We're dropping the old librdmacm for rdma-core, which includes
a bunch of libraries that are now obsolete. The rebuilding of
packages is already in progress, but the bundles need unbreaking
as well as having a new bundle to collect these tools into.
This bundle is WIP. Its content may move to one of the other
bundles in the future.

Hi,
just a heads up that we'll be reconfiguring some of the network topology around download.clearlinux.org and
the CDN infra behind that, tomorrow morning. If all goes well nobody will notice, but if the intended
change is not working well enough (say an outage) we may need to back out and I've been told the worst case outage
would be in the order of an hour.
Just noticed I did not respond to the list.

Trying to fill in some gaps in the build automation around Clear.
Thanks for your questions.
- How are non-autospec packages being tracked, e.g. clearlinux-pkgs/linux?
Spec files generated by autospec have the following comments in them:
# This file is auto-generated. DO NOT EDIT
# Generated by: autospec.py
The set of packages not autospec’d is implied by the absence of this comment. I know. Our inferencing techniques are awe-inspiring. :)
- Would it be possible for this special casing to be be baked into one or more variables of the Makefile of the package, so we can conditionally take action in a Makefile.common, eg. BUILDTYPE=mock
Interesting thought.
- Should we update the URL variable in the Makefile of such packages to parse out the upstream URL from the SPEC file if the SPEC is the source of truth for that package, eg. URL := $(shell grep Source0 linux.spec | tr -d " " | cut -f 2- -d:)
In practice, it doesn’t matter for us but I see the consistency angle in your suggestion.
- What's generating release notes, eg. https://download.clearlinux.org/current/RELEASENOTES?
- What's generating the licenses file in releases, eg. https://download.clearlinux.org/current/licenses?
We haven’t released these scripts yet. The script that builds the licenses file just rips through the spec files in a release and aggregates the Licenses found...
- Configs at https://download.clearlinux.org/current/config/image/ don't appear to have the Ister config for the PXE image. Is https://github.com/bryteise/ister/blob/master/create_pxe.sh used with the live image as input?
Yep. Nice detective work.
Thanks,
-Rob

Currently Clear Containers (CC) 3.0 could be run in Azure platforms, you need
to be sure that the platforms has nested vitalization capable.
Regarding Hyper-V, CC-2.X needs some tweaks to run on top of it, but you
can try with CC-3.0.
Pleas ask to your costumer to try CC-3.0
https://clearlinux.org/blogs/announcing-intel%C2%AE-clear-containers-30
As CC-3.0 is out CC team is deprecating CC-2.X.

We have suspend to disk disabled in the kernel, which means that to
enable it, you'll have to build a kernel yourself. This isn't too
complex, but beyond the skills of most users.
It's unlikely that suspend to disk would break other functionality,
however, one of the issues with suspend to disk is that a lot of
platforms have issues with it, and it's mostly irrelevant for any server
OS, which is why it is disabled.

I suspect it runs just fine. The gnome desktop is a little bit more
resource intensive but this shouldn't be an issue for any Intel CPU
that's fairly recent. I admit I haven't tried, though.

I forgot to ask if ClearLinux provides laptopmode userspace tools.
Sorry to bother you so much but before to install it on my servers I
would like use it on my own laptop! I hope for your understanding.
Thanks again!
Ciao,

For reference, this is a KBL mobile i3 processor:
https://ark.intel.com/products/95449/Intel-Core-m3-7Y30-Processor-4M-Cache-…
Yes, this processor should work (Note: we don't test or validate all
processors! We have a script you can run yourself to test it, though,
it's over here:
https://download.clearlinux.org/current/clear-linux-check-config.sh )

Both Gnome (the `desktop` bundle) and Xfce4 (deprecated) are available,
and with Intel HD graphics in your system you shouldn't have issues.

No, but this is not necessarily a problem. The tweaking we do for
performance are generally also beneficial for power, since we use
policies like keeping the server in idle, reduce memory usage and
finishing work quicker.
The gnome desktop may contain some additional options and tools to make
adjustments, as well as powertop. Things like suspend to disk are
however not supported.

I have experience running clearlinux on celeron based laptops (2015
models) for a personal project (school owned equipment - not paid for by
Intel) where I tought a class using clearlinux booted off a USB stick
(16gb storage) with similar RAM, and there were no issues with those
resource constraints. The students in the project even used gimp,
blender (flatpak based versions) on clearlinux without issues.
In the office, I also have ClearLinux running on a Minnowboard Max (2gb
ram/atom processor/6gb storage) and it's running a web browser with
xfce4 without issues.
Cheers,
Auke
Hello Alessio,
Thanks for taking the time to write down your questions.

Clearlinux runs GNOME 3, while it's not one of our priorities, we do
provide an usable desktop environment (so you may find some rough
edges). We use it for ourselves, and we'll keep it working and fix
bugs in it.
