Koji 1.32.0 Release notes

All changes can be found in the roadmap. Most important changes are listed here.

Migrating from Koji 1.31/1.31.1

For details on migrating see Migrating to Koji 1.32

Security Fixes

None

Client Changes

download-tasks has sorted tasks in check closed/not closed tasks

Simple change to have deterministic output

API Changes

Remove krbLogin API

This call is deprecated for long and should have been replaced by sslLogin everywhere. In this case sslLogin is backed up by GSSAPI.

Add checksum API

We’ve added complete API for computing/storing/querying full file checksums for individual RPM files. Basic set of checksum types is computed when RPM is imported into koji (via import or build task). This set is defined in hub.conf via RPMDefaultChecksums which is md5 and sha256 by default. All users can query stored checksums via getRPMChecksums call.

Builder Changes

Handle migrated rpmdb path

RPM db was in recent Fedora’s moved from /var/lib/rpm to /usr/lib/sysimage/rpm. For builds based on that koji was unable to determine buildroot content correctly resulting in empty buildroot listings.

System Changes

Use_fast_upload=True as default everywhere

It is seamless change for almost everybody. Fast upload mechanism is here for more than ten years. Clients now has one less call to do (determining if server supports it)

rpmdiff: replace deprecated rpm call

rpmdiff was adapted to current rpm API

Move hub code to site-packages

We’ve moved hub code to site-packages allowing further refactoring. Important is that _everybody_ needs to fix their httpd.conf to point to new app location:

- Alias /kojihub /usr/share/koji-hub/kojixmlrpc.py
+ Alias /kojihub /usr/share/koji-hub/kojiapp.py

Continuing internal refactoring for safer SQL handling.

Fix default archivetypes extensions

Simple fix of default extensions for VHDX compressed images.

unify migration scripts

Merged few older redundant migration scripts.

Deprecated get_sequence_value

For plugin writers - this internal method is now deprecated and similar method koji.db.nextval should be used instead.

Remove DisableGSSAPIProxyDNFallback option on Hub

Deprecated setting finally removed.

replace deprecated distutils

We’ve dropped deprecated distutils.

Add custom_user_metadata to build info for wrapperRPM build type

Recreate timeouted session

Sessions now can have defined lifetime. After that they’ll be marked as expired still allowing client to reauthenticate and reuse that session. Calling logout will finally destroy the session with no possibility of reviving. This change should be seamless for most users. (E.g. builder code needed no change as it is completely transparent behaviour for pythong client)

Expiration time is not defined anywhere now. It is up to admins to either expire sessions selectively or set up cron job expiring all sessions after some time. If not handled, koji sessions will behave exactly same way as in previous releases.

This is a new behaviour to improve koji’s security.

Utilities

koji-gc: use history to query trashcan contents

Performance improvement lowering memory usage on the hub.

VM

kojikamid: remove clamav scanner

As ClamAV is no more supported on cygwin, we’re going to drop source and artifcats scanning support for windows build expecting that this scanning should happen outside of koji (or via plugin). We’re not scanning any other artifact type, so it makes more sense to outsource it here also.

Content Generator Changes

metadata for koji task id

Metadata format was extended to allow linking to koji task. So new key metadata['build']['task_id'] is allowed now. For OSBS there is a compatibility fallback on metadata['extra']['container_koji_task_id'] for older builds.

Documentation

Fix auth unit tests

Improve help for call –python option
