Yep, it's that time again. # What landed? A relatively quiet week this week with folks out at conferences and on holidays. We still managed to land 47 PRs though. The high level summary is: - We added a slew of new tests in the https://github.com/kata-containers/tests repo. - We've made a few tweaks to how existing tests run to make debugging CI failures easier. - We fixed the unit test code coverage reporting. This had silently broken due to a nasty combination of factors so we are taking steps to avoid that ever happening again. - We fixed a number of issues with our packaging which is a complex beast! (https://github.com/kata-containers/packaging). - We made a number of improvements to shutdown and "corner-case" system behaviour. - We started building Fedora 30 packages to allow you to install Kata easily if you're running that version ( https://github.com/kata-containers/documentation/tree/master/install). - We added a new CI document check: all documents must be referenced by atleast one other document in the repo (with the main exception of the top-level README). This guarantees all documents can be navigated to from each repos top-level README. Adding the check also shook out a few document link bugs (now fixed) and also uncovered a few docs I think we'd forgotten we'd written! # Don't miss If you haven't already seen it, tal at Salvador's great article on how we test Kata: https://medium.com/kata-containers/kata-containers-testing-and-packaging-pow... # Fun Facts ## Fun fact 1 Rather than modifying the master config file (/usr/share/defaults/kata-containers/configuration.toml), you can create a custom configuration file as /etc/kata-containers/configuration.toml. If you want to reset your environment back to using the pristine config file, just delete /etc/kata-containers/configuration.toml. ## Fun fact 2 In addition to the CI scripts [1], did you know that the tests repo contains a number of additional tools (for log parsing, metrics, installation, commit checking, etc) that we use for testing? - https://github.com/kata-containers/tests/tree/master/cmd Cheers, James [1] - https://github.com/kata-containers/tests/tree/master/.ci --- https://katacontainers.io/ | https://github.com/kata-containers <https://github.com/clearcontainers> Open Source Technology Center Intel Corporation (UK) Ltd. - Co.
