[rdo-dev] Re: RDO RPM hand over progress

Hi Amy, all, Following the discussion in the Matrix room this week, I'm volunteering to take on the PTL role for this effort. Sherif--who was the first to step up, thank you--will act as a backup for availability coverage. Once we've got a working cadence, we'll revisit a more distributed (DPL-style) model and/or elections. Sherif and I have collaborated on efforts in the past so I'm thrilled to be working with him (and all of you!) on this project. By way of (brief) introduction, I've been part of the OpenStack-Ansible core team for a few years and was involved with the Rocky Linux project from its inception until earlier this year. Quick summary of where things stand and the immediate plan: - The distgit repos have been migrated into the CentOS Cloud SIG namespace in GitLab (thank you Alfredo and Alan). - Next, per Alan's suggestion, we can validate that Cloud SIG membership grants permissions required in GitLab and Koji by pushing a test MR against an Epoxy branch. - From there, the goal is to bring all Epoxy packages up to their latest upstream bugfix releases, after which the team can settle on what and how we build going forward. I'll update the etherpad with this plan ahead of the 2026-07-14 14:00 UTC meeting with Jesse. Day-to-day coordination will happen on Matrix[1] and on this list. If you have offered to help but aren't sure where to start, join the room and say hi! We'll have concrete tasks up for grabs shortly. Thanks Amy for keeping this moving!
