[RDO][CentOS] RDO plans to move to CentOS Stream
Hi, As you know, CentOS announced recently that they will be focusing on CentOS Stream [1] and that CentOS Linux 8 will be EOL at the end of 2021 [2]. In order to align with this change, the RDO project is adapting the roadmap for the current and upcoming releases: - RDO Wallaby (ETA is end of April 2021 [3]) will be built, tested and released only for CentOS 8 Stream. - RDO CloudSIG repos for Victoria and Ussuri will be updated and tested for both CentOS Stream and CentOS Linux 8 until end of 2021 and then continue on CentOS Stream. - In the upcoming weeks, we will create new RDO CloudSIG repos for Victoria and Ussuri for CentOS Stream 8. - RDO Trunk repositories (aka DLRN repos) will be built and tested using CentOS 8 Stream for all releases currently using CentOS Linux 8 (starting with Train). If you are interested in the details about these plans and how we plan to implement it, we've created a blog post [4]. Don't hesitate to ask us in the ML or in the #rdo channel on freenode if you have questions or suggestions about this. We are also organizing a video AMA about RDO and CentOS Stream on Thursday Jan 21 1600 UTC in the RDO Meet room https://meet.google.com/uzo-tfkt-top On behalf of RDO, Alfredo [1] https://centos.org/distro-faq/ [2] https://blog.centos.org/2020/12/future-is-centos-stream/ [3] https://releases.openstack.org/ [4] https://blogs.rdoproject.org/2021/01/rdo-plans-to-move-to-centos-stream/

We are doing some initial CentOS 8 stream testing (on Train -> Wallaby releases) as tracked on http://dashboard-ci.tripleo.org/d/jwDYSidGz/rpm-dependency-pipeline?orgId=1. However, since the majority of the testing for RDO is done in upstream openstack, is there an estimate on when an upstream CentOS-8-Stream nodepool node will be available for check/gate testing? Thanks!
On behalf of RDO,
Alfredo

We expect to add it in June of last year. ;) https://review.opendev.org/734791 According to codesearch, looks like it's already being used for jobs in diskimage-builder, bifrost, openstacksdk... -- Jeremy Stanley

Oh sorry, I was looking at the wrong date, we added it in October. We also have package mirroring set up as best as I can tell (centos/8-stream on our mirror sites). -- Jeremy Stanley

Yes, I see centos-8-stream images ready for testing. I'm also adding jobs for packstack in https://review.opendev.org/c/x/packstack/+/770771

BTW, we need to merge https://review.opendev.org/c/zuul/zuul-jobs/+/770815 to get the proper 8-stream repos configured by configure-mirrors role
