|
||||
|
||||
Hot off the heels of the recent large release (0.0.25) I've just
|
||||
released an incremental update...
|
||||
|
||||
See more here:
|
||||
|
||||
https://purpleidea.com/blog/2024/03/27/a-new-provisioning-tool/
|
||||
|
||||
With that, here are a few highlights from the release:
|
||||
|
||||
* We have a new mgmt partner program. Please sign-up for early access
|
||||
to these release notes, along with other special privileges. Details
|
||||
at: https://bit.ly/mgmt-partner-program
|
||||
|
||||
* Type unification for the provisioning tool is about 40x faster.
|
||||
|
||||
* We fix a small bug related to the upcoming fedora 40 release.
|
||||
|
||||
And much more...
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
DOWNLOAD
|
||||
|
||||
Prebuilt binaries are available here for this release:
|
||||
https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/releases/tag/0.0.26
|
||||
|
||||
They can also be found on the Fedora mirror:
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
NEWS
|
||||
|
||||
* Added old release notes into git
|
||||
|
||||
* We now skip over unreleased Fedora versions (like "40 Beta") when
|
||||
trying to automatically determine the latest stable release.
|
||||
|
||||
* Type unification was structurally refactored to make way for a bunch
|
||||
of future improvements and generally to modernize the code.
|
||||
|
||||
* Added some unification optimizations and a unification flag
|
||||
optimizations system to allow solvers to support special flags. One of
|
||||
these new flags was used for the provisioner code with a substantial
|
||||
improvement in type unification time by about 40x.
|
||||
|
||||
* New cli args are also available for using these flags.
|
||||
|
||||
* We're looking for help writing Amazon, Google, DigitalOcean, Hetzner,
|
||||
etc, resources if anyone is interested, reach out to us. Particularly
|
||||
if there is support from those organizations as well.
|
||||
|
||||
* Many other bug fixes, changes, etc...
|
||||
|
||||
* See the git log for more NEWS, and for anything notable I left out!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
BUGS/TODO
|
||||
|
||||
* Function values getting _passed_ to resources doesn't work yet, but
|
||||
it's not a blocker, but it would definitely be useful. We're looking
|
||||
into it.
|
||||
|
||||
* Function graphs are unnecessarily dynamic. We might make them more
|
||||
static so that we don't need as many transactions. This is really a
|
||||
compiler optimization and not a bug, but it's something important we'd
|
||||
like to have.
|
||||
|
||||
* Running two Txn's during the same pause would be really helpful. I'm
|
||||
not sure how much of a performance improvement we'd get from this, but
|
||||
it would sure be interesting to build. If you want to build a fancy
|
||||
synchronization primitive, then let us know! Again this is not a bug.
|
||||
|
||||
* General type unification performance can be improved drastically. I
|
||||
will have to implement the fast algorithm so that we can scale to very
|
||||
large mcl programs. Help is wanted if you are familiar with "unionfind"
|
||||
and/or type unification.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
TALKS
|
||||
|
||||
I don't have anything planned until CfgMgmtCamp 2025. If you'd like to
|
||||
book me for a private event, or sponsor my travel for your conference,
|
||||
please let me know.
|
||||
|
||||
I recently gave two talks: one at CfgMgmtCamp 2024, and one at FOSDEM
|
||||
in the golang room. Both are available online and demonstrated an
|
||||
earlier version of the provisioning tool which is fully available
|
||||
today. The talks can be found here: https://purpleidea.com/talks/
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
PARTNER PROGRAM
|
||||
|
||||
We have a new mgmt partner program which gets you early access to
|
||||
releases, bug fixes, support, and many other goodies. Please sign-up
|
||||
today: https://bit.ly/mgmt-partner-program
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
MISC
|
||||
|
||||
Our mailing list host (Red Hat) is no longer letting non-Red Hat
|
||||
employees use their infrastructure. We're looking for a new home. I've
|
||||
opened a ticket with Freedesktop. If you have any sway with them or
|
||||
other recommendations, please let me know:
|
||||
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freedesktop/freedesktop/-/issues/1082
|
||||
|
||||
We're still looking for new contributors, and there are easy, medium
|
||||
and hard issues available! You're also welcome to suggest your own!
|
||||
Please join us in #mgmtconfig on Libera IRC or Matrix (preferred) and
|
||||
ping us if you'd like help getting started! For details please see:

|
||||
Although asking in IRC/matrix is the best way to find something to work
|
||||
on.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
MENTORING
|
||||
|
||||
We offer mentoring for new golang/mgmt hackers who want to get
|
||||
involved. This is fun and friendly! You get to improve your skills,
|
||||
and we get some patches in return. Ping me off-list for details.
