Re: Red Hat & Fedora -- largely stepping out of this ecosystem

2023-06-29 Thread David Duncan
contributors to the 
Hyperscale SIG are also supporting work on Fedora Asahi and Fedora ELN just as 
fast! ( I am looking at you Davide and Neal). I am betting on the community to 
welcome the clones and help them find their dividing lines as well as accept 
their fixes and assist them in their CI and validations.  This Red Hat decision 
didn't exclude the clones, it just made the fact that the bar has been set 
higher for community participation a more clearly defined action IMO.

So I am terribly surprised by the statement that you won't be coming with us. I 
see you as someone who could really help the clones be a part of the community 
and help them navigate the early introduction into the CentOS Stream and ELN 
communities.  If you ever decide to return as a Fedora/CentOS/RHEL user for 
your own reward, I'll be in the line that welcomes you back and looks forward 
to your help.

Thanks Neal!

Responding inline, but from gmail, so it's not as pretty as I would like.

Yes. I would say that is what is needed. I'll create that change proposal.

I believe that Nikola is linking to the system libraries, similar to the
way we did it in the original submission. We had a reasonably long
conversation on that when he created the review.

When we retire the awscli (the v1) I thought it would be beneficial to
ensure that there is a "Provides: awscli" in the awscli2, but it's actually
already there. I forgot and didn't look before I spoke. It's there, so
ignore this bit.

Heads up! Nforro's awscli2 is working. It's time to retire the awscli

2023-05-13 Thread David Duncan
Now that awscli2 is out and functional. Gwyn and I are thinking it's time to 
retire the original awscli package in favor of this one. We are thinking that 
it will be best to keep the awscli (v1) maintained until the release of F39 
later this year and retire it from the active releases it at that time.  If 
there is anyone taking a dependency here that thinks that they will need more 
time, please let us know. 

 Nikola is working directly with Kyle Knapp, the cli developer at Amazon, on 
the python-awscrt (common c runtime libs) and the awscli2 and making great 
progress on getting a packit configuration in the upstream source for 
automating test runs and builds. It's definitely the better model. 

Ultimately, I think that awscli should be an alias to the awscli.

As frequently as I find myself working in a different environment due to 
various constraints, having the fedpkg bits available in other environments — 
even homebrew — sounds like a win in my opinion.

And this is exactly what we need in my opinion. 

It sounds like there has been a great deal of thought put into what the 
developers can manage on the supporting team, but it also appears that issues 
have prevented direct contribution based on some sort of misconfiguration in 
the repository, though it sounds like this is fixed as of this discussion. It 
still speaks to more than a year of complication in contribution. Is Neal 
really the only one who was impacted by the inability to submit a PR?  

I think that creating choice is the right response and that’s exactly why we 
created a dually supported boot model in the cloud (soon-to-be-edition again) 
working group (thank you Neal and Gerd). Choice is our best tool in the freedom 
toolkit. I have heard many say that there is no rush to remove support for 
hardware that is in use by those of the community that may not be capable of 
switching. I would like to see a period of joint support in Fedora with the 
promise that the legacy-bios support will be removed when it no longer serves 
the community, but not before that time is clear. It obviously does have an end 
date consistent with F37 release. 

VMware’s deprecation does not set a date. It sets the promise of announcing a 
date at a later time. I think we should follow suit. A future, as yet 
undetermined, Fedora release will not have legacy-bios and we understand that 
it is expected to follow a concerted effort to make moving to UEFI as easy as 
possible. If you have to fallback, there should be an immediately available 
option like Gerd and Neal have implemented in their changes.

 In the meantime, this is obviously going to require a rally of community 
support. As a community, we are going to have to limit the amount of explaining 
we need to do. To loosely quote the agile manifesto: It is better to focus on 
working code than to focus on comprehensive documentation. I see that as a 
directive to ship support for both boot models in all editions for at the very 
least, one release and better to provide a minimum of two.

I made that sound like an imperative. That was a mistake. I wanted to

+1 on the individual participation for mentoring. My difficulties are
specific and typically I find a helpful hint in the classroom content,
but then it moves in an abstract way and I am lost in trying to follow
bugs upstream and matching the speed of my colleagues who are much
better at packaging who just take over the duties and leave me with
nothing to do.
