Discussion:

• Update on K8s modules
  • fabianvf: got the modules generating, tests passing, fixed unit test generation and got that passing, added stages to Travis, and merged it all
• Ansible Container 0.9.3
  • j00bar: got the idempotent rebuilds working, and currently building out test infrastructure to prove it.
  • idempotent rebuilds needs to be added to the roadmap
  • chouseknecht asked about what appears to be a bug, but one related to idempotent rebuilds. The bug is: While working on a Django project, the source gets copied into the container via synchronize. The build process is not detecting when code has changed, and so subsequent runs of build do not add a new layer to the image.
  • j00bar confirmed that this behavior is a bug and should be addressed in the work on idempotent builds.
  • j00bar summarized idempotent builds as, "What would basically happen is it that the idempotent rebuild would notice the source had changed, spin up the intermediate build container for the role, and then reapply the same playbook to it. Most of the tasks would succeed with changed=false, and the synchronize would resynchronize.
  • chouseknecht reported: got our partner application at connect.redhat.com approved. Just need to finish the product / project submissions, and then I think we'll have access to the container catalog.
  • chouseknecht: and work is progressing on Config Maps. Started last week, and continuing this week.
• Ansible Container Buildah Engine
  • ttomecek reported: "Talked to my manager, and she said I can work on it as much as I want, so I hope that I'll finally start making some progress again."
• Docker Modules
  • chouseknecht reported: "On the Ansible Docker Modules front, I sent out an invitation to 35 contributors, asking them to stop by the group and share their opinions and ideas with us."
