Preview repository
Generic information about Preview repository: https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/Preview_Repository
Note: EGI provides the preview repository without any additional quality assurance process, but the products are released as they are provided by the product team. EGI recommends the use of the UMD repositories, which contain software verified through the quality assurance process of UMD.
Operations
Software upgrades for OpenStack cloud RCs
- keystone-VOMS and cloud-info-provider updates available, need to be installed on all OpenStack sites
- as keystone-VOMS last version is only compatible with Liberty and Mitaka, if OpenStack is Kilo (or older) a plan for upgrade of OpenStack has been asked
- according to EGI policies https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/PROC16_Decommissioning_of_unsupported_software OpenStack Kilo or older should NOT be running on the infrastructure! we are asking for discussing this point at the next OMB (October 27)
- as many sites are finding difficulties in planning upgrades against the very tight release cycle of OpenStack, please come with suggestion and reply with details in the tickets in order to shape the best (shared) proposal
- ticket campaign ONGOING for all OpenStack sites, see i.e. https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=124217 (this example already solved)
