Oct 1, 2025October 2025 monthly summary focusing on packaging reliability and build-system cleanup for the daos project. Implemented explicit RPM packaging conflict to prevent installation of daos-spdk with older SPDK versions, reducing installation failures due to dependency conflicts. Cleaned up packaging by removing Debian packaging files after migrating to FPM, simplifying the build system and reducing ongoing maintenance burden. These changes improve installation reliability, CI stability, and long-term release hygiene.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 delivered a major overhaul of the DAOS build system and dependency management for RPM-based releases in daos-stack/daos. The work consolidated and modernized the build workflow, reduced manual patching, and improved CI reliability. Key outcomes include a CopyRetriever-based mechanism for dependency handling and RPM source patching, CI base-branch discovery to support non-standard repo layouts, and the integration of external dependencies as submodules with co-located patches, streamlining RPM consolidation and reducing drift. These enhancements lower maintenance cost, increase release velocity, and improve consistency across downstream consumers.
