Other Project updates

  • Rawhide Gating:
    • A call to arms email has been sent asking for testers for multi build
    • Single build workflow is working again and is aligned with multi-build workflows also
    • Update for the multi-build workflow needs to be created with autotime on, otherwise the update will not get pushed
    • Overview page of the remaining blockers and dependencies organized at: https://hackmd.io/Gbuu9JOPR–Y2yNCBEYI5A?view
    • Ci.centos.org is still not using fedora-messaging
    • Ci-resultsdb-listener with fedora-messaging and support for the new messages format is not deployed in production yet
  • repoSpanner
    • Developed another experimental patch that got us an ~83x speed up.
    • Got 122% performance patch merged.
    • Worked with smooge to get a repoSpanner cluster deployed on realistic cross-datacenter hardware.
    • repoSpanner is still extremely slow when all three DCs are used. Est. 58 minutes to push Bodhi into it, even with the 83x speedup patch. The team is investigating a solution.
