Decommissioning

As of Q1 2022, we are planning to decommission all CentOS Stream 8 source-git branches (c8s, c8, c8s-stream-*) and repositories hosted on gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/src.

Stage 1

1. Identify c8-only repos (see packages.json)

2. Send an email including a link to the list of repositories and branches to be archived and deleted.

3. Stop the d2s update service.

4. Archive the c8s-only repos & update description of a repo stating they will be deleted in a week

(Wait for a week for some feedback)

Stage 2

4. Delete the c8-only repos

5. Lock down c8* branches on the rest of the repos: disallow push & merge (except for kernel/centos-stream-8)

(Wait for a week for some feedback)

Stage 3

6. Delete the rest of the c8* branches

7. Decommission rest of the related content:

   • This repo
   • d2s repo
   • Clean up Jira tasks
   • Remove credentials
   • Clean up deployment scripts
   • Ask for deletion for the git.centos.org packit user account
   • Archive packit/packit-service-centosmsg
   • Go through research topics and archive as needed
   • Drop scraping of the /metrics endpoint in internal prometheus
   • Delete the maintain rotating role

8. Announce to the public the changes were done

Deprecated - how to use this repo

Since we're going to drop the repositories, code in this repo is no longer relevant. We will archive this repository once the decommissioning is finished.

Configure

For PAGURE_TOKEN & GITLAB_TOKEN see secrets/stg/packit-service.yaml in our private repo. For DISTGIT_TOKEN see secrets/prod/packit-service.yaml in our private repo.

Don't forget to sudo setenforce 0 otherwise mock fails with /bin/mount -n -t tmpfs -o rprivate tmpfs /var/lib/mock/centos-stream-x86_64-bootstrap/root/proc

Run

List of packages to be onboarded is in onboard/input/input-pkgs.yml.

For each package:
    clone rpm (dist-git) repo
    clone source-git repo if exists
    check spec file for setup/autosetup/conditional patch
    Dist2Src.convert()
    create srpm & mock build
    write result to onboard/input/result.yml
    if mock build succeeded:
      create source-git project/repo if not cloned previously
      push source-git repo

If you want to skip the mock build part, set SKIP_BUILD to any value, e.g. SKIP_BUILD=yes make run-onboard. This is useful if you want to onboard a package which has some minor build issue, like

• missing build dependency
• some failing test(s)

If you prove that it behaves the same even with the package being added to VERY_VERY_HARD_PACKAGES then it should be OK to onboard such package.

If you want to update already existing branch in a source-git repo, put your package:branch into onboard/input/update-pkgs.yml and run UPDATE=yes make run-onboard.
