on BZs
    • Mostly 2102331 – [RFE] Sometimes the metadata and PG database information about # of packages are not matching. Satellite should alert about it, it’s not clear yet what the problem is
    • Also 2103522 – Capsule sync fails with "Parsing interrupted: The repository metadata being synced into Pulp is erroneous in a way that makes it ambiguous (duplicate NEVRAs).."
    • Also 2070611 – [Errno 24] too many open files after some time syncing.
  • 2070168 – Error 'modulemd-yaml-error-quark' while synchronizing fedora modular repository on Satellite 6.10.
    • How to make sure both 6.10 and 6.11 get libmodulemd-2.12 package update?
    • How to make sure package versions don’t get arbitrarily downgraded in the future?
    • Need to investigate to make sure this hasn’t caused a data integrity issue
• Migration
• Ansible
  • Adding role-import-from-github support
• Pulp Container
• OSTree
• Pulp CLI

Katello

• Orphan cleanup issue
  • Which pulp_rpm versions: rpm/3.14 and rpm/3.17 will be supported

Katello

• Display total size of a yum\docker\iso\file\custom repository in Satellite GUI after syncing them - https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-2512
• Processing metadata task should fail with an appropriate error message, whenever a task is stuck due to insufficient file system space. - https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-2354
• Can Pulp be configured to log outgoing requests for content downloads, for example, RPMs or metadata files? We’re trying to figure out how to verify that Alternate Content Sources are working.
  • No code currently, could possibly be added and backported
  • Alternatively: a man-in-the-middle proxy or firewall could be configured to log where requests are going
• Should Katello use Pulpcore 3.20 or wait for 3.21?
  • Katello 4.7 stabilizes in ~ 3 months (November-ish). We estimate we need 1 month to upgrade Pulp versions (generous estimate). The delivery team needs about 2 weeks.
  • We can wait for Pulpcore 3.21, it should release around September
• ACS issue: https://github.com/pulp/pulp_rpm/issues/2667
  • Figured it out, details are on the issue.

  • Query of all changes from last week
  • Working on core/3.18.6
    • Fixing CI issues
    • Hoping for this afternon/tomorrow
    • 3 BZs (incl FSExporter fix)
• RPM
  • Multiple high prio BZs in flight
    • 2103522 – Capsule sync fails with "Parsing interrupted: The repository metadata being synced into Pulp is erroneous in a way that makes it ambiguous (duplicate NEVRAs).."
      • In the comments, there is mention of another separate issue, trying to get a new BZ for that
  • New releases - 3.14.17, 3.17.8
    • Don’t actually use these, need to release a small new patch
    • Another set of releases will come shortly afterwards (rpm/3.14.18, rpm/3.17.9)
    • From katello: make sure to set fixed-in correctly in BZs to get these picked up
  • Libmodulemd data repair
    • Fallout from having shipped wrong libmodulemd version

Katello

• Quick chat on 1993917 – Syncing repositories with https proxy set ends with warning Katello::Errors::Pulp3 Error Only http proxies are supported
  • 2 cacerts are needed when talking to CDN via https proxy, one for proxy and one for cdn
    • The proxy cert is typically in the systems default CA trust store
    • Sounds like pulp2 requests library trusted it in 6.9 but pulp3 doesn’t seem to want to load it from the trust store and instead wants to be explicit on ca certificates to use.
    • If we have to stay explicit then it’ll be a lot of work from a katello perspective.
    • Let’s see if we can come up with approaches.
    • Paji doing a POC on the pulp-side, will report on progress

QE

August 31, 2022

Overview

• Katello Schedule

Pulp

• Pulpcore
  • Query of all changes from last week
  • core/3.21 release still scheduled for 8-SEP
• RPM
  • Need to release 3.18 in the 1.5 weeks (hopefully for real this time)
  • Should include the modulemd profile & description data 2109634 – Add module profile information to modulemd enpoints
    • Snafu: it looks like pulp_rpm 3.18 claims to require pulpcore 3.19, that is a problem if we want this fix to go into Satellite-next, which is where the BZ is currently pointing
      • 3.19 is a very small release with no breaking changes and only 6 small quality of life features, is a bump theoretically still possible?
        • https://github.com/pulp/pulpcore/blob/3.19/CHANGES.rst#rest-api-1
        • If not, we need to investigate if there is something we can do to make pulp_rpm 3.18 compatible
        • [Ian] I would argue that that bug is not important enough to bump y-versions of Pulpcore. It isn’t a breaking issue, just missing information from the UI. Even updating the y-version of pulp_rpm is a bit much. To help decide, we’d need to see a changelog diff for either upgrade.
    • Will try to prioritize https://github.com/pulp/pulp_rpm/issues/2643 and https://github.com/pulp/pulp_rpm/issues/2735
• Migration
• Ansible
• Pulp Container
• OSTree
• Pulp CLI

Katello

• Satellite-next capsule sync issue with ansible collections: https://github.com/pulp/pulp_ansible/issues/1201 , 2121583 – Sync of an Ansible collection repo to the Capsule fails
• Dep solving fun (Pulp 3 this time!) 2070537 – Solve Dependencies does not add all needed packages to content view with security only filter
  • (dalley) apologies for the lack of response on this so far. I was meaning to dig into it 6 weeks ago but it got overtaken by other items e.g. duplicate NEVRA

QE

• next-Z snap 1 bz verification
  • Waiting on snap
• next-Y snap 7 testing
  • Waiting on snap 8
• Testathon is happening at the moment

  • Answer: 10-15m for rhel8_bos + rhel8_app for both incremental update and publishing cv

  • “The” deadlock fix backported for curr-Y Satellite
• RPM
  • 3.18 blockers in the process of being merged
    • Still minor cleanup to finish up pre-release
  • Considering some changes that would allow pulp_rpm 3.18 to be used alongside pulpcore 3.18
    • Currently, as mentioned last week, it contains a feature that relies on pulpcore 3.19
  • Coordination going on with certain BZs / customer cases, hotfixes

• Pulp Container
• OSTree
• Pulp CLI

Katello

• Testathon in-progress, so changes are on-hold for two weeks

• Feature testing
• Automation failure fixes
• Waiting on static ouia-id to get into a build
  • Some missing OUIA-ID for cv, sent BZ back to dev
  • Pending - Host details page OUIA-ID PR
• Question: how long is “too long” to publish a CV where we have added 1 erratum and incrementally updating (ie, we’re doing depsolving)
  • Rhel8_baseos + Rhel8_appstream
    • Created a cv with a filter of before June 30th
    • Publish and did incremental update
      • Incremental update time: 10min 15 sec
      • Publishing cv after inc update: 10min 15 sec
    • Created a filter that includes up to July 31st
    • Publish and did incremental update
      • Incremental update time: 10min 15 sec
      • Publishing cv after inc update: 10min 15 sec
  • rhel7
    • Created a cv with a filter of before June 30th
    • Publish and did incremental update
      • Incremental update time: 9min 9 sec
      • Publishing cv after inc update: 13min 23 sec
    • Created a filter that includes up to July 31st
    • Publish and did incremental update
      • Incremental update time: 8min 49 sec
      • Publishing cv after inc update: 18min 35 sec
      • [Iballou] It would be interesting to see the breakdown between “pulp time” and “katello time” for this
      • Katello-indexing should be much faster now, would be good to know if that isn’t the case
  • Note: depSolving is not selected for these runs, but iirc, doing filtering and publishing does the depsolving?
    • In general usage, it does not - katello only asks Pulp to depsolve, if the user asks for it explicitly
    • Incrementals depsolve by default, so they do

  • Let’s start with “exposed but opt-in via custom hiera”, sociallize w/ katello/foreman community, and see where we go from there
