The OpenELA git repo is here!! Time to get serious.

I have a file-backed cache system now. It works similarly to a dictionary in Python, but only stores values in files as JSON. I still need to implement time-stamping. I'm also importing OpenELA sources into Koji from the cache.

I think I'm getting the SCM part of koji figured out. I got an SRPM to build from Rocky's GitLab. I was missing a way to fetch lookaside sources, so I used Skip Grube's getsrc.sh script for that in the kojid config.

I got the OpenELA sed to build in koji after changing the source link in the spec file and creating the source rpm.

I finally got sed to build. I had to make some adjustments to /etc/mock/sites-defaults.cfg. I also had to figure out what I needed to make the srpm-build and build groups properly.

I think I'm starting to get this figured out. I found some pretty useful Ansible playbooks written by ktdreyer. I had to make some adjustments to the Vagrant file to make it download the correct CentOS Stream image though. It was pointed to a 404 before.

While I've been waiting on packages to compile for ELFS I've been playing with xonsh in between builds.

Xonsh is a python-powered shell. I don't often use python, but have started growing a liking to it with xonsh.

I've been working on the new bootstrap method alongside a couple makefiles to aid me in testing. I'm on stage 2 now and so far things are looking pretty good. #linuxengineer
