More information on Cloud spins
by Amit Saha
Hi everyone,
This is my first email on this list. I work for Red Hat, but I am writing here as the maintainer
of the Fedora Scientific Spin [1], a KDE based Fedora spin aiming to cater to the needs of
Linux users whose work and play involves number crunching,
and all related work. I have some docs here, which are (yet!) to be completed [2].
I happened to come across a ticket that aims to create cloud images for spins. I haven't
followed any discussion at all on that. Where can I learn more about this? Basically,
I am interested to see if a stripped down version of Fedora Scientific can be offered
as a cloud image as well.
Thank you.
Best,
Amit.

Hi all,
According to our governance charter[1] the working group's nine voting

Joe Brockmeier
Haïkel Guémar
Sam Kottler
Sandro Mathys
Matthew Miller (FESCo Liaison)
Frankie Onuonga

If you're interested in continuing membership, could you please
confirm by the next IRC meeting on Thursday next week? Alternatively,
if anyone would like to step down this is a good time to do so.
This is members with a binding vote on any decisions that need to be
voted on - anyone, of course, is welcome and encouraged to participate
in cloud WG activities, meetings, etc.
Best,
jzb

The special extlinux + grub1 situation in current Fedora Cloud
by Colin Walters
Hello cloud dwellers,
So I was looking at rpm-ostree + EC2 stuff, and digging into the
current Fedora cloud image, I hadn't realized just how special it is.
Basically we have extlinux in the VBR, and
/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf. This is used by qemu-kvm/OpenStack. But
in order to support EC2's pv-grub, we also have /boot/grub/grub.conf
which is generated by hand from the kickstart file.
Then for upgrades, grubby knows how to update both config files. Due
to the way grubby is implemented, it also handles the fact that they
have *different* kernel arguments. We're conflating EC2 with grub1,
and setting console=hvc0.
So...ostree is really not set up to handle this. A bit of background -
ostree is designed around the BLS:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/BootLoaderSpec/
Concretely it writes /boot/loader.[01]/entries/ostree-<data>.conf
for each root. Why [01]? That's how the atomic updates are
implemeted, when we want to update the config, we create a new dir,
write files, then swap the symlink.
Not every bootloader implements the BLS (in fact it's mostly just
gummiboot and pjones' patch for grub2). So what OSTree does is update
traditional config files like /boot/syslinux.cfg from that config.
Now, I could probably with not too much effort synthesize both extlinux
and grub1 configs. But that wouldn't handle this case where we
actually have different kernel arguments.
What makes this situation uglier is writing the grub1 config by hand -
Anaconda still has code to write grub1 configs, even though the grub1
package no longer exists in Fedora.
Would anyone be opposed to having separate kickstarts for EC2 versus
qemu/kvm? It feels like with EC2 it'd be less magical if we used the
new "bootloader --disabled" to skip installing extlinux (or grub2) at
all, and kept our hack to create the grub1 config.
Then for OpenStack we use extlinux. These kickstart files would of
course inherit from a common content definition/configuration base.
BTW - another argument for splitting is that with GCE, we'll likely
want a custom configuration for cloud-init (or min-metadata-service) to
have it DTRT.
Thoughts?
