Foreman Nightly
-
We’re rebuilding nightly on EL10 - done 99%
- We need to get Update requirements for packages that are not present on EL10 like it was on EL9 by Odilhao · Pull Request #13927 · theforeman/foreman-packaging · GitHub in to fix the plugins pipeline
-
We’re one week past Foreman 5.0 prep week
- Branching is next week
- Translations for Katello master branch were started by @Zhunting
-
The release team is concerned about unclear messaging about EL9 to EL10 upgrade from Foreman maintainers. There hasn’t been clear guidance on this upgrade path, nor have timelines been set.
-
Open question: should we release EL10 with foreman-installer?
- Candlepin 5.0 can NOT be built on EL9.
- Current plan: Release rpm-based 5.0 on EL9 only with Candlepin 4.8. And release container-based 5.0 on EL10 with Candlepin 5.0.
- Do we have time to build rpm-based 5.0?
-
Candlepin 5.0 builds are in progress
- No issues found so far, except Fix Candlepin TLS cipher list for the OpenSSL FFM connector by Odilhao · Pull Request #724 · theforeman/foremanctl · GitHub .
- @iballou is on it
