PROFILE
Matyas Selmeci
Worked on the PelicanPlatform/pelican repository, focusing on build system management, packaging, and deployment reliability across diverse Linux environments. Delivered features such as automated Goreleaser configuration for multi-platform releases, dependency management for RPM and Docker builds, and enhancements to Docker images for reproducibility and onboarding. Addressed issues with systemd service consistency, explicit binary dependencies, and version pinning to reduce runtime errors and deployment drift. Utilized Go, Shell scripting, and YAML to implement CI/CD workflows, configuration templating, and packaging updates. The work emphasized traceability, automation, and compatibility, resulting in more stable releases and streamlined deployment pipelines for the project.

Mar 1, 2026March 2026 monthly summary for PelicanPlatform/pelican: Implemented automated Goreleaser configuration generation and release workflow, enabling consistent multi-platform builds and packaging. Removed manual Goreleaser config and integrated generation into CI/CD, with Windows-specific adjustments to avoid WSL-related issues. This work included updates to Makefile, Dockerfile, and GitHub Actions, and a dedicated script to render .goreleaser.yml from a template with version substitution and RPM version handling. The changes reduce release drift and shorten release cycles.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026 monthly summary for PelicanPlatform/pelican: Delivered RPM dependency update for pelican-server to require xrdhttp-pelican >= 0.0.10, improving runtime readiness and deployment reliability in RPM-based environments. Debian dependencies remain unchanged due to unavailability of Debs. This work reduces startup failures caused by missing components and improves reproducibility across deployments. Commit 61bed0b5dda9c8f5c9283466dcc49c6bef7c700f documents the change.

Dec 1, 2025December 2025: PelicanPlatform/pelican delivered stabilization for Xrdhttp-pelican in XRootD 5.9 image builds. Pinning xrdhttp-pelican to a specific minor version aligned with the locked XRootD version, adding Koji-based installation support for non-source builds, and upgrading to xrdhttp-pelican 0.0.8 to ensure 5.9 compatibility. These changes improve image build reliability, reduce upgrade risk, and improve performance in deployed environments.
