FAD Release Tools and Infrastructure 2015

This is the main page for FAD Release Tools and Infrastructure 2015. This hackathon is intended to take release tools and process to the next level in Fedora for F23/F24 and beyond.

• Modularize the compose process
• Replace serial bash script with easier to hack and maintain Python tools
• Establish dependency management of compose deliverables
• Cut time to provide updates to users for critical security fixes

Purpose

Technical goals TBD
There are Deliverables listed below that should be prioritized and collated with this list.

1. Our purpose is to complete the following primary goals:
   • Create repositories and workflow for code collaboration including patch review
     • Where will the code be stored? Where will patches and commit messages go?
     • Who can approve patches? How does one get commit access? (Note: This should be as many responsible/trusted committers as possible, in accordance with good community practice)
   • Complete any remaining architecture/design details for new release tools
     • As much of this should be worked out on mailing list and IRC before the FAD as possible
     • If additional VMs are needed, complete RFRs for infrastructure
   • Hack (possibly fedmsg-based) framework for product compose
   • (stand up VMs and/or ansible playbooks for required systems?)
   • ...
2. In addition, we will attempt to complete the following secondary goals as time allows:
   • Early sessions on Fedora Hubs design/user stories - Thursday, Fedora Engineering team members + Remy
   • ...
