+Lokesh, he has taken up packaging kata containers for Fedora.
Update: Based in the comments from today's architecture meeting.
We are going for Kiwi to build the image in our OBS packages.
- This is a working solution for SUSE standards. - For the other distros because we maintain them this is an easy path. - It would be nice to have another Distros involved to know what is a good solution for adoption. Lokesh(at Fedora): Do you have any preference/advice to make more friendly the packaging process for fedora?

Hi,
I am adding some more details on the next steps.
- We should have in the next days a new devel project on OBS. - It will be set up with the target distributions and architectures. - This project will one day become the official Kata repo.
- For the golang components: we need new architecture independent
source and build instructions. - For RPM-based distro: I can kickstart this. - For DEB-based distros: volunteers needed! - For the kernel: probably the current spec file can be used, but it needs some updates: https://github.com/kata-containers/packaging/issues/211# issuecomment-426641819 . This is another things open to volunteers
- For the rootfs images/initrd: as James said, a discussion is ongoing about the possible packaging solutions: https://github.com/kata-containers/ packaging/issues/219 Ideas are welcome!
Thanks, Marco

Thanks for putting this summary together Graham.
Some of the discussion around packaging the images has also found it's way onto:

Hi all, We had a conf call yesterday to discuss our packaging plans with the OBS (SUSE) folks yesterday. I'll summarise here with a couple of Actions and the next steps.
Attendees: GrahamW, JamesH, MarcoV, FlavioC, CarlosV, ArchanaS
Marco put together a presentation, you can find at this link: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/ 1lfkElJyOV9hfZY5TFzKuk5Thl_aMyh-xW5W8PQPlHmo/edit#slide= id.g43c0c246ee_0_157
Fundamentally the plan is to: - move from the current 'home' setup Kata uses to a 'devel' setup to enable supported packaging into openSUSE and SLES. - the devel setup will be maintained by a combination of Kata community members and SUSE employees. - rewrite the specs to be more in line with SUSE standards - Add some method to handle building (or as Carlos' & James other email/Issue - possibly externally build and host) the current binary files - namely the rootfs image. - a possibility here is to use the SUSE 'kiwi' tool.
Question: Moving forwards, the Kata community will have to discuss/ decide which rootfs image (that is, which distro is the rootfs
upon) to set as the default for the different distro packages.
This may
be influenced by: - the ability to build some rootfs images from
others possibly not (DEB or Clear Linux based images maybe) - the 'natural choice' that maybe a distro package would use
a rootfs
based on the same distro (so SUSE would use a SUSE rootfs,
Ubuntu an
Ubuntu rootfs etc.)
There was some discussion around archiving older versions of
package base sources/RPMs/kiwi, and packages
so users have an option to pin or unwind their installations.
There are
some methods that may be useable for that in OBS - but, it
needs better
definition and testing.
There was some discussion around how for some distros (say
Ubuntu as an
example), we need to replace/over-ride the default golang
version that
comes with the distro to do a build of Kata. Presently we hold
binaries
in the repo for golang, and that is not acceptable in the
official SUSE
devel flows. There did seem to be a way to do this better (by
adding a
sub-package dependency).
There was a question if OBS can auto-detect new releases (of
Kata), and
automatically build. I think the answer is no, it does not do
auto
change detect/build - but, you can have a 'service file' that
wraps the
spec file builds and injects version info, so you can have a
one-step
update/build process (edit the service file and kick off a
build),
which reduces the burden.
Action: We'd like to ensure we do not duplicate any packaging
efforts
in parallel with other distros - that is, if another distro is
already
working on packaging Kata, then we do not want to invest too
much
effort on something that will then be replaced with a formal
release
from a distro. Julio - can you ascertain the current status
and plans
for Ubuntu Kata packaging for us please?
Action: SUSE would be interested in assessing the Clear Linux optimisations with a vew to applying them to the SUSE rootfs
image.
Graham to seek out details and contacts (all Clear Linux work
is open,
and will welcome adoption).
Action: Archana had a question about sub-versioning and how
users flip
versions - we ran out of time. Archana will open a GitHub
Issue to ask/
discuss.
Next step: The plan is to initially write the specs for SUSE
in the
devel area, and then migrate the other distro builds one at a
time from
home to devel. Marco and Carlos will work together on the
devel scripts
(with Marco taking the lead I believe).
I'm sure I've missed some finer details. It was a productive
meeting
and thanks Marco for pushing us along with this :-)
