1.9.0

New features

• Copr plugin (#113)
  • Takes a user supplied copr project from which packages are taken
  • Packages in selected collection (likely rawhide) will be rebuilt against
    the packages from user's copr
  • Such rebuilds are done in autogenerated coprs

Upgrading from 1.8.2

  If you changed it from default, you'll need to move the pkgdb.cache section
  to caching.plugin.pkgdb.users section. (dots denote dictionary nesting
  level).
• Plugin directory structure was refactored, if you did manual changes to
  plugins, you'll need to adjust them
• Fedmsg watcher service was converted to plugin. If you want to use it, you'll
  need to enable it in plugins config section

• Fedmsg publishing needs to be explicitly enabled in fedmsg-publisher.enabled

  require updating your scripts.
• If you were running in secondary mode, you need to use koschei-admin edit-collection to switch your collections to secondary mode.
• Database migration
  • Run alembic -c /usr/share/koschei/alembic.ini upgrade head while the
    backend services and httpd are stopped

    documentation in /usr/share/koschei/config.cfg.

  • Configure httpd's authentication in /etc/httpd/config.d/koschei.conf.
    Example snippet for Fedora OpenID provider (needs mod_auth_openid installed):

    <Location /login>
        Require valid-user
        AuthType OpenID
        AuthOpenIDSingleIdP https://id.fedoraproject.org/
        AuthOpenIDServerName https://apps.fedoraproject.org

• Reconfigure bugzilla template and collection to get FTBFS bugreport functionality
  • "bugreport" key was updated to include more keys in the template,
    see the default configuration for the documentation and example
  • Collections gained two new fields - bugzilla_product and
    bugzilla_version. They need to be set in order for bugreporting to be
    available. They can be set via koschei-admin edit-collection.
• If you altered some of the application links, you'll need to chnage them to
  new, more general format. See default configuration for documentation and
  examples
• Database migration
  • Run alembic -c /usr/share/koschei/alembic.ini upgrade head while the
    backend services and httpd are stopped
  • Some of the old existing build data may not comply with new constraints.

1.6.1

Bugfix release. Fixes bug in receiving real builds via fedmsg watcher.

1.6

New features

• Decoupled frontend and backend
  • Separate subpackages
  • Separate configuration
  • Frontend no longer uses koji or fedmsg
  • Frontend and backend can be deployed on separate machine
• Split out Fedora specific parts

Improvements

• Using tito for release process
• Automatically cancel builds running for too long
• Running all tests during RPM build (including postgres ones)
• Tests for frontend
• Refactoring of configuration handling (deferred loading, split files)
• Other refactorings
• Documentation for all configuration options

Bugfixes

• Fix compatibility with current version of koji client

Upgrading from 1.5

• Components were split into subpackages. List of components:

  • admin
    • koschei-admin script and database migrations
  • backend
    • backend services. Recommended to run on machine that has recent
      versions of libsolv+hawkey stack installed, i.e. on Fedora
  • backend-fedora
    • Fedora specific bits of backend - fedmsg watcher service,
      fedmsg_publisher plugin, pkgdb plugin
  • frontend
    • WSGI frontend. Doesn't use fedmsg, koji or depsolver anymore, can be
      therefore deployed on less bleeding-edge configurations, such as RHEL 7
  • frontend-fedora
    • Fedora-specific bits for frontend. Currently only pkgdb plugin.

• Configuration split - there are separate configuration files for components:

  • /etc/koschei/config-backend.cfg
  • /etc/koschei/config-frontend.cfg
  • /etc/koschei/config-admin.cfg - used by koschei-admin and also alembic migrations

  During the upgrade, the central configuration file /etc/koschei/config.cfg
  needs to be split into those three. The configuration format and options
  didn't change from previous release. Therefore the upgrade can be done by
  copying the former config.cfg file to the 3 locations above and removing
  configuration options that are irrelevant for each given component.

• Plugins are now turned off by default and have to be explicitly enabled in
  plugin section of the configuration. For example "plugins": ["pkgdb"].

• Database migration

  • run alembic -c /usr/share/koschei/alembic.ini upgrade head while the
    services and httpd are stopped

1.5

New features:

• Support for tracking multiple package collections
  • Can be used to track multiple Fedora releases
  • Currently an experimental feature, that required rewrite of large
    portion of code. Due to that, we'll wait for some time before enabling it
    in production instance.
• repo_regen plugin for deployments in secondary mode
  • Used to regenerate and track koji repos when having it's own private koji
    for building

Improvements and bugfixes:

• Compact representation of dependencies
  • Using postgres arrays and zlib compression
  • Should reduce the database size significantly (necessary to scale to multiple collections)
• User<->Package relation now stored in dogpile.cache instead of main database
• More efficient polling for new builds
• Fixing ORM errors on stale rows when deleting builds
• Bugfixes in secondary mode
• Bugfixes in repo_cache
