The Rocky Linux Core Special Interest Group (SIG/Core) dedicates themselves to the development, building, management, production, and release of Rocky Linux for the Enterprise Linux community and the many users around the world. This group is a mixture of core Rocky Linux developers and infrastructure and the members of this group are also members of other groups within the Rocky Linux community (such as SIG/AltArch) as well as the Enterprise Linux community as a whole.

This section goes over at a high level how we compose releases for Rocky Linux. As most of our tools are home grown, we have made sure that the tools are open source and in our git services.

This page should serve as an idea of the steps we generally take and we hope that other projects out there who wish to also use our tools can make sure they can use them in this same way, whether they want to be an Enterprise Linux derivative or another project entirely.

For Rocky Linux to be build, we use Peridot as the build system and empanadas to \"compose\" the distribution. As we do not use Koji for Rocky Linux beyond version 9, pungi can no longer be used. Peridot instead takes pungi configuration data and comps and transforms them into a format it can understand. Empanadas then comes in to do the \"compose\" and sync all the repositories down.

This page goes over empanadas, which is part of the SIG/Core toolkit. Empanadas assists SIG/Core is composing repositories, creating ISO's, creating images, and various other activities in Rocky Linux. It is also used for general testing and debugging of repositories and its metadata.

"},{"location":"documentation/empanadas/#contact-information","title":"Contact Information","text":"Owner SIG/Core (Release Engineering & Infrastructure) Email Contact releng@rockylinux.org Mattermost Contacts @label @neil Mattermost Channels ~Development"},{"location":"documentation/empanadas/#general-information","title":"General Information","text":"

empanadas is a python project using poetry, containing various built-in modules with the goal to try to emulate the Fedora Project's pungi to an extent. While it is not perfect, it achieves the very basic goals of creating repositories, images and ISO's for consumption by the end user. It also has interactions with peridot, the build system used by the RESF to build the Rocky Linux distribution.

For performing syncs, it relies on the use of podman to perform syncing in a parallel fashion. This was done because it is not possible to run multiple dnf transactions at once on a single system and looping one repository at a time is not sustainable (nor fast).

As of this writing, empanadas has the following abilities:

The below is how to install empanadas from the development branch on a Fedora system.

% dnf install git podman fpart poetry mock -y\n% git clone https://git.resf.org/sig_core/toolkit.git -b devel\n% cd toolkit/iso/empanadas\n% poetry install\n
"},{"location":"documentation/empanadas/#configuring-empanadas","title":"Configuring Empanadas","text":"

Depending on how you are using empanadas will depend on how your configurations will be setup.

These configuration files are delicate and can control a wide variety of the moving parts of empanadas. As these configurations are fairly massive, we recommend checking the reference guides for deeper details into configuring for base distribution or \"SIG\" content.

"},{"location":"documentation/empanadas/#using-empanadas","title":"Using Empanadas","text":"

The most common way to use empanadas is to sync repositories from a peridot instance. This is performed upon each release or on each set of updates as they come from upstream. Below lists how to use empanadas, as well as the common options.

Note that for each of these commands, it is fully expected you are running poetry run in the root of empanadas.

# Syncs all repositoryes for the \"9\" release\n% poetry run sync_from_peridot --release 9 --clean-old-packages\n\n# Syncs only the BaseOS repository without syncing sources\n% poetry run sync_from_peridot --release 9 --clean-old-packages --repo BaseOS --ignore-source\n\n# Syncs only AppStream for ppc64le\n% poetry run sync_from_peridot --release 9 --clean-old-packages --repo AppStream --arch ppc64le\n

"},{"location":"sop/sop_compose/#syncing-composes","title":"Syncing Composes","text":"

Syncing utilizes the sync scripts provided in the release engineering toolkit.

When the scripts are being ran, they are usually ran with a specific purpose, as each major version may be different.

The below are common vars files. common_X will override what's in common. Typically these set what repositories exist and how they are named or look at the top level. These also set the current major.minor release as necessary.

.\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 common\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 common_8\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 common_9\n

These are for the releases in general. What they do is noted below.

\u251c\u2500\u2500 gen-torrents.sh                  -> Generates torrents for images\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 minor-release-sync-to-staging.sh -> Syncs a minor release to staging\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 prep-staging-X.sh                -> Preps staging updates and signs repos (only for 8)\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 sign-repos-only.sh               -> Signs the repomd (only for 8)\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 sync-file-list-parallel.sh       -> Generates file lists in parallel for mirror sync scripts\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 sync-to-prod.sh                  -> Syncs staging to production\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 sync-to-prod.delete.sh           -> Syncs staging to production (deletes artifacts that are no longer in staging)\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 sync-to-prod-sig.sh              -> Syncs a sig provided compose to production\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 sync-to-staging.sh               -> Syncs a provided compose to staging\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 sync-to-staging.delete.sh        -> Syncs a provided compose to staging (deletes artifacts that are no longer in the compose)\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 sync-to-staging-sig.sh           -> Syncs a sig provided compose to staging\n

Generally, you will only run sync-to-staging.sh or sync-to-staging.delete.sh to sync. The former is for older releases, the latter is for newer releases. Optionally, if you are syncing a \"beta\" or \"lookahead\" release, you will need to also provide the RLREL variable as beta or lookahead.

# The below syncs to staging for Rocky Linux 8\nRLVER=8 bash sync-to-staging.sh Rocky\n# The below syncs to staging for Rocky Linux 9\nRLVER=9 bash sync-to-staging.delete.sh Rocky\n

Once the syncs are done, staging must be tested and vetted before being sent to production. Once staging is completed, it is synced to production.

bash RLVER=8 sync-to-prod.sh\nbash RLVER=9 sync-to-prod.delete.sh\nbash sync-file-list-parallel.sh\n

During this phase, staging is rsynced with production, the file list is updated, and the full time list is also updated to allow mirrors to know that the repositories have been updated and that they can sync.

Note: If multiple releases are being updated, it is important to run the syncs to completion before running the file list parallel script.

"},{"location":"sop/sop_compose_8/#pungi","title":"Pungi","text":"

Each repository or set of repositories are controlled by various pungi configurations. For example, r8.conf will control the absolute base of Rocky Linux 8, which imports other git repository data as well as accompanying json or other configuration files.

"},{"location":"sop/sop_compose_8/#running-a-compose","title":"Running a Compose","text":"

Inside the pungi git repository, the folder scripts contain the necessary scripts that are ran to perform a compose. There are different types of composes:

Each script is titled appropriately:

When these scripts are ran, they generate an appropriate directory under /mnt/compose/X with a directory and an accompanying symlink. For example. If an update to Rocky was made using updates-8.sh, the below would be made:

drwxr-xr-x. 5 root  root  6144 Jul 21 17:44 Rocky-8-updates-20210721.1\nlrwxrwxrwx. 1 root  root    26 Jul 21 18:26 latest-Rocky-8 -> Rocky-8-updates-20210721.1\n

This setup also allows pungi to reuse previous package set data to reduce the time it takes to build a compose. Typically during a new minor release, all composes should be ran so they can be properly combined. Example of a typical order if releasing 8.X:

produce-8.sh\nupdates-8-devel.sh\nupdates-8-extras.sh\nupdates-8-plus.sh\n\n# ! OR !\nproduce-8-full.sh\n

The below are common vars files. common_X will override what's in common. Typically these set what repositories exist and how they are named or look at the top level. These also set the current major.minor release as necessary.

.\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 common\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 common_8\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 common_9\n

Generally, you will only run minor-release-sync-to-staging.sh when a full minor release is being produced. So for example, if 8.5 has been built out, you would run that after a compose. gen-torrents.sh would be ran shortly after.

When doing updates, the order of operations (preferably) would be:

* sync-to-staging.sh\n* sync-to-staging-sig.sh -> Only if sigs are updated\n* sync-to-prod.sh        -> After the initial testing, it is sent to prod.\n

An example of order:

# The below syncs to staging\nRLVER=8 bash sync-to-staging.sh Plus\nRLVER=8 bash sync-to-staging.sh Extras\nRLVER=8 bash sync-to-staging.sh Rocky-devel\nRLVER=8 bash sync-to-staging.sh Rocky\n

Once the syncs are done, staging must be tested and vetted before being sent to production. During this stage, the updateinfo.xml is also applied where necessary to the repositories to provide errata. Once staging is completed, it is synced to production.

bash RLVER=8 sync-to-prod.sh\nbash sync-file-list-parallel.sh\n

During this phase, staging is rsynced with production, the file list is updated, and the full time list is also updated to allow mirrors to know that the repositories have been updated and that they can sync.

Note: If multiple releases are being updated, it is important to run the syncs to completion before running the file list parallel script.

Fastly sits in front of mirror manager. VPN is required to access the /admin endpoints.

This will generate a table. You can take the IDs in the first column and use the database to disable them by ID (table name: hosts) or go to https://mirrors.rockylinux.org/mirrormanager/host/ID and uncheck 'User active'.

Users can change user active, but they cannot change admin active. It is better to flip user active in this case.

Admins can also view https://mirrors.rockylinux.org/mirrormanager/admin/all_sites if necessary.

This SOP contains general checklists required by SIG/Core to prepare and plan for the upcoming release. This work, in general, is required to be done on a routine basis, even months out before the next major or minor release, as it requires monitoring of upstream's (CentOS Stream) work to ensure Rocky Linux will remain ready and compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

It is expected to monitor the following repositories upstream, as these will indicate what is coming up for a given major or point release. These repositories are found at the Red Hat gitlab.

These repositories can be monitored by setting to \"all activity\" on the bell icon.

Upon changes to the upstream repositories, SIG/Core member should analyze the changes and apply the same to the lookahead branches:

"},{"location":"sop/sop_upstream_prep_checklist/#general-downward-merging","title":"General Downward Merging","text":"

Repositories that generally track for LookAhead and Beta releases will flow downward to the stable branch. For example:

* rXs / rXlh\n      |\n      |----> rX-beta\n                |\n                |----> rX\n

This applies to any specific rocky repo, such as comps, pungi, peridot-config, and so on. As it is expected some repos will deviate in commit history, it is OK to force push, under the assumption that changes made in the lower branch exists in the upper branch. That way you can avoid changes/functionality being reverted on accident.

For Rocky Linux to be build, we use Peridot as the build system and empanadas to \"compose\" the distribution. As we do not use Koji for Rocky Linux beyond version 9, pungi can no longer be used. Peridot instead takes pungi configuration data and comps and transforms them into a format it can understand. Empanadas then comes in to do the \"compose\" and sync all the repositories down.

empanadas is a python project using poetry, containing various built-in modules with the goal to try to emulate the Fedora Project's pungi to an extent. While it is not perfect, it achieves the very basic goals of creating repositories, images and ISO's for consumption by the end user. It also has interactions with peridot, the build system used by the RESF to build the Rocky Linux distribution.

For performing syncs, it relies on the use of podman to perform syncing in a parallel fashion. This was done because it is not possible to run multiple dnf transactions at once on a single system and looping one repository at a time is not sustainable (nor fast).

"},{"location":"documentation/empanadas/#configuring-empanadas","title":"Configuring Empanadas","text":"

Depending on how you are using empanadas will depend on how your configurations will be setup.

These configuration files are delicate and can control a wide variety of the moving parts of empanadas. As these configurations are fairly massive, we recommend checking the reference guides for deeper details into configuring for base distribution or \"SIG\" content.

"},{"location":"documentation/empanadas/#using-empanadas","title":"Using Empanadas","text":"

The most common way to use empanadas is to sync repositories from a peridot instance. This is performed upon each release or on each set of updates as they come from upstream. Below lists how to use empanadas, as well as the common options.

Note that for each of these commands, it is fully expected you are running poetry run in the root of empanadas.

# Syncs all repositoryes for the \"9\" release\n% poetry run sync_from_peridot --release 9 --clean-old-packages\n\n# Syncs only the BaseOS repository without syncing sources\n% poetry run sync_from_peridot --release 9 --clean-old-packages --repo BaseOS --ignore-source\n\n# Syncs only AppStream for ppc64le\n% poetry run sync_from_peridot --release 9 --clean-old-packages --repo AppStream --arch ppc64le\n

First, the toolkit must be cloned. In the iso/empanadas directory, run poetry install. You'll then have access to the various commands needed:

Syncing utilizes the sync scripts provided in the release engineering toolkit.

When the scripts are being ran, they are usually ran with a specific purpose, as each major version may be different.

The below are common vars files. common_X will override what's in common. Typically these set what repositories exist and how they are named or look at the top level. These also set the current major.minor release as necessary.

Generally, you will only run sync-to-staging.sh or sync-to-staging.delete.sh to sync. The former is for older releases, the latter is for newer releases. Optionally, if you are syncing a \"beta\" or \"lookahead\" release, you will need to also provide the RLREL variable as beta or lookahead.

# The below syncs to staging for Rocky Linux 8\nRLVER=8 bash sync-to-staging.sh Rocky\n# The below syncs to staging for Rocky Linux 9\nRLVER=9 bash sync-to-staging.delete.sh Rocky\n

Once the syncs are done, staging must be tested and vetted before being sent to production. Once staging is completed, it is synced to production.

bash RLVER=8 sync-to-prod.sh\nbash RLVER=9 sync-to-prod.delete.sh\nbash sync-file-list-parallel.sh\n

During this phase, staging is rsynced with production, the file list is updated, and the full time list is also updated to allow mirrors to know that the repositories have been updated and that they can sync.

Note: If multiple releases are being updated, it is important to run the syncs to completion before running the file list parallel script.

This SOP covers how the Rocky Linux Release Engineering Team handles composes and repository syncs for Rocky Linux 8. It contains information of the scripts that are utilized and in what order, depending on the use case.

Please see the other SOP for Rocky Linux 9+ that are managed via empanadas and peridot.

There are several git repositories used in the overall composition of a repository or a set of repositories.

Pungi - This repository contains all the necessary pungi configuration files for composes that come from koji. Pungi interacts with koji to build the composes.

Comps - This repository contains all the necessary comps (which are groups and other data) for a given major version. Pungi uses this information to properly build the repositories.

Toolkit - This repository contains various scripts and utilities used by Release Engineering, such as syncing composes, functionality testing, and mirror maintenance.

"},{"location":"sop/sop_compose_8/#composing-repositories","title":"Composing Repositories","text":"

For every stable script, there is an equal beta or lookahead script available.

"},{"location":"sop/sop_compose_8/#mount-structure","title":"Mount Structure","text":"

There is a designated system that takes care of composing repositories. These systems contain the necessary EFS/NFS mounts for the staging and production repositories as well as composes.

"},{"location":"sop/sop_compose_8/#pungi","title":"Pungi","text":"

Each repository or set of repositories are controlled by various pungi configurations. For example, r8.conf will control the absolute base of Rocky Linux 8, which imports other git repository data as well as accompanying json or other configuration files.

"},{"location":"sop/sop_compose_8/#running-a-compose","title":"Running a Compose","text":"

Inside the pungi git repository, the folder scripts contain the necessary scripts that are ran to perform a compose. There are different types of composes:

Each script is titled appropriately:

When these scripts are ran, they generate an appropriate directory under /mnt/compose/X with a directory and an accompanying symlink. For example. If an update to Rocky was made using updates-8.sh, the below would be made:

drwxr-xr-x. 5 root  root  6144 Jul 21 17:44 Rocky-8-updates-20210721.1\nlrwxrwxrwx. 1 root  root    26 Jul 21 18:26 latest-Rocky-8 -> Rocky-8-updates-20210721.1\n

This setup also allows pungi to reuse previous package set data to reduce the time it takes to build a compose. Typically during a new minor release, all composes should be ran so they can be properly combined. Example of a typical order if releasing 8.X:

produce-8.sh\nupdates-8-devel.sh\nupdates-8-extras.sh\n\n# ! OR !\nproduce-8-full.sh\n
"},{"location":"sop/sop_compose_8/#syncing-composes","title":"Syncing Composes","text":"

Syncing utilizes the sync scripts provided in the release engineering toolkit.

When the scripts are being ran, they are usually ran for a specific purpose. They are also ran in a certain order to ensure integrity and consistency of a release.

The below are common vars files. common_X will override what's in common. Typically these set what repositories exist and how they are named or look at the top level. These also set the current major.minor release as necessary.

.\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 common\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 common_8\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 common_9\n

These are for the releases in general. What they do is noted below.

\u251c\u2500\u2500 gen-torrents.sh                  -> Generates torrents for images\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 minor-release-sync-to-staging.sh -> Syncs a minor release to staging\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 sign-repos-only.sh               -> Signs the repomd (only)\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 sync-to-prod.sh                  -> Syncs staging to production\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 sync-to-staging.sh               -> Syncs a provided compose to staging\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 sync-to-staging-sig.sh           -> Syncs a sig provided compose to staging\n

Generally, you will only run minor-release-sync-to-staging.sh when a full minor release is being produced. So for example, if 8.5 has been built out, you would run that after a compose. gen-torrents.sh would be ran shortly after.

When doing updates, the order of operations (preferably) would be:

* sync-to-staging.sh\n* sync-to-staging-sig.sh -> Only if sigs are updated\n* sync-to-prod.sh        -> After the initial testing, it is sent to prod.\n

An example of order:

# The below syncs to staging\nRLVER=8 bash sync-to-staging.sh Extras\nRLVER=8 bash sync-to-staging.sh Rocky-devel\nRLVER=8 bash sync-to-staging.sh Rocky\n

Once the syncs are done, staging must be tested and vetted before being sent to production. During this stage, the updateinfo.xml is also applied where necessary to the repositories to provide errata. Once staging is completed, it is synced to production.

bash RLVER=8 sync-to-prod.sh\nbash sync-file-list-parallel.sh\n

During this phase, staging is rsynced with production, the file list is updated, and the full time list is also updated to allow mirrors to know that the repositories have been updated and that they can sync.

Note: If multiple releases are being updated, it is important to run the syncs to completion before running the file list parallel script.

First, the toolkit must be cloned. In the iso/empanadas directory, run poetry install. You'll then have access to the various commands needed:

Syncing utilizes the sync scripts provided in the release engineering toolkit.

When the scripts are being ran, they are usually ran with a specific purpose, as each major version may be different.

For SIG's, the only files you'll need to know of are sync-to-staging-sig.sh and sync-to-prod-sig.sh. Both scripts will delete packages and data that are no longer in the compose.

# The below syncs the core 8 repos to staging\nRLVER=8 bash sync-to-staging-sig.sh core\n# The below syncs the core 9 repos to staging\nRLVER=9 bash sync-to-staging-sig.sh core\n\n# The below syncs everything in staging for 8 core to prod\nRLVER=8 bash sync-to-prod-sig.sh core\n\n# The below syncs everything in staging for 9 core to prod\nRLVER=9 bash sync-to-prod-sig.sh core\n

Once staging is completed and reviewed, it is synced to production.

Below are a list of possible tasks to take with mirror manager, depending on the scenario.

"},{"location":"sop/sop_mirrormanager2/#new-release","title":"New Release","text":"

For the following steps, the following must be completed:

/opt/mirrormanager/scan-primary-mirror-0.4.2/target/debug/scan-primary-mirror --debug --config $HOME/scan-primary-mirror.toml --category 'Rocky Linux'\n/opt/mirrormanager/scan-primary-mirror-0.4.2/target/debug/scan-primary-mirror --debug --config $HOME/scan-primary-mirror.toml --category 'Rocky Linux SIGs'\n

  1. Update the redirects for $reponame-$releasever

    a. Use psql to mirrormanager server: psql -U mirrormanager -W -h mirrormanager_db_host mirrormanager_db

    b. Confirm that all three columns are filled and that the second and third columns are identical: 

    select rr.from_repo AS \"From Repo\", rr.to_repo AS \"To Repo\", r.prefix AS \"Target Repo\" FROM repository_redirect AS rr LEFT JOIN repository AS r ON rr.to_repo = r.prefix GROUP BY r.prefix, rr.to_repo, rr.from_repo ORDER BY r.prefix ASC;`\n

    c. Change the majorversion redirects to point to the new point release, for example: 

    update repository_redirect set to_repo = regexp_replace(to_repo, '9\\.1', '9.2') where from_repo ~ '(\\w+)-9-(debug|source)';`\n

    d. Insert new redirects for the major version expected by the installer

    insert into repository_redirect (from_repo,to_repo) select REGEXP_REPLACE(rr.from_repo,'9\\.1','9.2'),REGEXP_REPLACE(rr.to_repo,'9\\.1','9.2')FROM repository_redirect AS rr WHERE from_repo ~ '(\\w+)-9.1';\n

  2. Generate the mirrorlist cache and restart the debuglist and verify.

Once the bitflip is initiated, restart mirrorlist and reenable all cronjobs.

"},{"location":"sop/sop_mirrormanager2/#out-of-date-mirrors","title":"Out-of-date Mirrors","text":"
  1. Get current shasum of repomd.xml. For example: shasum=$(curl https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9.0/BaseOS/x86_64/os/repodata/repomd.xml | sha256sum)
  2. Compare against latest propagation log:
tail -latr /var/log/mirrormanager/propagation/rocky-9.0-BaseOS-x86_64_propagation.log.*`\n\nexport VER=9.0\nawk -v shasum=$(curl -s https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/$VER/BaseOS/x86_64/os/repodata/repomd.xml | sha256sum | awk '{print $1}') -F'::' '{split($0,data,\":\")} {if ($4 != shasum) {print data[5], data[6], $2, $7}}' < $(find /var/log/mirrormanager/propagation/ -name \"rocky-${VER}-BaseOS-x86_64_propagation.log*\" -mtime -1 | tail -1)'\n

This will generate a table. You can take the IDs in the first column and use the database to disable them by ID (table name: hosts) or go to https://mirrors.rockylinux.org/mirrormanager/host/ID and uncheck 'User active'.

Users can change user active, but they cannot change admin active. It is better to flip user active in this case.

Admins can also view https://mirrors.rockylinux.org/mirrormanager/admin/all_sites if necessary.

Example of table columns:
