Migrating to Koji 1.11

The 1.11 release of Koji includes a several changes that you should consider when migrating.

DB Updates

There are a number of new tables and columns to support content generators. Here is a summary:

  • The btype table tracks the known btypes [LINK] in the system

  • The build_types table links builds to their btype(s)

  • The content_generator table tracks the known content generators in the system

  • The cg_users table tracks which users have access to which content generators

  • The buildroot table now tracks more generic buildroots

  • The standard_buildroot table tracks data for “normal” koji buildroots

  • Several tables now have an extra column that stores json data

  • There are several new entries in the archivetypes table

  • The image_listing table has been replace by the more general archive_rpm_components table

  • The new archive_components complements this and tracks non-rpm components

As in previous releases, we provide a migration script that updates the database.

# psql koji koji  </usr/share/doc/koji-1.11.0/docs/schema-upgrade-1.10-1.11.sql
Note: prior to this release, we had some interim update scripts:

  • schema-update-cgen.sql

  • schema-update-cgen2.sql

Most users should not need these scripts. The new schema upgrade script includes those changes.

Command line changes

The help command now shows a categorized list of commands.

The hello command now reports the authentication type.

Several commands support new arguments. Here are the notable changes:

add-tag

  • Supports several new task selection options

download-build

  • --rpm : Used to download a particular rpm by name

The ca option is deprecated and no longer required for ssl authentication (serverca is still required).

Even if not using ssl authentication, the serverca option, if specified, is used to verify the certificate of the server.
