Hi,
Apologies for asking an obviously newbie question here, but I got a bit
confused by the relationship between the CentOS Cloud SIG, RDO and the
repos enabled by installing "centos-release-openstack-<x>".
For example, I'm aware that upstream OpenStack is no longer supporting
Newton, but RHEL has support for RHOSP10 (based on Newton). I do see
that Newton's still listed on https://trunk.rdoproject.org/
First RHOSP and RDO are different distros, RDO is to RHOSP what Fedora
is to RHEL.
RDO follows the same lifecycle as upstream OpenStack, RHOSP lifecycle is
defined by Red Hat product management.
As for Newton, it's not EOL yet despite what website says. This month,
we had a Nova, puppet modules and TripleO updates.
Am I correct in assuming that the repos pointed to when a CentOS user
installs centos-release-openstack-<x> points to a set of packages that
was emitted from the RDO pipeline? Is this process manual or automated
to some degree?
RDO packages are built by an automated pipeline through our gerrit/zuul
instances in review.rdoproject.org.
RDO stable builds == CentOS Cloud SIG OpenStack builds
The only difference lies in the -release packages, the one in CentOS
extras enables more CentOS repositories for additional features.
rdo-release should be preferred for RHEL users as it enables less
external repos.
RDO trunk builds are meant to be consumed by CI pipeline or for the more
adventurous/advanced users (it's also an excellent way to apply
quickfixes too).
In a semi-related question: I've hit an issue with an outdated
puppet-pacemaker package in the centos-release-openstack-newton repo
that prevents deployment. There's an "easy fix" available by promoting
the pike version of said package to the same repo, but if Newton's been
sunset then this question is moot.
Well, that's something we can consider but it has to be discussed with
puppet modules maintainers. But updating newton by using the pike
version of the packages implies to update it in Ocata too. Otherwise we
break the upgrade path.
Apologies for the meandering ramble, if you need more details on the
last issue I can provide them.
It's always fine to ask questions :)
Regards,
H.
