This is sort of an RCA and notification to anyone interested in using nightly builds of GlusterFS. If you have any (automated) tests that consume the nightly builds for non-master branches, you did not run tests with updated packages since 2 May 2019. The nightly builds failed to run, but nobody was notified or reported this.
Around two weeks ago the nightly builds for glusterfs of the non-master branches were broken due to a change in the CI script. This has been corrected now and a manual run of the job shows green balls again: https://ci.centos.org/view/Gluster/job/gluster_build-rpms/ The initial breakage was introduced by an optimization to not download the whole glusterfs git repository, but only the current HEAD. This did not take into account that 'git checkout' would not be able to switch to a branch that was not downloaded. With a few iterations of fixes, it became obvious that also tags were not fetched (duh), and 'git describe' would not work. Without tags it is not possible to mark builds with the most recent minor release that was made of a branch. Currently the date of the build + git-hash is part of the package version. That means that there is a new version of each branch every day, instead of only after commits have been merged. This might be changed in the future... As a reminder, the YUM .repo files for the nightly builds can be found at http://artifacts.ci.centos.org/gluster/nightly/ Cheers, Niels _______________________________________________ Community Meeting Calendar: APAC Schedule - Every 2nd and 4th Tuesday at 11:30 AM IST Bridge: https://bluejeans.com/836554017 NA/EMEA Schedule - Every 1st and 3rd Tuesday at 01:00 PM EDT Bridge: https://bluejeans.com/486278655 Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@gluster.org https://lists.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
