✅ Release Checklist

• Stage 0 - Finishing Touches

  • Check if Kairos-docs were updated and consider tagging them with the same version as Kairos ( Fix artifact names kairos-docs#103)

  • Check if any kairos/packages was bumped and they were merged and repo updated (https://github.com/kairos-io/packages)
  • Check latest repository update was merged, otherwise trigger its job (https://github.com/kairos-io/kairos/actions/workflows/bump_repos.yml)
  • Make sure CI tests are passing.
  • Consider cutting an rc, alpha, ... based on changes on the CI

• Stage 1 - Manual testing

  • How: Using the assets from master, make sure that test scenarios not covered by automatic tests are passing, and that docs are still aligned

    • Fedora flavor install, and manual upgrade works

    • Any flavor interactive install (did kairos-alpine-3.18-standard-amd64-generic-v2.4.2-rc1-k3sv1.28.2+k3s1.iso)

    • Any flavor recovery reset

    • ARM images (openSUSE, alpine) boots and manual upgrade works (tested opensuse, alpine has other issues anyway, skipping)

    • ARM images passive and recovery booting

    • ARM images reset works

      • It seems to change the grub config because after reset I no longer get access through serial (was working before reset). My cmdline after reset: BOOT_IMAGE=(loop0)/boot/vmlinuz console=tty1 net.ifnames=1 rd.cos.oemlabel=COS_OEM rd.cos.oemtimeout=10 panic=5 rd.emergency=reboot rd.shell=0 systemd.crash_reboot=yes root=LABEL=COS_ACTIVE cos-img/filename=/cOS/active.img selinux=0 console=ttyTCU0,115200 modprobe.blacklist=vc4 8250.nr_uarts=1 rd.emergency=reboot rd.shell=0 panic=5 systemd.crash_reboot systemd.crash_shell=0

    • ARM images /oem exists

  • Check that arch is correct in the various images

    • [✓] quay.io/kairos/ubuntu:20.04-core-arm64-rpi4-v2.4.2-rc1 -> It's arm64
    • [✓] quay.io/kairos/opensuse:leap-15.5-standard-amd64-generic-v2.4.2-rc1-k3sv1.26.9-k3s1 -> it's amd64
    • [✓] quay.io/kairos/opensuse:leap-15.5-core-arm64-generic-v2.4.2-rc1 -> arm64

Known issues:

• Expired password on system with no rtc (e.g. rpi4) on Alpine #1994
• Filesystem expansion on rpi4 doesn't work with Alpine #1995
• Some keyboards may not before the OS is loaded (e.g. during grub menu). @jimmykarily's mechanical ducky keyboard for example. The raspberry pi keyboard works so it's not a general issue.
• 🐛 Fix issue with karios-agent upgrade #1998
• 🐛 Adapt kairos upgrade list-releases command to handle new repositories #1999
• cgroup_memory not mounted in Alpine rpi4 #2002

We don't consider these blockers because they only happen with Alpine (first 2) or with only some hardware (the third one). We will document these in the release notes and continue.

This has been merged to kairos master now: https://github.com/kairos-io/kairos-agent/pull/171/files . I will install opensuse on rpi, will do a reset and check if I still get serial access after rebooting.
