I see that CentOS board (and Davide) wrote this though : https://sigs.centos.org/guide/spin/ but it doesn't explain in details how to proceed. Neal mentioned kiwi (still not working, but it's investigated at koji side), while other people are pushing harder for ImageBuilder. (seems the future) So ideally we'd have a discussion on this list about how that should be done/built. And after that, we'll have to work on the releng part to let SIGs tag such images so that they'll go out to the mirror network : so far we only had to deal with RPM packages/repositories, and so the current scripts that signs/pushes pkgs wouldn't know what to with cloud images/appliances/iso images :) ... Should be be easy to plumb though, the same way we already worked on the .iso for the Kmods SIGs (https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/418) So my take on this new SIG is : before anything else, it should be discussed here (and common process so that we don't have different ones in parallel) @Troy : as you started the SIG, what's the tool you had in mind that interact with koji/cbs.centos.org to let you build images ? So far we have an ImageFactory/OZ combo in place, but that was never used though. -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | twitter: @arrfab -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
