+ Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) is a yum repository of community
|
| |
+ maintained packages for use on CentOS Stream and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
|
| |
+ In EPEL 9, package maintainers were able to build against CentOS Stream 9 early
|
| |
+ to have packages ready before the RHEL 9.0 launch.
|
| |
+ For EPEL 10, the EPEL Steering Committee is planning on expanding that strategy
|
| |
+ to all minor versions of RHEL 10.
|

|
| |
+ When you have multiple major versions with the support of multiple architecutes,
|
| |
+ testing of a GNU/Linux distribution can be exhausting.
|
| |
+ One of the phase on our journey of testing was the automation.
|
| |
+ We will talk about the openQA and Testinfra as the technologies choice of us,
|
| |
+ the challenges we faced while adopting them and how we handled them with contributing
|
| |
+ back to upstream and Enterprise Linux ecosystem.

|
| |
+ Are you an upstream project developer aiming to ensure your software functions flawlessly
|
| |
+ on CentOS Stream? Look no further – Packit is your solution!</p>
|
| |
+ <p>Since the beginning of CentOS Stream, Packit has allowed developers to execute
|
| |
+ CentOS Stream RPM builds directly from their upstream changes.
|
| |
+ But that's just the beginning – delve into the possibilities of running tmt-based tests
|
| |
+ on a pristine virtual machine with the newly-built RPMs installed.
|
| |
+ This approach enables you to identify and address potential issues as they are introduced
|
| |
+ to the codebase, ensuring robust and reliable software when the new code reaches the user.</p>
|
| |
+ <p>More and more projects are using Packit to automatically synchronise upstream
|
| |
+ releases to Fedora. And we are pleased to announce that the very same is now
|
| |
+ available for CentOS Stream as well!</p>
|
| |
+ <p>In this talk, we will guide you through the functionalities Packit brings
|
| |
+ to the table specifically tailored for CentOS Stream.
|
| |
+ Discover how you can effortlessly enhance collaboration between upstream projects
|
| |
+ and CentOS Stream, fostering a more efficient and reliable development process.</p>

| |
+ - name: Dan Čermák
|
| |
+ desc: |
|
| |
+ <p>Enterprise Linux Distributions have been caught in a downward spiral
|
| |
+ for the past decade. The distributions have been steadily reducing
|
| |
+ their package sets, as it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain
|
| |
+ packages in a faster moving ecosystem. This in turn renders enterprise
|
| |
+ distributions less desirable as a deployment or a development target
|
| |
+ and especially as a workstation. There is a growing realization that
|
| |
+ the current release cadence and package maintenance workflow become
|
| |
+ less suitable for the world where workloads are run as containers
|
| |
+ based on non-enterprise distributions.</p>
|
| |
+ <p>What is the way out of this? How can enterprise vendors solve the
|
| |
+ problem to remain relevant in a cloud native world? Will a more
|
| |
+ modular distribution be the solution? Or perhaps the container
|
| |
+ ecosystem, where everything is containerized, is the answer?</p>

|
| |
+ <p>The CentOS Hyperscale SIG maintains a backport of the latest systemd.
|
| |
+ This talk will discuss how we use mkosi to test this backport. mkosi is
|
| |
+ the image building sister project of systemd
|
| |
+ (<a href="https://github.com/systemd/mkosi">https://github.com/systemd/mkosi</a>).
|
| |
+ We'll start with a brief introduction to mkosi before moving on to discussing
|
| |
+ how we use it to test the backport. This involves locally building the systemd
|
| |
+ rpm locally from the systemd and Hyperscale systemd rpm sources within mkosi,
|
| |
+ building initrd and system images including the newly build systemd rpms and
|
| |
+ finally booting the resulting image with qemu. If there's time left, we'll
|
| |
+ also discuss the SELinux policy module we maintain for the systemd backport.</p>

|

|
| |
+ <p>PoI Tracker is a tool intended to improve organizations' readiness to adopt
|
| |
+ the next major Enterprise Linux release, and also make it easier to track the
|
| |
+ packages they need - especially those community-maintained in the Extra Packages
|
| |
+ for Enterprise Linux repository as well as projects such as the Hyperscale SIG
|
| |
+ - and the dependency graph of these packages. This talk will cover both the
|
| |
+ rationale, the development of the tool itself, and some of its use cases.</p>
|
| |
+ <p>In addition, having this information about not only the leaf packages organizations
|
| |
+ care about but also their dependencies, PoI tracker can be used to analyze the health
|
| |
+ of these dependencies (e.g. surfacing dependencies that have major unfixed bugs, have
|
| |
+ only a single maintainer) as well as their criticality (e.g. surfacing packages that
|
| |
+ it turns out is used by many leaf packages) - organizations can then hopefully use
|
| |
+ this information to invest resources in this (e.g. helping with packaging, contributing
|
| |
+ code fixes, or funding the development)</p>
