Thanks for sharing, I had no clue this existed!  I'll take a tour when I have some spare cycles.

As my father used to say, "Learn something new every day!" :)

Hey!

Clear—I can fix a server running RHEL, but the technical debt remains, which is something that still needs to be done, and I'm not an expert at that :-)

Nucleo -> https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/nucleo/vpp-git/

Regular updates of all packages—which currently work perfectly (for now) on my RHEL 9 (BGP router) production systems. I've built them myself before, but I figured if someone is already doing it, I'm more than happy to reuse it.

    Hi Peter-Paul,

    At the present time, both human and compute resources are very
    limited, so cost is always the limiting factor.

    First and foremost, there needs to be a maintainer who diligently
    reviews rpm build changes and actively monitors/fixes rpm build
    failures.

    Second, there needs to be a statement of need from a qualified
    consumer of VPP -- that is a person, company, or open source
    project actively and publicly participating in the FD.io community
    on a regular basis and a requirements specification / proposal.

    In general, the build environment is a pile of technical debt that
    has been on my TODO list to clean up for several years.  I'm
    willing to help by merging non ubuntu/debian build env changes,
    but adding the rpm build env back into the CI without cleaning up
    the technical debt is not something that I would be willing to
    commit to investing in.

    Thanks,
    -daw-

    ps. What's nucleo?

    Hey Dave,

    What would you need eg a list/tasks to have a permanent redhat
    build env integrated as well?

        Hi Alexan,

        At one point in time, Red Hat developers created, then
        maintained the VPP rpm build infrastructure as part of the
        CI.  Later, priorities changed and the CI verification was
        decommissioned.  Since that time, the rpm builds have been
        maintained by interested vpp consumers on an ad-hoc basis.

        Given that there is no way for committers to know that a
        gerrit change is working, please include a statement of
        testing (e.g. 'Manually tested in local build environment by
        <submitter>') in the comment section of the commit message,
        apply a 'Code-review +1' in gerrit, and send email to
        [email protected]. At that point, I will merge the gerrit
        change.

        Thank you for your contributions to FD.io/VPP!
