Hi centos-devel,

François Cami posted in December, seeking help to maintain the Ceph packages within the Storage SIG intiative [1].

With this, we've got reinforcements -- the new members of the storage SIG for Ceph packaging are:

• Giulio Fidente
• Thomas Oulevey

Thanks for your assistance! Niels

We've already begun kicking the tires and tagged Ceph Jewel 10.2.3 for release (which had been in testing since September). Ceph Jewel 10.2.5 has been built and will likely be tagged to -testing after some initial testing.

We're also in the process of updating Ceph Hammer from 0.94.6 to 0.94.9, although note that we're beyond the scheduled EOL territory for Hammer [2]. It does not seem Hammer is officially EOL yet, I'll reach out to upstream for details.

After Jewel and Hammer are both up to date and released, we will consider if we have the necessary resources to handle Kraken or if we'd prefer holding out for the next LTS release.

Also, one more thing to note is that we are moving away from maintaining our own dist-git repositories in favor of rebuilding straight from upstream source RPMs and have updated the github repository accordingly [3].

Please let us know if you have any questions !

I have a candidate build out for 0.94.9 [1] which might need to go out ASAP.

We've been having issues where 0.94.6 is hanging and failing in our CI under certain circumstances whereas I am unable to reproduce the problem on 0.94.9. I'm not able to put my finger on what the exact problem is - the problem reproduces on ci.centos.org jobs consistently where it does not elsewhere. This might be happening since CentOS 7.3 is out ? Maybe something related to that.

To get 0.94.9 to build, install and run, I needed to tag the following that were missing from ceph-hammer-candidate: - libbabeltrace [2] (would otherwise fail to build from source) - lttng-ust [3] (would otherwise fail to build from source) - userspace-rcu [4] (dependency for lttng-ust for liburcu-cds.so && liburcu-bp.so)

For the record, here's the spec file update for 0.94.6 to 0.94.9 [5].

Here's a sample .repo file to test it out: --- [centos-ceph-hammer-candidate] name=CentOS-7 - Ceph Hammer Candidate baseurl=http://cbs.centos.org/repos/storage7-ceph-hammer-candidate/x86_64/os/ gpgcheck=0 priority=1 enabled=1 ---

I've successfully tested 0.94.9 in an OpenStack use case (backing Nova, Glance, Cinder and Gnocchi) without problems but I'd like to hear back from at least someone else.

Thanks and let me know if you have any questions,
