Good Morning Everyone,
So here are some of the changes that we have worked on over the last few weeks:
* We have worked on some documentation on how to integrate container images while building images. This documentation can be found at: https://sigs.centos.org/automotive/building/containers/
* We have worked with the CentOS infrastructure to allow using the flat dist-git layout in CBS. Announce: https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2022-February/120223.html
* We have started a discussion around the structure of the lookaside used in CentOS: https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2022-February/120226.html
* We have fixed our sample images to use the `kernel-automotive` package instead of the old `kernel-auto` package (oups!). This simple fix, fixes booting a graphical user interface on the raspberry pi 4
* We have refreshed our sample images available at: https://pingou.fedorapeople.org/images/
* We have expanded the documentation available at: https://sigs.centos.org/automotive/ with information about: * The use of content resolver to define the content * How to download the RPMs of interest to the automotive SIG
Just a few notes about building images currently: - It looks like CentOS-Stream 9 may have a bug which prevents building image. This is known and being investigated, we'll just have to wait a little. - The rpi4 sample images mentioned above can boot a desktop environment using Wayland if the raspberry pi is configured to use ACPI. If the raspberry pi is configured to use device-tree, Wayland isn't starting correctly. Editing `/etc/gdm/custom.conf` to disable Wayland will make the session start with Xorg, which works fine. - Neptune itself segfaults on launch currently, this is also known and we're looking into it (likely simply needs a rebuild).
Happy hacking!
