We need to be clear on the difference between considering it important
for Atomic images to be ready on release day, and being "release
blockers."  The latter has a very specific meaning as Adam W can
attest.  Being a deliverable is not the same as being release
blocking.  This seems like a problem of vocabulary.

I think mattdm would agree we don't want to potentially,
*indefinitely* block a six-month release with a deliverable that can
be fixed and re-released in two weeks.  That's what "release blocking"
means.  If it's not ready, the release doesn't go out.  This was an
overwhelming point in having that two week cycle -- to give more
flexiblity vs. the standard Fedora release.

Does this mean we shouldn't strive to have Atomic images ready
day-and-date on GA?  No.  We missed this narrowly in F24, as I recall,
and we should avoid repeating that, if at all possible.  But let's not
undermine a major dimension of the two-week release by confusing the
release-blocker definition.

Sayan, are those supposed to terminate or be killed automatically, or

Let me be very clear and avoid confusion:  :-)

* This post has been pulled back from the Magazine and the Planet.  It
  will 404 for page visitors.

* I will expect Joe B from the Cloud WG to tell us authoritatively
  through the *marketing* list exactly what should happen next, since
  he (correctly) raised the issue of ensuring zero confusion over
  publishing these articles.

Ideally this should have been settled between Cloud WG and rel-eng
before an article was proposed.  But failing that, we shouldn't
schedule any Magazine post about changes in deliverables without
clearly knowing it's decided.  (To be fair, that seemed to be the case
for at least a week, until dgilmore raised an objection.)  Better
communication will fix similar problems in the future.

The article apparently was left in Scheduled status -- I moved it back
to Pending Review status, and Patrick Uiterwijk kindly stripped it
from the Fedora Planet so it wouldn't confuse anyone.  It was out
there for a few hours, though, FYI.

I can't make tonight's Magazine meeting, but I'm +1 to get this out
ASAP.  I've moved this article to Pending Review, but I already
reviewed it and it looks fine.  I added a couple additional links for
SEO power.

Anything Justin OK's for schedule for this is fine by me, assume
+1. :-) And I'll be happy to help with social media, just please leave
me an email or IRC message to do so and I'll catch it in the morning.

Can someone in the Cloud WG please respond here?

It seems surprising not to see the list of AMIs in this list, for
instance, but there are probably other deliverables that need to be
here.

Hi Cloud SIG folks, I wanted to let you know that David Gay is
pursuing other opportunities outside the Fedora Engineering team at
Red Hat.  He told me he wants to continue to contribute to Fedora, so
you may still see him around.

In the meantime, I'm working with Kushal Das and others as needed to
pick up the critical tasks David was handling as part of his day job,
so Fedora releases aren't unduly affected.  If and when Red Hat opens
up a slot for that position, I'll let the community know.  Thanks as
always for your contributions and your understanding!

   We are on the hook for an Atomic Host release for F22, but I think I'd
   rather message why we're putting our weight behind a rapid-release host
   based on Fedora than dealing with two competing Fedora-based offerings.
   Has the spinner deciding whether the rapid-release host will be based
   on Rawhide or on $current come to a definitive rest yet?
  
   If the focus is on Rawhide, and we don't have interest / resources in
   keeping the $current branch up to date, I share Joe's concern — not
   just for confusion due to too many options, but also because in that
   case $current would almost always be the wrong choice (lagging CentOS
   and even RHEL). I think this would weigh heavily towards presenting
   that rawhide-based output on its own atomic.fpo home, because if
   $current is really going to be $outofdate, new users _will_ inevitably
   get the wrong thing.
  
   If development is done in Rawhide but also released to $current on a
   two-week cycle, I might have other worries, but this wouldn't be one of
   them. :)
  
  
  Apologies for joining in late folks.  I'd like to summarize (I hope) a few
  points that have been made in this thread and in a handful of
  side-conversations.
  
  If we want something that is able to be consistently released every two
  weeks, we will likely struggle with rawhide.  Although we all want rawhide
  to be usable day to day, it is not guaranteed to be stable and/or able to be
  built.  We, the Atomic team, are in no position to either A) force it to be
  stable or B) apply even more effort as part of Atomic beyond the core work
  to ensure that rawhide stabilizes every two weeks.
  
  So this pushes us in the $current direction.
  
  The primary concern with $current is that Atomic may, for a narrow set of
  core packages, wish to run slightly ahead of what is in updates-stable for
  $current.  However, I think this is more of a hypothetical/future concern at
  the moment.  The core elements (docker, kubernetes, and rpm-ostree/ostree)
  are being pushed out to updates-testing (and our CentOS CBS builds) pretty
  rapidly.  If we have a problem, it's that they are not being tested and/or
  promoted.
  
  So, two concrete options to consider:
  
  * Option 1
  
  We target our 2 week release efforts at $current, which should involve a
  greater focus on testing and karma-ing the Atomic components as they show up
  in updates-testing.
  
  This gets us the stable base and gets non-Atomic $current users a nice flow
  of updates to popular and topical packages.
  
  And, at the risk of stating the obvious, this in no way prevents rawhide
  Atomic spins.  The road to updates-testing passes through rawhide and the
  rawhide nightly compose, AIUI, already includes attempts at Atomic tree
  composes and Atomic images builds.
  
 
 So the Atomic spins would be $current + the updates-testing packages we
 care about (and have tested / have some influence over).  That spin
 would then be copied to the mirrors and we'd be able to link to it.
 
 There's a nice side benefit there which is if someone who's running non-atomic
 Fedora wants to look at the latest of docker, kubernetes, etcd, ostree,
 whatever, they could just enable updates-testing and have access.
 
 Sounds like all of the benefits of the original rawhide suggestion with
 none of the pain.
 
  * Option 2
  
  If at some point we feel we must carry some Atomic-focused updates that are
  not appropriate for $current, we maintain a very small side-tag to hold
  them.  This is essentially what we are already doing for CentOS in the
  atomic7-testing tag on the CBS koji instance here:
  
  http://cbs.centos.org/koji/taginfo?tagID=40
  
  Who exactly manages this tag and how content is promoted into it is TBD.
  
  I personally think we should at least try Option 1 with 2 as a fallback.
  
  Thoughts?
  
 
 +1 to at least trying option 1.

FWIW this makes sense to me, too.

In a chicken-and-egg twist, Atomic may hold part of the key(s) to
making Rawhide more reliably stable and usable in the future.  I think
Atomic stands a better chance for testing and visibility on $current
as already pointed out.  So eventually that will, I hope, yield more
effective iteration on features that allow us to build if not a less
broken Rawhide overall, than at least a more easily recoverable one.

This issue may be somewhat orthogonal to problems with building or
composition of Rawhide.  But still I hope it's a future possibility.

 text formatted and magazine versions can be prepared in advance.
 
 Workstation seems to be pretty covered, do we have any additions
 to Server and Cloud? The other thing is to get rid of all Beta
 strings.

 Thanks Joe for starting it and Paul for Workstation bit so
 far! We had the best Alpha/Beta announcements so far, let's 
 continue with this high bar :).

As you guys are crafting improved notes, for better consistency, it
would be great to write in present tense about the release.

  INCONSISTENT: Fedora 21 Foobar will include special flavor crystals
  that defy gravity and help you fly like Superman.

Better testimonial for site?

2014-11-21 Thread Paul W. Frields
Right now the Cloud flavor page on the new website has a single
testimonial:

“Fedora Atomic Host is the most up-to-date way to deploy Docker
containers.” – Joe Brockmeier, Cloud Dude

AIUI there were one or more Cloud WG contributors trying to get us a
better testimonial.  We've already shipped strings to translators but
we could put a better quote in place on Monday if someone actually
gets us the quote.

Can someone advise on status here?

Currently, the Atomic cloud image still tries to contact the

Do we know what the final mirrorlist URL will be?  Where are we on
getting content sync'd out?
   
   the metalink should be
   
   https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-atomic-21arch=x86_64
  
  Thanks, Dennis.  The attached patch should implement this, once we:
  
  1) Get https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/ostree-2014.11-1.fc21
  through 2) Recompose the tree with it
  3) Get a metalink generated pointing at that tree
 This likely needs work in mirrormanager to work. when mm detects the
 repo things happen automatically in the background. if mm can not
 detect a atomic tree it will do nothing and there will be no metalink
 url

Previously the location was discussed and I thought most of the
stakeholders had agreed to keep the Atomic trees on alt.fp.o, not on
mirrors.  Was this change (putting trees on mirrors) discussed with
the other stakeholders?

The reason I ask is that it appears that, for clients to use a
metalink, additional work is required on MirrorManager, which wasn't
planned.

As we mentioned in IRC, alternately this stuff can sit on mirrors and
not be used (yet?) until we have those changes made.  But we
definitely need it on a specific location (alt.fp.o) as well, so Colin
can point to that for now.

I assume this location can safely be changed later, once we have other
MirrorManager capability (either fixes in MM1 or, more likely, MM2)
available?

  4) Do some end-to-end testing of this

Spins issue

2011-03-01 Thread Paul W. Frields
As I was going through some email this morning I saw that the Spins
SIG is concerned that the Cloud SIG hasn't followed the Spins process
to get their ec2 labeled Spin included in the spins-kickstart
collection in git:

http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/spins/2011-March/001734.html

If the Cloud group needs to see this Spin included in the F15 release,
then my recommendation is to start talking with the Spins SIG about
the process.  I believe there's a deadline that's passed, although you
can request an exception and still make it into the release.

To the Spins SIG, I would also recommend keeping lines of
communication open if something goes wrong.  A Cc: to the cloud@ list,
for example, would help raise the issue to more people in a way that
would help reach a solution faster.

 I've talked to Dennis about this already, and this was simply a
 miscommunication on his part.
 
 As we're moving towards having Koji generate the release images for
 EC2, he needed a place to store the EC2 kickstart file so that it was
 public and being tracked in revision control, and so that Koji could
 pull the kickstart file when it generated the images.  As I understand
 it (and I'm sure Dennis will correct me if I'm wrong), Koji can either
 pull from packages.fedoraproject.org or from the spins git repo.  So,
 to make a long story short, Dennis put the EC2 kickstart file in the
 spins git repo out of convenience.  He wasn't trying to say that EC2
 was a spin.
 
 I've got to admit that I never saw the EC2 images as being a spin per
 se, but that's certainly a discussion we can have going forward.  As I
 re-read through the Spins guidelines, it's still not clear to me how
 this would even qualify as a spin -- it's really a different animal
 than our traditional spins.  At the same time, I think it needs a lot
 of the same process for review, oversight, and QA that we currently
 have in place for spins, so there might be some ability to roll the
 cloud images into the spins concept.  I'm certainly open to comments
 and suggestions either way.

OK, thanks for this explanation.  At the time it wasn't clear why the
kickstart file was coming to the spins-kickstart repo.  If there was a
need for it to be there, then I wanted to see the teams involved get
into a conversation about it.
