Factory 2, Sprint 8 Report

Jan 16, 2017 | categories: sprint, factory2, fedora View Comments

Happy New Year from the Factory 2.0 team.

Here's a reminder of our current priorities. We are:

  • Preparing elementary build infrastructure for the Fedora 26 Alpha release.
  • Deserializing pipeline processes that could be done more quickly in parallel.
  • Building a dependency chain database, so that we can build smarter rebuild automation and pipeline analytics.
  • Monitoring pipeline performance metrics, so that as we later improve things we can be sure we had an effect.

We are on track with respect to three of the four priorities: module build infrastructure will be ready before the F26 Alpha freeze. Our VMs are provisioned, we're working through the packaging rituals, and we'll be ready for an initial deployment shortly after devconf. Internally, our MvP of resultsdb and resultsdb-updater are working and pulling data from some early-adopter Platform Jenkins masters and our internal performance measurement work is bearing fruit slowly but steadily: we have two key metrics updating automatically on our kibana dashboard, with two more in progress to be completed in the coming sprints.

We have made a conscious decision to put our work on the internal depedency chain database on hold. We're going to defer our deployment to production for a few months to ensure that our efforts don't collide with a separate release engineering project ongoing now.

Tangentially, we're glad to be assisting with the adoption of robosignatory for automatic rpm signing. It's an excellent example of upstream/downstream cooperation between the Fedora and RHEL services teams.

mbs-optimization, by jkaluza

This demo shows optimizations of module build in module build service comparing the diagrams from old and new version of MBS.

resultsdb-updater-pdc-updater-updates, by mprahl

This demo shows the changes in ResultsDB-Updater and how it reflects in ResultsDB. Additionally, progress is shown on pdc-updater working internally.

developers-instance, by fivaldi

In this video, I am presenting local devleoper's instance of MBS using docker-compose. The aim is to provide the simplest way of a custom MBS instance for dev/testing purposes. At the end, I'm showing how to submit a testing module build.

fedpkg-pdc-modulemd, by jkaluza

This demo shows the newly implemented "fedpkg module-build" command workflow and improved storage of module metadata in the PDC.

mbs-scheduler-and-resultsdb-prod, by mprahl

This demo briefly explains the changes in the Module Build Service scheduler to use fedmsg's "Hub-Consumer" approach. Additionally, ResultsDB is briefly shown in production with results populated from ResultsDB-Updater.

module-checks-in-taskotron, by threebean

In this demo, I show how we've wrapped elementary tests produced by the base-runtime team so that they can be executed and managed by the taskotron CI system in place in Fedora Infrastructure. Benefits include:

  • No lock-in to taskotron. Jenkins-job-builder could wrap the core test in a similar way.
  • An avocado-to-resultsdb translator is written which will be generally useful in future sprints.

Work on taskotron-trigger to automatically respond to dist-git events was implemented and merged upstream, but is pending a release and deployment.
