Hi everyone! I'm Maxine a #Linux Systems Administrator and Linux Engineer. I like to learn about how Linux works on a lower level and write #Bash scripts.
I just realized I don't think I ever shared the link to my OLF 2024 Rocky Linux is My $HOME presentation on my socials. Enjoy!

I've been learning about functional programming in Python as of late. I've been using the paradigm and new knowledge to refactor my OpenELA import tools. I've noticed a huge improvement in code quality and readability.

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.

So far I have a way to collect metadata on an OpenELA repository then cache it for later use.

I've been working on some tools to help me import OpenELA packages into Koji. I wrote a script in Python to make this easier.

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'm working on stage 3 of ELFS now. Stage 3 is essentially a rebuild of all the sources in stage 1 without the bootstrapping instructions.

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

I thought this was neat. Apparently RPM uses an rc file that contains macro definitions which are generic and distribution specific. Fedora 34 and Rocky's RPM rc vary wildly. I wonder if this effects how RPM packages are built on the different distributions.

I've been working on a new bootstrap method utilizing portions of all 3 of the ideas I had about reworking the ELFS build notes.

I may have to rework my build instructions. They worked up until I started bootstrapping the rootfs. libffi and python3 have been giving me some issues. I delved deeper to find a majority of the ELFS packages relied too heavily on Fedora's buildroot.

The build process for Standard was pretty standard. 😄
The build notes for the Standard group in ELFS are now finished! The next goal is to bootstrap a chroot environment using the ELFS packages!

I've made some adjustments to the kernel build to eliminate the need for patching the spec file. I hope building fuse will make it able to compile the self-tests.
