Hello,

coming back to earlier discussions, also during the monthly call, I have my repos back up to speed to make Uyuni deployable again. This time AlmaLinux.
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:sbluhm:systemsmanagement:Uyuni:Other:EL8
If you link to this repo, all packages of Uyuni:Master and Uyuni Master:Other should build (excluding any Go packages, cobbler and ones I missed).

Packages required for server installation (publish):

apache-commons-daemon
apache-commons-digester
apache-commons-discovery
apache-commons-fileupload
apache-commons-validator
btrfs-progs
dom4j
ecj
geronimo-jta
icu4j
javapackages-tools
joda-time
nekohtml
openslp
protobuf
python-certifi
python-debian
python-futures
python-m2crypto
python-pycurl
python-singledispatch
python-tornado
python-ws4py
python-zmq
python2-msgpack
python2-typing
python3-psycopg2
python3-pycryptodomex
python3-pyyaml
servletapi5
snapper
spacewalk-selinux
tomcat
unix2_chkpwd
xpp3


Packages required for build only:

apache-commons-el
apache-commons-fileupload-kit
docbook-utils
dom4j-kit
geronimo-jaxrpc
geronimo-jaxrpc-kit
geronimo-saaj
geronimo-saaj-kit
jaxen
jaxen-kit
joda-convert
maven-javadoc-plugin 3.2.0
maven-javadoc-plugin-kit 3.2.0
maven-javadoc-plugin-kit 3.0.0
maven-javadoc-plugin 3.0.0
meson
mod_wsgi
msv-kit
msv-xsdlib
openSUSE-build-key
perl-Try-Tiny
protobuf-kit
python2-simplejson
servletapi4
snakeyaml
wsdl4j
xml-commons-apis-bootstrap
xstream


So still waiting for instructions how to best proceed with this.

Thank you,

Stefan

Subject: Re: Merging custom CentOS packages to Master
 
Hi Stefan

We need a bit of time to review this an give a proper answer.
We hope that we can enable CentOS building on Master by end of the week and then we can try
some tricks to include a selection of EPEL and PowerTools packages into a resulting repo for Uyuni server.
These packages would be refreshed with every "release" of Uyuni. So we would get also
fixes of these packages when they appear in EPEL/PowerTools.

What would help is, if you could provide a list of packages which are required and the source where
it come from. Also packages you want to submit newly .

And the list of Steams which needs to be enabled would help too.

Thanks

If we go for loading all packages of point 2) into OBS, we might as well add the ones from the modules and create an Uyuni Server module (one per major release?). That would simplify the user experience and probably use the module system as intended (but kill maintainability...).
