Factory 2.0, Sprint 3 Report

Nov 08, 2016 | categories: sprint, factory2, fedora View Comments

This was our first full sprint with the new team! Welcome, Jan Kaluza, Courtney Pacheco, Vera Karas, and Stanislav Ochotnicky. We're glad to have Filip Valder join us in sprint 4 starting today.

Our top priority in sprint 3 was making sure that the base runtime team isn't blocked. They have a big job ahead of themselves to curate and build a collection of base modules at the core of the distro, and they need to use our prototype build tooling to do it. Anytime they're blocked, the Factory 2.0 team is trying to chase down the solution -- fixing tracebacks and developing new features. Cheers to Matt Prahl and Jan Kaluza for staying on top of this.

Meanwhile, we're continuing apace with the Dependency Chain and Deserialization epics that we originally scheduled for work this quarter. Mike Bonnet has been chasing down difficult technical pre-requisites for the later (message bus enablement), Matt Prahl demoed his dependency chain web UI, and Courtney Pacheco is giving shape to our metrics project (so we can have some confidence that future pipeline changes we make actually improve the state of affairs).

As always, we're double-tasked with laying the groundwork for work in future quarters. Thanks to Stanislav Ochotnicky for starting the conversation with Platform representatives about workflow changes and continuous integration, and thanks to all those who participated in this round of resultsdb/CI discussions.

f26-changes, by threebean

Here I talk about the Change proposals we've filed with FESCo for the Fedora 26 release.

I talk about this in the video, but the changes are designed specifically to limit the amount of risk we impose on the rest of the release process and the Modularity initiative. We can use the F26 release to assess the viability of Modularity and decide then how far we want to go in the Fedora 27 timeframe.

In this demo I describe what is Mock Builder and why it is useful to Module Build Service. I also show it in action briefly.

pdc-tangle-web, by mprahl

In this demo I talk about an Angular2 web app I wrote called PDC Tangle Web. The app queries PDC based on the user's search criteria to show an artifact's dependencies. This is a beta version, so please keep in mind more features will come, but feel free to make suggestions on GitHub for what you'd like to see added.

resultsdb, by threebean

This one's just pointing you to a blog post that is a transcription of an internal document on resultsdb and our plans for it.

I know that showing off a blog post isn't all that exciting, but I'm glad we've gotten to this point. It is the product of a long process of discussion and eventual agreement.
