Bits from early February 2025
Lets keep the blogging rolling. This week went by really fast, but a lot of it for me was answering emails and pull requests and meetings. Those are all important, but sometimes it makes it seem like not much was actually accomplished in the week.
riscv secondary koji hub
I got some x86 buildvm's setup. These are to do tasks that don't need to be done on a riscv builder, like createrepo/newrepos or the like. I'm still having a issue with auth on them however, which is related to the auth issue with the web interface. Will need to get that sorted out next week.
f42 branching day
Tuesday was the f42 branching day. It went pretty smoothly this cycle I think, but there's always a small number of things to sort out. It's really the most complex part of the release cycle for releng. So many moving parts and dispirate repos and configs needing changing. This time I tried to stay out of actually doing anything, in favor of just providing info or review for Samyak who was doing all the work. I mostly managed to do that.
Datacenter move
Planning for the datacenter move is moving along. I've been working on internal documents around the stuff that will be shipped after we move, and next week I am hoping to start a detailed plan for the logical migration itself. It's a pretty short timeline, but I am hoping it will all go smoothly in the end. We definitely will be in a better place with better hardware once we are done, so I am looking forward to that.
