[Pki-devel] Testing on Fedora 20

Hi guys, Sending to internal because there are some machine names here ... I have been testing dogtag on fedora 20. There are a number of problems right now, for which I am in the process of resolving and creating patches. In particular, resteasy has been upgraded to version 3.0.3., which contains support for JAX_RS 2.0. JAX_RS 2.0 has a specification for client side API as well as interceptors/filters. As a result, a number of the calls we currently make have been changed or deprecated. I have a patch to resolve this and allow us to build which I will post shortly. There are also changes to the tomcat startup scripts. Having the dogtag instance start up correctly will require changes to pkispawn, the startup scripts and maybe others. Still working through those ... In any case, all these changes will need to be checked into 10.1 eventually, and the build in F20 will need to be rebased to 10.1. At ths point, though, in order to develop on 10.1, you will need to have a fedora 20 machine. We do need to do this rebase and make this switch sooner rather than later so that we can shake out any f20 bugs. On the other hand, f20 is not yet in alpha phase (should be there soon). To mitigate the risk/delay in 10.1 development, we could: 1. Just make the switch. As soon as I can build and run pkispawn to create a CA (and do basic tests) on F20, check in - and have everyone go to F20. 2. Create a branch off master for continued 10.1 work for those who want to continue on F18/F19, at least temporarily. FWIW, I'm for option 1. It did not take too long for me to create an F20 machine, and I have been able to run eclipse and compile there with no problems. Below are instructions on how I did it: 1. Create an F19 machine. In my case, I created a VM in the IDM lab using the f19-developer-template. If you guys have not used the IDM lab, I strongly recommend it. 2. Add the following file: /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel20.repo [fedora20] name=Fedora 20 - $basearch failovermethod=priority baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/20... mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-20&... enabled=1 #metadata_expire=7d gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearch [fedora20-debuginfo] name=Fedora 20 - $basearch - Debug failovermethod=priority baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/20... mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-debug-2... enabled=0 metadata_expire=7d gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearch [fedora20-source] name=Fedora 20 - Source failovermethod=priority baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/20... mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-source-... enabled=0 metadata_expire=7d gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearch 3. yum install fedup 4. setenforce 0 --> prob not necessary, but thats how I had it. In fact, I'd do all of this in permissive just to be safe. 5. fedup-cli --network 20 --instrepo fedora20 6. reboot 7. I needed to make sure I had the latest versions of selinux-policy, selinux-policy-targeted and libsemanage. These are the latest ones in koji (3.12.1-79) and libsemanage-2.1.10-9.fc20.x86_64. In my case, I had to actually download them. Comments? Ade
