Foreman Nightly

  • The plugins pipeline is failing on repoclosure with unresolved deps: (foreman-opentofu-selinux if selinux-policy-targeted)
  • foreman-staging-repoclosure-el9 failing on repoclosure too: unresolved deps: npm(diff) = 5.2.0
  • hammer jobs failed with “No test results found”. We’ll retrigger them to see if it is transient. Otherwise, we’ll file a fix.

Foreman 3.18

Foreman 3.17


Katello 4.20

  • Status Updates
    • No releases planned at the moment
    • Katello folks would like to handle (small) Katello releases within a given X.Y series - Z-streams.
      • Release engineers to make sure we have up-to-date procedures in the foreman-rel-eng to reduce ambiguity.
      • Katello folks can start anytime they want :slight_smile:

Pulp Integration

  • Current Status
    • [Odilon] Pulp 105 needs a bunch of new packages for pulp-python
    • [Quinn] The 3.105 upgrade is going well but we’ll need a one line change to pulp-python to allow for smart proxy repository sync when not using publications.
    • We expect backports to pulp-container due to postquantum crypto support
      • It’s Rust. We need to vendor stuff
      • We can’t merge changes to pulp-container to 3.85 atm, we’re waiting for 3.105 branching
    • Katello 4.21 to be updated to pulpcore 3.105
      • We’ll need a new Postgres with 3.105 because of Django 5
        • We confirmed with Candlepin - Candlepin should work with the new Postgres
        • We need to test whether migrations work as expected
