Hi Everyone!
Travelling yesterday saw a delay in sending this weeks CPE email blast, but nevertheless, here it is!
Hope everyone has been having a great weekend and if you have any comments or feedback, please let me know- it is always welcome :)
Background:
The Community Platform Engineering group is the Red Hat team combining IT and release engineering from Fedora and CentOS. Our goal is to keep core servers and services running and maintained, build releases, and other strategic tasks that need more dedicated time than volunteers can give.
For better communication, we will be giving weekly reports to the CentOS and Fedora communities about the general tasks and work being done. Also for better communication between our groups we have created #redhat-cpe on Freenode IRC! Please feel free to catch us there, a mail has landed on both the CentOS and Fedora devel lists with context here.
Note:
This document is currently built from individual reports rolled into a google document which we edit and copy into a final document. We are aware that this causes problems with some email readers, and are working on a method to make this less problematic.
High Level Project Updates:
CentOS: The team is busy working on 8.1 Comps were produced and in git repo for next compose (pungi) Transmodrify tool rewritten to match the mbs/rpm needs Analyzing what RH hasn’t pushed and so that is needed Builds started and are being worked on for x86_64, ppc64le, aarch64 and armhfp architectures https://koji.mbox.centos.org/koji/index https://koji.armhfp-mbox.centos.org/koji/index
Infrastructure : Dealing with hardware issues on storage box , so opening tickets with the vendor and internal IT to play MITM and try to get this solved
Dealing with RCM having still issues to push to git.centos.org for some identified packages (reproducible) so now waiting on Repospanner maintainer to come with a fix and an ETA for new release that would fix it
Trying to provision some EC2 instances and working with Fedora to get proper access to be able to have proper AWS access for CentOS (also for S3)
Working on various PR for cbs-content-control and/or issues with mash on https://cbs.centos.org (now resolved)
Fedora:
Rawhide Gating: Bodhi 5.0 has been deployed in production We received some feedback about the changes in the UI and are looking at how we can address them. We are working on documenting on how packagers will use Bodhi for multi-builds updates in rawhide: https://github.com/fedora-infra/bodhi/issues/2322 https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=User:Nphilipp/Package_update_HOW...
A 5.1 release is scheduled, likely some time next week, to address some of the issues encountered and fixed in the 5.0 release.
repoSpanner Our team came across some test reliability issues last week & these are impeding progress on the 83x patch. Some more debugging/discussions around RCMs pushes that seem to be either very slow or hanging but the team is looking into some solutions Some progress was also made on the 83x patch however and we managed to fix one unreliable test.

Hello all,
Many thanks for this update.
Can someone provide additional information on what this 'Transmodrify' tool is/does? Does this mean that we are close to having a 'compose' build root / external repo available for cbs.centos.org ?
I know that the priority is releasing CentOS 8.1, however we at CERN are very much interested in this topic and would appreciate any additional information worth mentioning :)
Kind regards,
Ben 'figless' Morrice
