Hi,
I mentioned at the community meeting that Netgate currently builds &
distributes VPP RPMs for CentOS 8 and I would need to confirm
internally whether disabling those jobs would cause any problems for us.
I confirmed that we do not have any issue with removing those CI jobs.
We generate our own RPMs and do not distribute the ones that are
uploaded to packagecloud. Since the Makefiles & spec files for
building RPMs will be left intact and we will still be able to
generate RPMs on our own, we have no objection to the CI jobs being
disabled.
Thanks!

Folks,
The RPM builds have been unmaintained for a couple years now and
the CentOS-8 jobs have become the long pole in the CI
verification cycle as well as costing time to maintain the builds
due to changes upstream.
I am proposing that the vpp-*-master-centos-8-* jobs be removed
from the CI until someone steps up to invest in removal of the
technical debt that has accumulated in the RPM build infrastructure.
If no one steps up to maintain the RPM build infrastructure, then
I would also recommend that it be removed from the VPP build
infrastructure as well.
Damjan, can you please add this to the agenda for tomorrow's VPP
Monthly Community meeting?
Fully agree. Will add….
