I see how to pass strings that turn into json objects now.

I think we will still want a matrix in the reusable build but it just takes inputs.

@befanyt got any opinions here? If we're going to build a new world we might as well get new eyes. 😄

Changelogs script is in place. It needs to be wired up.

In testing I saw that GTS and Latest do not have dates associated with them. That is rectified in this PR.

Beta is also now configured to follow coreos-testing. Beta will change from time to time on what it's following. It is not recommended for daily use.

Need to handle how stable-daily vs stable changelogs work.

Right now the workflow is called stable and we use that for changelogs. But we only want stable to get tagged weekly.

We could upload an artifact as a trigger. Or have some other way passing the fact that two changelogs are needed from resuable-build

[m2Giles]

Remaining:

Changelogs running for GTS and weekly stable only. If the workflow is GTS run thr changelog. If it's stable (not stable daily) make an output to tell to run changelogs.

Kernel Pinning. Have an input to reusable build for pinning a kernel.

I wish I had something useful to add here, but this is more of a 'watch and learn how it's done' kind of situation. :sweat_smile:

I believe this is now ready for review.

I think the only thing needed to change to make that a reality is to make sure build container and rechunk can run completely as root.

The only major concern is not having enough space on builds when copying to the rootful podman store.

Ah, like an additional flag to the build recipe to run it as root? Yes, then it would match workflow behavior.

This should be addressed by running build as root, no?

[m2Giles]

I would run the just command with sudo.

I've already put in a bunch of sudoif's so this should be just testing to make sure it works as intended.

I may add the secureboot check to the justfile.

After further review and discussion, while we DO want to make use of the new and improved just recipes within the github workflows, that effort can be iterated on. As is, this is already large and holding up some needed fixes. So we should make an issue to reduce the workflow specific code by calling just instead.

I'm continuing to review the existing changes tonight. So far looking nice.
