mozilla's iot gateway as an rpm.
by Troy Dawson 28 Feb '19

28 Feb '19

Hi Jared, Sorry for this taking so long. I finally got some time to work on the gateway rpm. Though really, I need a second opinion to see if I should proceed with what I've done or try something else. As discussed a while ago, I have tried my hand at bundling the gateway nodejs dependencies. The biggest problem with that was there was several binary packages that it wanted. In the end, I bundled everything but those packages, and those packages I created links in the bundle. So the package depends on those binary nodejs packages, but everything else is bundled. I'm attaching my spec file, along with the gateway-tarball.sh that does the bundling. Could you let me know what you think? I'm totally open to being completely wrong. This is the first time I've done a nodejs bundling. Troy p.s. I figured I'd cc the rest of the iot mailling list incase anyone else on here has any ideas.

Obtaining Images - clarification needed
by Susan Lauber 31 Jan '19

31 Jan '19

Hi, As I begin to explore the IoT working group and the Getting Started Guide, the first gap I am finding is a section for "Obtaining images". Setting up a virtual machine starts (and pretty much ends) with decompress [filename].raw.xz Setting up a physical device does have some references to using (but not obtaining) Fedora-IoT-28-<BUILD ID> and Fedora-Rawhide.xz files. So I started looking for the images. I ended up with downloads from iot.stg.fedoraproject.org but with no CHECSUM files being found for verification. It looks to me like these will eventually belong at alt.fedoraproject.org or arm.fedoraproject.org but I have not yet determined the differences in those collections of aarch64 options. I was expecting to find them at arm.fedoraproject.org based on my past experiments with my Pi. I am going to need a bit of help on what are the correct pointers to add to an Obtaining images section of the getting started guide. Here are my notes on what pages show what information and where I found dead links: From the getfedora.org page, at the bottom I do see Fedora ARM -> https://arm.fedoraproject.org/ Alternative Downloads -> Alternate Architectures -> https://alt.fedoraproject.org/alt Both pages have Server, Minimal, and Workstation but then they begin to differ. Neither has anything labeled as IoT, however, the verify page for minimal https://arm.fedoraproject.org/verify.html In the text, lists a gpg --verify-files key for IOT Non of the -CHECKSUM files from this site include a Fedora-IoT image. If I navigate to the Alt verify page at https://alt.fedoraproject.org/en/verify.html Several of these links to CHECKSUM files cannot find the files. For example: "The requested URL /en/static/checksums/Fedora-Spins-29-1.2-aarch64-CHECKSUM was not found on this server." Next I found https://iot.stg.fedoraproject.org/ I downloaded the raw image (and have since gotten it setup in a virtual machine) https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/iot/29/IoT/x86_64/images/Fedora-IoT-29… The verify page from this site looks like a copy of the arm site verify page but only the page itself was copied over to the stg site. The links to the CHECKSUM files are all "not found" and appear to be the same base name as those used from the ARM site. Again, with no mentions of any Fedora-IoT named files. Comments welcome! -Susan -- Susan Lauber, (CCAH, RHCX, RHCA, RHCSS, RHCVA, CISSP) Lauber System Solutions, Inc. http://www.laubersolutions.com gpg: 15AC F794 A3D9 64D1 D9CE 4C26 EFC3 11C2 BFA1 0974

Introduction
by Susan Lauber 31 Jan '19

31 Jan '19

Hi, I'm Susan and I am the "Technical Writer" that will be working on the docs for the next month. I have previously contributed to Fedora Docs (long ago with early releases of publican) and I am also a part of the Ambassador program. FAS: laubersm and on mailing lists as laubersm(a)fedoraproject.org (which goes to my personal account). I mostly work with technical training, both writing and delivering courses. I contract through my own company for consulting and training services. Some of you may know me from Red Hat Certification and Training. I have also done some work with Cloudera for Apache Hadoop administration and security. I have experimented a bit with my own raspberry Pi and I have a new 3B+ that I purchased to use as a replacement for a laptop that is currently only streaming Hulu to my tv with a web browser. I was going to just pop on a spin that I would be familiar with but maybe this project will teach me about some alternatives for a simple streaming device! I have avoided any smart devices in my home so while I am aware of some of those IoT projects out there, it is more from a security and privacy view point than one of developing for the platform. I do teach some OpenShift administration and back when it was offered, Atomic host as well so I have some familiarity with ostree and containers. I am just starting the shift from docker to podman. I experimented with asciidoc over the weekend and also forked the docs git repo so I am ready to dig in. I'm in freenode as laubersm (and alternate of lauber) and will post more complex questions to this list. So, yeah. That's me! -Susan -- Susan Lauber, (CCAH, RHCX, RHCA, RHCSS, RHCVA, CISSP) Lauber System Solutions, Inc. http://www.laubersolutions.com gpg: 15AC F794 A3D9 64D1 D9CE 4C26 EFC3 11C2 BFA1 0974

Next 29.x IoT release
by Peter Robinson 26 Jan '19

26 Jan '19

Hi All, Just looking at a new 29 snapshot release as we have quite a few improvements over the December release. We have a least a bunch of fixes for the Raspberry Pi, in particular the WiFi is now fixed, we have a rebase onto the 4.20.x kernel series. Does anyone else have things that they would like to see fixed or contributions included? Peter
