#38 Branch Anaconda to restore Btrfs support
Closed 2 years ago by ngompa. Opened 3 years ago by ngompa.

In connection with #37, we need to have a build of Anaconda in c8s-sig-hyperscale-experimental that has Btrfs support restored.

This can go one of two strategies:

  1. Use the current version and add patches to revert disabling Btrfs support
  2. Backport Anaconda from Fedora and ship modified branding to pull Btrfs support back in

I currently lean toward option 1, simply because all the other CentOS-specific stuff will be properly handled, and cherry-picking improvements from Anaconda upstream for Btrfs stuff is fairly straightforward.


+1

I would also choose option 1 (and backport any new relevant patches if needed).

Option 2 is fairly complicated as there are just too many irrelevant changes which might break everything.

Yeah, my vote goes for option 1 as well.

I've prepared the commits that will be used as the basis for our Anaconda package: https://pagure.io/centos-sig-hyperscale/anaconda/commits/c8s-hs-v33.16.4.15

However, building the package is blocked on the -spin repo being created.

There's some missing functionality in Anaconda, which I've filed a bug for: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1961457

By the way, so far for this, I've branched and built the following:

  • centos-stream-hyperscale-spin-release
  • btrfs-progs
  • libblockdev
  • python-blivet
  • udisks2

These are all in the -spin repo.
