Repo layout. We really need to make the call by Tuesday 2012/7/24.
by Robert Middleswarth
The current repo layout will have to change some to support the 3.1
release that might be happening on the 25th. We are going to have to
move stuff around to archive the 3.0 release as well as setup the 3.1
release in my option we can do it one of two ways. 1) Create an archive
folder and just copy 3.0 to it well we do the 3.1 release and keep the
same structure we have now. 2) Redo the layout to something that will
long term support version and be less confusing to people using the project.
Personally I think this is a good time to redesign. The existing 3.0
repo files are going to break when we move things around for the 3.1
release and we are going to need to make sure everything is in place.
Since we are going to have to disrupt thing already why not do a full
clean-up instead of just patch the current layout. Our current layout.
release/[stable|beta|nightly]/[binary|fedora|RHEL|src]/[16|17|18]
I recommend we switching to the following structure.
release/[3.0|3.1|3.2|stable|testing]/[nightly|beta|released]/[tools|fedora|RHEL|src]/[16|17|18|rawhide]
With symlinks for stable and testing point to the current version for
each. I also suggest a symlink called release/fedora-ovirt-latest.rpm
that points to the latest ovirt-release-*.rpm file.
Inside each version there will be a repo file that enables released
disables beta & nightly.
Since each repo file will simple reference everything by version number
each new release wont break old releases.
What does everyone think?
Thanks
Robert

Maintainers list
by Karsten 'quaid' Wade
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I'm asking the following people if you are interested in being a
maintainer of the Infrastructure project.
You are under no obligation to accept this request. I'm inviting you
because you've shown continuous interest, helpfulness, and capability.
But I know we are all busy, and sometimes the mark of a good leader is
to know when to say no to a leadership opportunity. Just let me know
if you'd like to be an Infra maintainer or not:
* Mike Burns
* Eyal Edri
* Itamar Heim
* Ewoud Kohl van Wijngaarden
* Robert Middleswarth
* Ofer Schreiber
* Karsten Wade
In addition, I'd like to invite Moran Goldboim to be the first person
to join us as a candidate for becoming a maintainer. Moran has been
doing infra work behind the scenes, so is only known to a few of us,
and he has recently expressed interest in being an Infra maintainer.
We haven't defined how to become a maintainer ... yet ... but when we
do, Moran can be the first person to go through the process, if he's
interested. :)
Thanks - Karsten

Meeting minutes
by Dan Kenigsberg
Today we did have a meeting, and discussed the following points:
- We need a volunteer to extend vdsm's on-commit hook, so it runs functional
tests to. This requires installing vdsm.rpm as well as vdsm-tests.rpm,
starting vdsmd service, running the tests, and cleaning the host.
Robert M. suggested that we ask infra@ for help in writing and maintaining
this test, so here I am, CCing infra(a)ovirt.org.
- Saggi is planning a C API library, exposing gobjects, with a rest bridge (or
whatever) for client applications. I'm slightly appauled - I prefered the
simpler idea of API.py and REST binding, with which C/whatever clients can
interact.
- Adam documented the current xmlrpc api, with all its pecularities and
horrors. Prefers to keep it as a single document; I think it would be
easier to maintain if definition that are specific to an API call sit
on top the function definition. It would be harder to forget to update
one of them when you change the other. Admitedly, it requires some sed
preprocessing in order to extract a single human-readable document out
of this scattered info. Saggi votes for Adam.
- deepakcs: i just posted VDSM hook example for exploiting native
qemu-glusterfs options from VDSM. Wanted to know feedback onthe same and
alternative approach
- Saggi asks to ping qemu folks about the feature of specifying the full
qcow chain BZ#750801. We need it to reduce repository complexity
(currently we play with symlinks).
- Federico: storage domain v 3 , requires bleeding-edge upstream engine and
sanlock. http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Storage_Domain_Versions
- probably more stuff that I've forgotten... please reply with more info
See ya all!
Dan.

Repo structure and the upcoming 3.1 release.
by Robert Middleswarth
With 3.1 pending release we should think some about the structure of the
repo's and how we are going to handle the 3.1 release.and the retirement
of the 3.0 builds.
I think it would be bad to keep the 3.0 builds in the F16 folder. But I
also don't think we should remove the folder either.
This is the time to ask questions.
1) Do we want to make any changes to the layout?
2) How do we want to handle older versions?
3) Do want to keep the beta's around after the stable is moved to 3.1?
For now I suggest we do the following.
1) After 3.1 is released we move the stable 3.0 F16 builds in to
archive/3.0/f16 off the release folder.
2) Reserve Nightly for Jenkins builds of 3.2
3) clean out the 3.1 beta's Until we are ready to start testing 3.2
Does anyone else disagree with my idea's?
Does anyone else have what the feel is a better plan?
Thanks
Robert

Jenkins and RHEL 6.2
by Robert Middleswarth
I see there are 2 RHEL 6.2 slaves added to Jenkins and I see they are
doing something with the engine? What are they actually doing since I
don't see any artifacts left over? How hard would it be to tweak the
existing ones to create .rpms?
Thanks
